Just opened a MP against systemd to make the 'ondemand' service configurable through /etc/default/cpufrequtils file. This change has two purposes : 1) Make 'onedmand' service configurable. It is important for the 'ondemand' service to be configurable because depending on the use case and the

It is normally always preferable to use the intel-pstate driver compared to pcc-cpufreq or acpi-cpufreq on modern Intel hardware. Some HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface [1] which can be disabled by a BIOS setting in which case the PCC driver will not load and the acpi-cpufreq

Based on the analysis in the log, there does not appear to be a bug in systemd - which is behaving as intended, and defaulting to the best available cpufreq governor for low power consumption - but there may be a bug in the kernel resulting in the wrong scaling driver being used on the hardware in

On the previously mentioned HP server today I was able to get closer to reproducing the situation by testing with bionic (4.15.0-47-generic) instead of xenial (4.4) On bionic, unlike xenial, even with the BIOS set to "BIOS controlled dynamic" mode, the intel_pstate driver is loaded instead of

Confirmed that pcc-cpufreq *can* be used in preference to intel_pstate even on a CPU that supports intel_pstate if the firmware tables are setup to request such. One such server is an E5-2630 v3 HP DL360 G9 (shuckle). On the default "dynamic" firmware setting you get driver=pcc-cpufreq +

Something I was not previously aware of that informs this a bit more, is that in some BIOS modes (apparently HP uses this extensively, unsure about Dell and others) you get a "Collaborative Power Control" mode, which sets the scaling_driver to pcc-cpufreq (as opposed to cpufreq) and is some weird

(as context to this information, apparently this particularly bad performance experienced with 'powersave' happens when the BIOS power control is set to the default, and goes away when in the BIOS you set power management to 'os control' - so there is some additional information needed to

Just to add some more detail to this bug; for the impacted deployment we actually ended up re-configuring the power regulator settings via the BIOS to delegate to the OS for control; after a reboot we've just stuck with the default ondemand behaviour and performance has been consistent/better than
