Try attached patch for this.

I don't really have a reason for that :(
But with your config it is clear that, your working setup has:

# CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE is not set
# CONFIG_X86_PCC_CPUFREQ is not set
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m

and rc4 version has:

CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE=y
CONFIG_X86_PCC_CPUFREQ=m
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m

So, i believe you are using another cpufreq driver this, try with same
configuration once.

My attached patch will restore 1. instead of CASE 2.

This must be related to your different driver.

These were very important and helpful.

Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Don't set policy->related_cpus from
 .init()

With the addition of following patch:

fcf8058 cpufreq: Simplify cpufreq_add_dev()

cpufreq driver's .init() routine must initialize policy->cpus with mask of all
possible cpus (Online + Offline) that share the clock. Then the core would copy
this mask onto policy->related_cpus and will reset policy->cpus to carry only
online cpus.

acpi-cpufreq driver wasn't updated with this assumption and so sometimes when
we try to hot[un]plug cpus at run time, sysfs directories gets corrupted.

This patch fixes acpi-cpufreq driver against this corruption.

Yes, intel_pstate is not really a cpufreq driver.  It just overtakes the
whole subsystem.

Dirk, can you please check if this is as intended?

This is working as intended.  The intel_pstate driver has the governor
integrated into the scaling driver and does not use external governors.

The reason the frequency is strange is because intel_pstate returns a
measured value of the effective frequency that the core ran at during
the last time it was sampled.

-rc4 + yours path, config based on -rc3:

# CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE is not set
# CONFIG_X86_PCC_CPUFREQ is not set

(use acpi-cpufreq)

Freq. seems be ok. 'ondemand' governor works as expected.

Good, thanks for testing.

Viresh, do you want me to apply that patch or are you going to send another
one?

I haven't send it upstream until now as i was waiting for Duncan to reply back.
But as Maciej has tested it now, i will send it upstream and you can apply it.

[REGRESSION] [CPUFREQ] 3.9.0-rcX

[Maciej Rutecki]

Hi,

(long e-mail, sorry ;-))

Last known good: 3.8.0

Short description:
1. On -rc3, after s2ram cpufreq does not set CPU on max frequency on
high load (on battery).
2. On -rc4 (this is not real regression because I change config
between -rc3 and rc4), "ondemand" does not work. Current frequency is
'strange' (792 MHz).

Detailed description:

1. Kernel 3.8.0:

I try:
# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu
# CPU_LIST="cpu0/cpufreq/ cpu1/cpufreq/ cpu2/cpufreq cpu3/cpufreq"
# for i in $CPU_LIST; do echo -e "\n\n==================\n$i"; grep ''
-R $i/*; done

Output (show only fisrt CPU, others are same):
cpu0/cpufreq/
cpu0/cpufreq//affected_cpus:0
cpu0/cpufreq//bios_limit:2200000
cpu0/cpufreq//cpuinfo_cur_freq:800000

cpu0/cpufreq//scaling_max_freq:2200000
cpu0/cpufreq//scaling_min_freq:800000

It is good: governor "on demand", frequencies also good (800MHz)

CASE 1
Run in other consoles "while true; do echo -n; done" (four times),
power on/off AC power, suspend to ram:

cpu0/cpufreq//scaling_max_freq:2200000
cpu0/cpufreq//scaling_min_freq:800000

Still is good, governor works as expected.
