Intel CPUs will not enter higher p-states when after switching from the
performance governor to the powersave governor, until
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct is set to a low value.
This differs from previous behaviour in which a switch to the powersave
governor would result in a low default value for min_perf_pct.
The behavior of the powersave governor changed after commit a04759924e25
("[cpufreq] intel_pstate: honor user space min_perf_pct override on
resume"). The commit introduced tracking of performance percentage
changes via sysfs in order to restore userspace changes during
suspend/resume. The problem occurs because the global values of the newly
introduced max_sysfs_pct and min_sysfs_pct are not reset on a governor
change and this causes the new governor to inherit the previous governor's
settings.
This patch sets max_sysfs_pct to 100 and min_sysfs_pct to 0 on a governor
change which fixes the problem with governor switching. These changes
also make the initial calculations for max_perf_pct and min_perf_pct
slightly simpler.
Before patch:
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cpupower frequency-set -g performance
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
100
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
100
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cpupower frequency-set -g powersave
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
100
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
100
After patch:
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cpupower frequency-set -g performance
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
100
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
100
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cpupower frequency-set -g powersave
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
14
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
100
Also note that I have tested suspend/resume (using CONFIG_PM_DEBUG):
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/*_perf_pct
100
50
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# echo platform > /sys/power/disk
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# echo disk > /sys/power/state
[root@intel-skylake-y-01 power]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/*_perf_pct
100
50
