Title:
Frequency in Psafe after an OCC reset cycle while using performance
governor
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Wily:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
== Comment: #0 - Shilpasri G. Bhat <shigb...@in.ibm.com> - 2015-05-08

---Problem Description---
Frequency is not restored on a reset-cycle of OCC which can lead to
performance degradation when using performance-governor. When OCC is reset it
forces the cpu to safe frequency, after OCC becomes active again the frequency
is not restored to max frequency if the governor is performance-governor or to
the last requested frequency for other static governors.
Contact Information = Shilpasri G Bhat / shilpa.b...@linux.vnet.ibm.com
---Steps to Reproduce---
1) select performance governor
2) OCC reset cycle
Fix for this is posted to lkml:

Fyi ... v4 of the patches which were posted at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/13/375
("[PATCH v4 0/6] powernv: cpufreq: Report frequency throttle by OCC")
with the following 6 patches:
cpufreq: powernv: Handle throttling due to Pmax capping at chip level
powerpc/powernv: Add definition of OPAL_MSG_OCC message type
cpufreq: powernv: Register for OCC related opal_message notification
cpufreq: powernv: Call throttle_check() on receiving OCC_THROTTLE
cpufreq: powernv: Report Psafe only if PMSR.psafe_mode_active bit is set
cpufreq: powernv: Restore cpu frequency to policy->cur on unthrottling
.
... is now accepted upstream as follows:
