Revision 64897b20eed29cee2b998fb5ba362e65523dba3c authored by Rafael J. Wysocki on 21 March 2017, 21:19:07 UTC, committed by Rafael J. Wysocki on 21 March 2017, 21:19:07 UTC
The policy->cpuinfo.max_freq and policy->max updates in intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() are excessive as they are done for no good reason and may lead to problems in principle, so they should be dropped. However, after dropping them intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() becomes almost entirely pointless, because the check made by it is made again down the road in intel_pstate_prepare_request(). The only thing in it that still needs to be done is the call to update_turbo_state(), so drop intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() altogether and make its callers invoke update_turbo_state() directly instead of it. In addition to that, fix intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() so that it checks global.no_turbo in addition to global.turbo_disabled when updating policy->cpuinfo.max_freq to make it consistent with intel_pstate_verify_policy(). Fixes: 001c76f05b01 (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Generic governors support) Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

# Timer Interrupt Frequency Configuration

choice
prompt "Timer frequency"
default HZ_250
help
Allows the configuration of the timer frequency. It is customary
to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 Hz but 100 Hz may be more
beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have
a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus
contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts.
Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP
environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts
per second.
config HZ_100
bool "100 HZ"
help
100 Hz is a typical choice for servers, SMP and NUMA systems
with lots of processors that may show reduced performance if
too many timer interrupts are occurring.
config HZ_250
bool "250 HZ"
help
250 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
on SMP and NUMA systems. If you are going to be using NTSC video
or multimedia, selected 300Hz instead.
config HZ_300
bool "300 HZ"
help
300 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
on SMP and NUMA systems and exactly dividing by both PAL and
NTSC frame rates for video and multimedia work.
config HZ_1000
bool "1000 HZ"
help
1000 Hz is the preferred choice for desktop systems and other
systems requiring fast interactive responses to events.
