similar to: CPU frequency scaling support

Hi, Does Xen provide support for CPU frequency scaling? If there exists such support, from which version they support it? Otherwise what problems do exist in support frequency scaling in Xen?

Hi, I''ve recently installed xen-3.2.1 on my AMD Sempron(tm) machine. It runs gentoo 2.6.21 as dom0 and cpu frequency scaling works in dom0. But inside a domU, cpu frequency scaling is not working. By checking the boot log in domU I found that domU is unable to load the powernow driver: "powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects" I wonder if it is possible to have

Hi, i read the xenpm wiki page, but i cannot use the "p-states". xenpm shows: xenpm cpu id : 0 total C-states : 2 idle time(ms) : 1776034 C0 : transition [00000000000000000000] residency [00000000000000000000 ms] C1 : transition [00000000000000260278] residency

I thought you were saying it matters - as it should be done around the same time as cpufreq drivers were loaded? .. snip.. >> For a), this would mean some

Hello, I am using Xen 3.2.1 and I cannot boot it on my machine unless I use the noacpi option. As far as I know noacpi option is incompatible with SMP, so I must not use it, because my machine is SMP. I am describing the problem in more detail below. If you could point me in the right direction, I''d greatly appreciate it. I downloaded Xen 3.2.1 official source distribution tarball from

I've been playing and comparing frequency scaling between AMD and Intel CPUs yesterday and there seem to be great differences between AMD and Intel and some gotchas. This is all on CentOS 5.2 with latest Xen kernels (which are supposed to be powersaving-enabled since 5.2). AMD: It seems once I get the AMD CPU to use the ondemand governor it works very well and very efficiently. But this

Hi, This has been a problem since the xen-acpi-processor code was added to the kernel source. I wasn''t sure if the problem I was seeing was related to the old version (4.1.2) of Xen that I was using but now I''m on 4.2.0 and it still exists I thought I would check if I have a misconfiguration or if I have discovered a problem. My system is a dual AMD Opteron(tm) Processor

Hi, i''m not sure if i understood the new acpi xen cpufreq driver - here''s the output when loading xen_acpi_processor module in linux 3.4: dom0 dmesg: [ 32.728151] xen-acpi-processor: (CX): Hypervisor error (-22) for ACPI CPU8 [ 32.728156] xen-acpi-processor: (CX): Hypervisor error (-22) for ACPI CPU9 [ 32.728160] xen-acpi-processor: (CX): Hypervisor error (-22) for

Hi I have a few questions regarding CPU frequency scaling in xen.. 1) Is CPU frequency scaling allowed in xen? especially in xen3.1 ? 2) If no, what are the reasons for not allowing ? 3) If yes, why is it disabled? And how to enable it ? 4) I think there are some patches available for providing this support. Are there any reasons for not including this patches in official release of xen?

Hi all :) I''ve tested this and having a cpufreq that slows down the CPU affects the rate of HTB. My ondemand cpufreq governor scales down the CPU frequency about 40% and this is more or less the slowdown the rate suffers, 40%. Any known way of dealing with this without having to disable cpufreq?

Hi, I am wondering if there is a guideline on how to configure ZFS on a server with Oracle database? We are experiencing some slowness on writes to ZFS filesystem. It take about 530ms to write a 2k data. We are running Solaris 10 u5 127127-11 and the back-end storage is a RAID5 EMC EMX. This is a small database with about 18gb storage allocated. Is there a tunable parameters that we can apply to

Now that I finally got around to update our sources, I had a closer look at those changes, and apart from stylistic issues on the Linux side (part of which I may have asked for, but the result was somewhat overdone so the code is hardly legible now - I''ve got a patch queued to streamline this a little) I find it rather odd (fragile) that the who-is-in-charge information gets propagated

Hello, I have a new laptop (Core duo 2) and I plan to run Xen on it (using Windows in a DomU). The laptop won''t be connected to a power plug all the time. So it would be nice to have the possibility to set the CPU frequency to a lower value to save some power. I only found the patch by Matt Yourst for AMD k8 processors

I am seeing random reboots after installing Xen 3.2.1 (running with linux-2.6.18-8 pulled from a few days ago). So far, the reboots only happen if I have enabled cpufreq=dom0-kernel and actually run frequency scaling (such as with the ondemand governor). The reboots only happen after a few hours. The machines seem to be stable if I pass the cpufreq option to Xen but disable frequency scaling. I

Hi all :) I''ve been using a tc setup for almost two years, but at some point (probably when I switched to kernel 2.6.x, but I''m not sure) it has started making something very weird. For a certain class, the rate is 125000bit and the ceil is 270000bit, but the fastest rate I get is about 75-80000bit, instead of the "promised" 125000, *with no other traffic in

Hi all, I was wondering if cpu frequency scaling in dom0 (using the cpufreq=dom0-kernel boot parameter) may cause problems with HVM domUs? This is on Xen 3.2.1. PV domUs seem to work just fine. They adjust to the frequency change on the go. The HVM I run using the unmodified_driver drivers (also from the 3.2.1 release) seem to have very slow timers if dom0 lowers the frequency. Birger

These two patches provide the neccessary infrastructure changes for the processor-passthru driver [www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg34655.html] to properly function. The first one is quite easy - we just modprobe the processor-passthru driver. The second allows it to work under AMD machines by exposing the PM RDMSR to dom0. It has been tested with 2.6.32 kernel as well to make sure it does

With some progress in PowerManagement support (there's a patch nearly done for reading the P-tables, written mostly by xexaxo, derived from thunderbirds nvclock, with 0x40 adjustments from myself) in my opinion it's time to think about the user aspect of this. My personal idea for GPU scaling was similar to that of CPU scaling in appearance eventually. When you look at the cpufreq-applet
