From 23de3167679e331f65d9aebdfb07fbf4f2167a4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Brandewie Date: Thu, 8 May 2014 12:57:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] intel_pstate: remove setting P state to MAX on init commit d40a63c45b506b0681918d7c62a15cc9d48c8681 upstream. Setting the P state of the core to max at init time is a hold over from early implementation of intel_pstate where intel_pstate disabled cpufreq and loaded VERY early in the boot sequence. This was to ensure that intel_pstate did not affect boot time. This in not needed now that intel_pstate is a cpufreq driver. Removing this covers the case where a CPU has gone through a manual CPU offline/online cycle and the P state is set to MAX on init and the CPU immediately goes idle. Due to HW coordination the P state request on the idle CPU will drag all cores to MAX P state until the load is reevaluated when to core goes non-idle.
