Subject: cpufreq: intel_pstate: EPB with performance governor
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 06:33:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000701d656be$c48083e0$4d818ba0$@net> (raw)
Hi Srinivas and/or Rafael,
Can you please confirm or deny that an older
commit:
commit 8442885fca09b2d26375b9fe507759879a6f661e
cpufreq: intel_pstate: Set EPP/EPB to 0 in performance mode
has been superseded by:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_epb.c
and that now there is no way to have some default EPB (say 6) for
governors other than performance, while still getting an EPB of 0
for the performance governor.
... Doug
Additional notes:
Both my test computers have EPB as 0 upon startup,
But I also tried this:
diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_epb.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_epb.c
index f4dd73396f28..b536e381cd56 100644

which did get rid of this message:
