[Bug 1497520] Re: Slow performance after resuming from/on battery (CPUs do not scale above 800MHz)

 

Daniel Hahler, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from
the very top line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com
/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for
testing, and please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions
are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This
will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Slow performance after resuming from/on battery (CPUs do not scale
  above 800MHz)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have noticed slow performance after resuming from STR on battery.

  I can not trigger this always, but it seems to be related to
  suspending and resuming while on battery.

  The CPU scaling governors look like this then:

  % cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  powersave
  performance
  performance
  performance

  % cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_driver 
  intel_pstate
  intel_pstate
  intel_pstate
  intel_pstate

  % cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
  3200000
  3200000
  3200000
  3200000

  When watching the current CPU frequencies, it can be seen that they
  don't go above 800000 ('watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo').

  I cannot see why they are limited to 800000.

  It looks like https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61241, but
  /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct is at 100.

  Just writing the same setting for cpu0 again fixes it, and all CPUs
  will be scaled above 800MHz again:

  % echo powersave | sudo tee
  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
