dmesg output
this is my dmesg output
it isnt' clear that 1. there is a problem in 2.6.21 2. 2.6.21 is any different than 2.6.20 C0 is the active state -- we don't track residency for that here. C1, C2, C3 etc are cpu idle states where no instructions are executed. It is a known cosmetic bug that we don't put in counts for C1 that we will not fix. Throttling is controlled by the termal sub-system, so yes, if you ask to throttle, it might over-ride your choice. Please re-open if something is wrong that i missed. |
