[Bug 1579278] Re: Keep powersave CPU frequency scaling governor for CPUs that support intel_pstate

 

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 231-6git1

---------------
systemd (231-6git1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  Upload current Debian packaging git.

  * fsckd: Do not exit on idle timeout if there are still clients connected
    systemd-fsckd's event loop terminates if nothing happens for 30 seconds.
    Exiting prematurely while fsck is still running but simply too slow to
    send us progress updates would close the socket and fsck would receive
    SIGPIPE when it writes to the socket. If this happens, the fsck process
    is aborted and the file system check is not completed. (Closes: #788050)
    (LP: #1547844)

  * 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules: Split kernel command line import line.
    Reportedly this makes the rule actually work on some platforms. Thanks Alp
    Toker! (LP: #1593379)
  * debian/tests/boot-smoke: Only run 5 iterations
  * systemd.postinst: Drop obsolete setcap call for systemd-detect-virt.
    Drop corresponding libcap2-bin dependency.
  * debian/tests/systemd-fsckd: Robustify check for "unit was running"
    (LP: #1624406)
  * debian/extra/set-cpufreq: Use powersave with intel_pstate.
    This is what we did on xenial, and apparently powersave is still actually
    better than performance. Thanks to Doug Smythies for the measurements!
    (LP: #1579278)
  * Ubuntu: Move ondemand.service from static to runtime enablement.
    This makes it easier to keep performance, by disabling ondemand.service.
    Side issue in LP: #1579278

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
