Hello,
I have an Intel 6130 and an Intel 5218. These machines have HWP. They are configured to boot with active mode and performance as the power governor. Since the following commit:
commit a365ab6b9dfbaf8fb4fb4cd5d8a4c55dc4fb8b1c (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad) Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Date: Mon Dec 14 21:09:26 2020 +0100
cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement the ->adjust_perf() callback
If I change te mode from active to passive, I have the impression that the machine is no longer able to raise the core frequencies above the minimum. Changing the mode back to active has no effect. This persists if I reboot to another kernel.
Here are some runs that illustrate the problem. I have tested the benchmark many times, and apart from this issue its performance is stable.
