My laptop is very slow at current kernels. The frequency stucks at 800 MHz.
Latest kernel which is ok is 4.1.x (4.2 has a backlight problem).

acpi=noirq solves the problem but adds other problems...

Do you get the same result with simply "noapic"?

In both cases, powernow_k8 seems to load and print the same messages.

In the working and non-working cases, what do you see with

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/*

What is the latest working kernel, and what is the first failing kernel?
Can you git-bisect to what commit caused this to break?

I think the regression was made in 4.2.x or 4.3.x (4.2.x kernels have a
backlight issue on my laptop, so I use 4.1.x)

what do you mean by backlight issue?
If the platform is still alive, please run git-bisect to find out which commit 
introduces the problem.

[WSmart]

Thanks for all the work everyone put into developing this, Vladimir in
particular.   The acpi=noirq work around is working here.   I wanted to
add, along with the scaling and the reboot fail issues, I also was not
able to run ubiquity.  The installer would crash giving me
freedesktop.org errors.   I installed xfce4-power-manger to the live
environment and was able to use ubiquity and install the system from
there, booting to the 800mhz scaling limit.

Thanks all.

I didn't try to send the patches upstream. I was hoping that someone who
already knows how to do that would pick it up.

I just searched the kernel bug database for this issue and found
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189291 . In comment #9, cthx
posted a link to this bug on 9 Dec, i.e. after I have already posted the
bisect results and patches. I guess people don't bother following links,
I'll have to post there directly.

Thank you for providing a patch, and making Ubuntu better.

Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards
to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of
feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem
maintainer's tree, etc?

with the configuration /boot/config-4.9.0-040900rc8-generic on my laptop
without upgrading the compiler:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.9 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

The revert of the offending commit does not apply cleanly to the

patch:

I tried this and it works. Another option is this smaller patch:

 }

which essentially keeps the raw_spin_lock_irq()/raw_spin_unlock_irq()
rather than raw_spin_lock_irqsave()/raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() used by
__irq_set_affinity() in kernel/irq/manage.c .

I tested both patches on top of Ubuntu-4.4.0-47.68 and they work.
They also apply cleanly to Ubuntu-4.2.0-42.49 but I didn't actually check that 
it builds/works.

I tried manually inlining the irq_set_affinity_locked() (which required
further inlining of some helper functions and providing a declaration of
irq_do_set_affinity()) and it still worked. However, forcing the "if
(irq_can_move_pcntxt())" path that immediately performs
"chip->irq_set_affinity(idata, mask, false)" exposes the bug.

This confirms what I expected after reading
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/392 . Basically, when the hardware says
that you cannot do something right away, you really cannot. And the
offending commit just ignores this.

[Vladimir Marko]

3b806e2b94cad37a8809df7c86f7cfdcd3baa719 is the first bad commit
commit 3b806e2b94cad37a8809df7c86f7cfdcd3baa719
Author: Thomas Gleixner 
Date:   Mon Sep 14 12:00:55 2015 +0200

x86/ioapic: Force affinity setting in setup_ioapic_dest()

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509886

commit 4857c91f0d195f05908fff296ba1ec5fca87066c upstream.

The recent ioapic cleanups changed the affinity setting in
setup_ioapic_dest() from a direct write to the hardware to the delayed
affinity setup via irq_set_affinity().

That results in a warning from chained_irq_exit():
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5 at kernel/irq/migration.c:32 irq_move_masked_irq
[] irq_move_masked_irq+0xb8/0xc0
[] ioapic_ack_level+0x111/0x130
[] intel_gpio_irq_handler+0x148/0x1c0

The reason is that irq_set_affinity() does not write directly to the
hardware. It marks the affinity setting as pending and executes it
from the next interrupt. The chained handler infrastructure does not
take the irq descriptor lock for performance reasons because such a
chained interrupt is not visible to any interfaces. So the delayed
affinity setting triggers the warning in irq_move_masked_irq().

Restore the old behaviour by calling the set_affinity function of the
ioapic chip in setup_ioapic_dest(). This is safe as none of the
interrupts can be on the fly at this point.

related interfaces'

[Bug 1598312] Re: Cannot scale AMD Turion CPU frequency. It runs on lowest 800MHz

[Vladimir Marko]

The workaround makes networking very unstable (both WiFi and wired).

4.2.0-18 is OK.
4.2.0-19 is BROKEN.

No suspicious configuration changes:

$ diff /boot/config-4.2.0-18-generic /boot/config-4.2.0-19-generic 
3c3

I'll get the ubuntu kernel source and try to bisect.

[Bug 1598312] Re: Cannot scale AMD Turion CPU frequency. It runs on lowest 800MHz

[Dariusz Nawrocki]

Vladimir, your solution works for me too. :)

I have F.07 BIOS already. Setting acpi=noirq enables the possibilities
to scale CPU processor frequency again on newest kernel on my notebook.

However it is workaround not the final solution. It is nice to have well
working kernel out of the box without any quirks. So this is an appeal
for Ubuntu kernel guys to address the problem.

Thanks Vladimir.

Upgrading the nx6325 BIOS from F.04 to F.07 did not help, the workaround
is still necessary.

Permanently adding kernel parameters to grub config is described at
http://askubuntu.com/questions/19486/how-do-i-add-a-kernel-boot-parameter
(But it's all or nothing, so you cannot add the parameter only to one of two 
dual-booting Linuxes.)

[Bug 1598312] Re: Cannot scale AMD Turion CPU frequency. It runs on lowest 800MHz

[Vladimir Marko]

Trying the different kernel parameters suggested at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI I've got these results:

acpi=off: kernel panic (something too do with PCI)
acpi=ht: no change
pci=noacpi: kernel panic (something too do with PCI)
acpi=noirq: WORKS

So this is a bug in ACPI IRQ routing. Recommended workaround is acpi=noirq.
(Now how to configure grub to add that kernel parameter when doing update-grub?)

[Bug 1598312] Re: Cannot scale AMD Turion CPU frequency. It runs on lowest 800MHz

[Vladimir Marko]

Same on HP Compaq nx6325 with AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology
TL-52, including the fan running at full speed. But given the the
thermal trip points, I think the CPU frequency scaling works as
intended.

When idle, with the old kernel I see

$ uname -r
3.13.0-101-generic
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 
42000
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_*_temp 
105000
95000
75000
65000
55000
4

but with the new kernel it is

$ uname -r
4.4.0-47-generic
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
32000
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_*_temp
105000
15900
15900
15900
15900
15900

So it's essentially trying to keep the CPU from overheating.

Additionally, shutting down the laptop does not work, it gets the laptop
to some weird power state where it looks like powered down but it won't
boot after turning back on. Then I have to long-press the power button
to shut down properly. Reboot just gets stuck. If I understand
correctly, this is all related to ACPI, so I guess I should learn how to
debug ACPI issues.

Same Problem:

Additional the fan is turning at max speed.

[Bug 1598312] Re: Cannot scale AMD Turion CPU frequency. It runs on lowest 800MHz

[Christian Gronister]

Same issue here on a HP Compaq 6715s (TL-59) Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" 
(kernel 4.4.0-34). 14.04 - 14.04.3 was working fine (3.13, 3.16, 3.19 kernels). 
Upgrade to 14.04.4 initially caused the issue so I rolled back to 3.19 few 
months back. 
Now I thought to give a fresh install of 16.04 a try. Did not work, i.e. 
precisely the same issue as in 14.04.4 and as described by Darek in #1598312.
