--- Comment #7 from Andreas Müller <g...@stapelspeicher.org> 2012-09-06 12:21:02 --- On that different states issue, I just looked that up the acpi-specs 5.0: FADT/P_BLK: "Processor power state support is symmetric when presented via the FADT and P_BLK interfaces; OSPM assumes all processorts in a system support the same power sta tes. If processors have non-symmetric power state support, then the BIOS will ch oose and use the lowest common power states supported by all the processors in t he system through the FADT table." (p. 386) _CST: "With _CST each processor can have its own characteristics independent of other processors. For example processor 0 can support C1, C2 and C3 while processor 1 supports only C1." (p.396) That doesn't seem to be implemented for _CST. However, the initialization is also only done for one cpu, as the update would do with this patch. Each processor has its own correct state-information ((cpuidle_device) but cpuidle (acpi_idle_driver) might not. It doesn't seem to hurt current systems though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
