[Bug 1579278] Re: Consider changing default CPU frequency scaling governor back to "performance" (Ubuntu Server)

 

The default is already CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y.
However, it can be changed from user space. I suggest looking at
/etc/init.d/ondemand

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: Triaged => Invalid

Title:
  Consider changing default CPU frequency scaling governor back to
  "performance" (Ubuntu Server)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  With the new Ubuntu archive servers, we saw constantly high load and
  after some tinkering, we found that it was mostly CPUs being woken up
  to see if they should enter idle states. Changing the CPU frequency
  scaling governor to "performance" saw a considerable drop.

  Perf report using the following commands:

  | perf record -g -a sleep 10
  | perf report
