Shell script to select the right cpufreq module?

Shell script to select the right cpufreq module?

[Michael Opdenacker]

Hello,

I'm testing Fedora Core 2 test 2 (FC2T2) and cpufreq works just fine! 
Thanks a lot for your good work!

By the way, in FC2T2, you have to set the DRIVER variable in 
/etc/cpuspeed.conf according to your processor (DRIVER=p4-clockmod in my 
case). Otherwise, even if you start the /etc/init.d/cpuspeed script, 
nothing happens.

I would like to automate that so that the /etc/init.d/cpuspeed script 
automatically loads the right cpufreq module if the cpu is supported. If 
users don't want cpu frequency scaling, they just have to disable this 
service at startup.

Does anyone here already have a shell script that reads /proc/cpuinfo 
and returns the name of the corresponding cpufreq module if the 
processor is supported?

Otherwise, I'll start to write one and ask you guys to test it, as I can 
only make tests on P4.

Thank you in advance,

    Cheers,

    Michael.

I proposed one such shell script a couple of weeks ago and submitted a
draft, which I can't locate in the archives ATM so here it is again:

end of script... and as I'm more interested in the kernel side of cpufreq
anyways, I'd be glad if somebody else would finish this script and make it
ready for prime-time usage. Are you willing to do so? Would be great!

Re: Shell script to select the right cpufreq module?

[Michael Opdenacker]

Hi Dominik!

That's a very good start... thanks a lot!
I will modify it according to my needs (just need something that sets a 
variable to the right module name, or leaves it with an empty value 
otherwise), and will post it to this list for testing, in particular on 
non Intel processors.

:-)

    Michael.

Re: Shell script to select the right cpufreq module?

[Carl Thompson]

Does Vendor/Family/Model/Stepping give you enough information to
determine the appropriate cpufreq driver?  I notice that you are also
looking for the acpi processor flag which will override everything else
and using the p4-clockmod driver.  Otherwise, it looks like my Dell
laptop would have used speedstep-ich according to your script.  Is
p4-clockmod better than speedstep-ich?  Is it true that any processor
that has the 'acpi' flag set will use the p4-clockmod driver as your
script assumes?  Fedora Core 2 does not seem to even include the
speedstep-ich driver.  Is it obsolete?  (Sorry, most of my experience
is with AMD mobile processors).

Where can I find more complete info on possible values for the fields of
/proc/cpuinfo and the different cpufreq drivers they represent?  It
doesn't have to be a working script; with the info I'll write my own to
include with cpuspeed.

Thanks,
Carl

Well, checking for the acpi flag is easier than compiling the
vendor/family/model/stepping check for _any_ such CPU...

No -- it p4-clockmod is loaded [almost] last, so all other drivers are tried
first, if the CPU supports them. And that's the sane thing to do, as
p4-clockmod hardly ever saves any power.

speedstep-ich is better as it also scales voltage in addition to frequency,
and if your system executes the "hlt" instruction properly, or even has ACPI
C2-support, p4-clockmod will not save you _anything_.

OOOOPS. Dave?

No, it's not obsolete, it is _recommended_ for many systems.

For Intel-based CPUs, the info I provided should be enough, for AMD, well,
you asked a lot of people for it a few minutes ago...

Re: Shell script to select the right cpufreq module?

[Michael Opdenacker]

Hi Carl,

Are you trying to write this script for the FC2 /etc/init.d/cpuspeed 
too? If you can do it, that's great!

Here are details about my processor. According to the specs, it's an 
Intel Pentium 4B processor at 2.4 GHz (Northwood 533 MHz, 0.13 um, 512 
KB cache):

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 2
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
stepping        : 7
cpu MHz         : 899.900
cache size      : 512 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov 
pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid
bogomips        : 4734.97

Note that this processor works with a reduced frequency at the moment... :-)

Cheers,

Michael.

A grep shows..
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH=y

Well, if the module name is supposed to be "speedstep-ich.ko" then I'm
not seeing it installed anywhere...

Thanks,

=y means non-modular. It's compiled in.

Re: Shell script to select the right cpufreq module?

[Carl Thompson]

Sorry!  Well, then, if it's compiled in how do I activate it so that it
actually works?  No cpufreq functionality seems to be active on
startup...

Thanks,
Carl

hmm puzzling. no cpufreq messages at all during boot ?

What does /proc/cpuinfo say, and is there anything in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq ?
(if so, what are the contents of those files)

[Carl Thompson]

D'oh!  It appears that this is simply not a mobile CPU.
