Public bug reported:
I upgraded an install of 14.0.4.3 to the LST Enablement Stack for Vivid
(kernel 3.19) that is running on a Xeon E5-1630 V3 (a Haswell Quad-Core)
. Booting with 3.19 would result in the system being very sluggish.
'cpupower frequency-info' would report that the CPU was running at
around 400mhz, as would 'cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq'. The CPUs would
remain around 400mhz regardless of load.
This was using the intel_pstate driver and the powersave governor.
Switching to the performance governor had no effect. Using the acpi-
cpufreq driver also had no effect, the system was still sluggish even
though the reported frequencies in /sys/devices/.
Eventually I tracked it down to the original install having had the
intel_microcode package installed at some point. Once I removed this
then the CPU frequencies scaled correctly with load. FYI the particular
version installed was intel-microcode/trusty-updates,now
2.20140624-t-1ubuntu2 amd64.
