Subject: CPU - Power state (Cx) usage count not working
Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2006 09:19:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43D491A5.6010000@sbox.tugraz.at> (raw)

Hi everybody!

According to the ACPI4Linux doc

cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power

should look like

active state:            C2
default state:           C1
bus master activity:     00004f00
states:
    C1:                  promotion[C2] demotion[--] latency[000]
usage[00033670]
   *C2:                  promotion[C3] demotion[C1] latency[084]
usage[00357060]
    C3:                  promotion[--] demotion[C2] latency[120]
usage[00000000]

Unfortunaltely on my system (P4m 1800Mhz; 2.4.31 or .32) the usage count
shows always 00000000. Unloading several modules (eg usb-ohci) has no
effect.

IIrc the count and the statistics were working in earlier times (arond
2.4.25+) All of them vanilla with the preemptive patch from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/preempt-kernel/v2.4/

Is there anything I can do to figure out more on the reason?
Of course I would like to know whether this is only a symptom for a
minor proble or wheher the whole power-state thing is not working,
resulting in shorter battery life.

Thanks for your help!

G. Maier
