Bug ID: 60727
Summary: The CPU frequency does not raise when compiling
packages on Gentoo
Product: Power Management
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 3.11-rc4
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: cpufreq
Assignee: cpufreq@vger.kernel.org
Reporter: patrakov@gmail.com
Regression: No
Created attachment 107170

Kernel config (3.11-rc4)
The kernel used for this bug report is not a vanilla 3.11-rc4, but the one
patched with https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=106891&action=diff
from bug #58971. It is not possible to know whether this is a regression,
because the bug (if it existed before) was effectively masked by bug #48721.
To reproduce, compile a simple package (like media-libs/tiff-4.0.3-r2) on
Gentoo using portage. Sometimes (but not always), during the whole process, the
CPU frequency (both as reported by cpufreq-info and as reported by cat
/proc/cpuinfo) doesn't raise as high as I would expect. I.e. it raises only to
1176 MHz, while I expect it to become 3.50 GHz on at least one CPU core,
because the compilation process is clearly CPU bound. The driver is
intel_pstate and the governor is powersave.
It may be relevant that the load created by portage is nice (but there is no
ignore_nice_load file in my sysfs tree), and that all of the configuration
tests and gcc calls exit quickly. If the setting to ignore the nice load exists
with intel_pstate but is not named ignore_nice_load, then please tell me about
it - the bug may be invalid after all due to it.
