Title:
AMD Kaveri APU/CPU frequency scaling not working on linux 3.19
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
A few days ago, when Vivid was still at Linux 3.18 I tried the Linux
4.0-rc1 kernel from mainline and noticed that CPU frequency scaling
would have no effect on the actual processor speed. I went back to
3.18 and everything worked fine.
Now Ubuntu 15.04 moved to Linux 3.19 and it happens to have the same
problem as with 4.0-rc1 from mainline.
The cpufreq indicator shows that the frequencies are adapted but
> watch sudo cpupower monitor
reveals that the AMD A10 PRO-7350B CPUs are stuck at the lowest frequency
level (about 1.1GHz).
This observation is confirmed by a quick benchmark using octave.
The following line is executed on Linux 3.18 in less than 4 seconds, while on
Linux 3.19 it needs more than 8 seconds to complete.
> time echo "a=rand(3000);a*a;" | octave -q
