[qubes-devel] Intel Speedstep support?

2018-03-23 Thread Elias Mårtenson
(tested on a Dell Latitude E7470)

If I enable Intel Speedstep in the BIOS settings and boot the machine without 
power plugged in, the CPU is incredibly slow (as in: It takes minutes to start 
a VM). If I boot the computer with power plugged in, the machine is as fast as 
I expect it to be.

Disabling Speedstep makes this problem go away. I'm guessing this is caused by 
the Speedstep drivers are not loaded in dom0, preventing the system from 
increasing the CPU speed (which is set to the slowest possible when booting on 
battery).

There doesn't seem to be any packages that contain the Speedstep drivers. Is 
there a way to get this to work?

I just had the bug again, and this time I decided to restart qubes.qmemman and 
sure enough, that seemed to have fixed the problem.

Clearly this issue is still around, but does anyone else see this?
