Message-ID: <bug-70941-12968@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70941
Bug ID: 70941
Summary: 'powersave' performance excessively slow on Dell Venue
8 Pro (Baytrail tablet)
Product: Power Management
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 3.14rc3
Hardware: i386
OS: Linux
Tree: Fedora
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: cpufreq
Assignee: cpufreq@vger.kernel.org
Reporter: awilliam@redhat.com
Regression: No
I've noticed recent 3.14 kernels perform extremely sluggishly on my Venue 8 Pro
(Baytrail-based tablet). Doing 'echo performance >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor' speeds things right up
again: default is 'powersave'.
Obviously performance will be faster, but powersave seems really egregiously
slow. Just stuff like paging through console output at a VT is incredibly
sluggish - I can run 'journalctl -b', hit End, and watch it draw one painful
line at a time.
The scaling_driver is 'intel_pstate' . I think pstate stuff may have been
broken on baytrail for a while - I had to boot with intel_pstate=disable for a
bit, and before that it may just not have been kicking in - which is probably
why I didn't notice this until rc2 or so.
The frequency range is 200MHz->1.6GHz with both 'powersave' and 'performance'.
I'm not sure what's the best way to watch the scaling kick in, but using
powertop or just spamming 'cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq' , it does seem to scale
up rather faster with performance.
Not sure what info is needed to help debug this, just ask and I'll provide.
