Subject: RE: regression caused by bb6ab52f2bef ("intel_pstate: Do not set
 utilization update hook too early")

Dear Rafael,

I used intel_pstate.

I just tested v4.7-rc3, which should include commit 4578ee7e1def intel_pstate: Avoid
unnecessary synchronize_sched() during initialization, I can still get the same 
wakeups, so it's not sufficient.

Another clue maybe helpful, I found these top2 wakeup/s is consistent, e.g
rcu_sched always gives about 10 wakeups/s, and tick_sched_timer gave
5.6-5.9 wakeups/s, 

            144.3 µs/s      10.0        Process        [rcu_sched]

            193.9 µs/s       5.7        Timer          tick_sched_timer

Thanks,
Jisheng

I mean, it is not sufficient to reduce the number of wakeups again?
