Subject: Re: AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 Powers off during kernel build
# uname -r
3.6.0-rc5-u1-smp+
I built a new 3.6-rc5 kernel (3.6.0-rc5-u2) using 3.6.0-rc5-u1 with 8
cores and power off didn't ocur.
slipstream:/usr/src/linux-3.6.0-rc5-u1 # grep POWER .config
# CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_POWERSAVE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=m
CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=m
# CONFIG_PCIEASPM_POWERSAVE is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_POWERMATE=m
CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF=m
CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY=y
# CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_PDA_POWER=m
CONFIG_TEST_POWER=m
CONFIG_POWER_AVS=y
CONFIG_SENSORS_FAM15H_POWER=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_ACPI_POWER=m
CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE=y
CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE is not set
# CONFIG_HID_LCPOWER is not set
CONFIG_DEVFREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_EVENT_POWER_TRACING_DEPRECATED=y
# CONFIG_XZ_DEC_POWERPC is not set
When it was powering off "CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y" was
set.
slipstream:/usr/src/linux-3.6.0-rc5-u1 # grep PERFORMANCE .config
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_PCIEASPM_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_DEVFREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
slipstream:/usr/src/linux-3.6.0-rc5-u1 # grep MCE .config
CONFIG_X86_MCE=y
# CONFIG_X86_MCE_INTEL is not set
CONFIG_X86_MCE_AMD=y
CONFIG_X86_MCE_THRESHOLD=y
# CONFIG_X86_MCE_INJECT is not set
CONFIG_EDAC_DECODE_MCE=y
# CONFIG_EDAC_MCE_INJ is not set
During the build temperature and power was around these values
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fam15h_power-pci-00c4
Adapter: PCI adapter
power1: 133.30 W (crit = 124.77 W)
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +61.9°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +90.0°C, hyst = +87.0°C)
Immediately after the build the values are much lower than what it was
with the kernel and config that caused the power off.
----------------------------------------
fam15h_power-pci-00c4
Adapter: PCI adapter
power1: 31.10 W (crit = 124.77 W)
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +33.2°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +90.0°C, hyst = +87.0°C)
------------------------------------------
If needed I can go back to the earlier 3.6.0-rc5 kernel and config to
recreate the power off situation.
With the kernel that powered off, MCE was not set and
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
For the 3.6.0-rc5-u1 kernel only those 2 were changed.
Regards
Sid.
