Subject: sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation - Regression bisected
Hi,
I noticed a regression in the 6.8rc series kernels. Bisecting the kernel pointed to:
# first bad commit: [9c0b4bb7f6303c9c4e2e34984c46f5a86478f84d]
sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation
There was previous bisection and suggestion of reversion,
but I guess it wasn't done in the end. [1]
The regression: reduced maximum CPU frequency is ignored.
Conditions:
CPU frequency scaling driver: intel_cpufreq (a.k.a intel_pstate in passive mode)
CPU frequency scaling governor: schedutil
HWP (HardWare Pstate) control (a.k.a. Intel_speedshift): Enabled
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz
I did not check any other conditions, i.e. HWP disabled or the acpi-cpufreq driver.
Example: A 100% load on CPU 5.
