From c4ee841f602e5eef8eab673295c49c5b49d7732b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Brandewie Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 09:32:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] intel_pstate: add sample time scaling The PID assumes that samples are of equal time, which for a deferable timers this is not true when the system goes idle. This causes the PID to take a long time to converge to the min P state and depending on the pattern of the idle load can make the P state appear stuck. The hold-off value of three sample times before using the scaling is to give a grace period for applications that have high performance requirements and spend a lot of time idle, The poster child for this behavior is the ffmpeg benchmark in the Phoronix test suite.
