Yes it should be up() and down() for 2.6.15. -- kernel can't scale cpu frequency https://launchpad.net/bugs/36014 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 36014] Re: kernel can't scale cpu frequency

2006-06-17 Thread Constantine Evans
The patch applies cleanly with the changes, but won't compile, since mutex_lock and mutex_unlock aren't defined. After some cursory research, it appears that the functions are called down and up in 2.6.15. Is this correct? I am trying to compile the kernel with the names changed to up and down now.

Thanks for the patch. Probably be a couple of weeks before the next kernel gets uploaded, but this patch will be in there. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ben Collins Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- kernel can't scale cpu frequency https://

Yesterday with the update to 2.6.15-25, i compiled a new kernel with LinuxPHC-patch to ajust the voltages, processor family was 'Pentium M', and now scaling works fine. (patch from http://linux- phc.sourceforge.net/). the default 686 kernel image still has the scaling bug, it does not change cpu s

I've further narrowed this down to the cpufreq_verify_within_limits call inside acpi_processor_ppc_notifier in acpi/processor_perflib.c. I'm not quite sure why the maximum value gets set to the minimum value, but my guess is that for some reason, ppc is getting set to the lowest frequency state ins

I've been working on trying to fix this, and have had some success in tracking down the problem. The problem occurs in the verification steps of __cpufreq_set_policy in cpufreq.c. If one comments out that (from after the memcpy to before the data->min = policy->min), cpufreq works fine. Something
