It seems like there is a regression of the pstate behavior after suspend in the 4.4 line. After I resume from suspend the max. scaling frequency is locked to 2.0Ghz and after the second resume it is locked to 1.36Ghz and doesn't change on further suspends. It is possible to modify/update the max. scaling frequency more downwards, but not upwards. Writes to the kernel sys-fs fail as well as other tools like "cpupower". Moreover the turbo option is also irreversible disabled after resume. The min. scaling frequency seems to be not affected. I discovered this behavior with 4.4.5-1 running ArchLinux x86_64. CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz The only thing that helped was to downgrade to 4.3.3-3. The behavior is nearly identical to the ones reported: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90421 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61241 Is there any way I could help to trace or debug this behavior?
Hi 1. did you test with 100% cpuload on a single cpu? 2. does this problem still reproduce on latest 4.5? 3. could you plz provide: grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/* grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/* (before and after suspended) thx
Hi, Thanks for your fast reply. I have to use my laptop during the week - will report back at the latest on the weekend.
Hi, I can confirm the similar behaviour on my Lenovo Y50-70 laptop. I have narrowed this down to that 4.4.3 mainline kernel works fine, but 4.4.4 introduces the regression, but I don't have enough time to narrow this further down. Another Ubuntu user reported that the issue was backported to 4.2.0-28 .. 4.2.0-30 (4.2.0-27 worked fine) releases: http://askubuntu.com/questions/745087/cpu-clock-slower-after-each-resume-from-sleep
I forgot to summarize here my findings which I have posted in my comments to the askubuntu question. I have up-to-date ArchLinux x86_64 and I have tested the following kernels: * Mainline 4.4.0 - no regression * Mainline 4.4.1 - no regression * Mainline 4.4.2 - no regression * Mainline 4.4.3 - no regression * Mainline 4.4.4 - regression starts here * Mainline 4.4.5 - regression is still here * Mainline 4.5rc7 - regression is still here * Mainline 4.5.0 - regression is still here My preferred kernel includes Liquorix patches, so the very first time I encountered the regression there, but I have built and checked vanilla kernels to confirm that the issue is not in the custom patches.

Here is how CPU frequency changes on each suspend/resume (copied from the askubuntu question with some extra comments).

Jacek Pawlyta noted (the comment was hard to spot it, actually) that he encountered the regression even with acpi-cpufreq driver while all previous reporters were using intel-pstate driver and assumed that it is related to it. I think, the issue title should be changed since the regression seems not to be limited to Haswell and intel-pstate (Jacek Pawlyta has Core2Duo).
@Vlad: Yes, it is my understanding that this issue is not intel_pstate specific. @greenify: What brand and model is your computer? So far, I have only heard of this issue on Lenovo computers. Other references, in addition to the one Vlad gave: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2316101

I am confirming findings made by Vlad Frolov, Fedora's kernel-4.4.3-300.fc23.x86_64 works fine on my Lenovo G550 with C2Duo T9300 controlled by acpi-cpufreq The first broken Fedora kernel is 4.4.4 as well.
I'd like to confirm that I have the same issue on my Lenovo y5070, with either the intel_pstate or acpi driver. Currently I am running the 4.2.0-34 kernel.
So based on comments this issue has nothing to do intel_pstate as acpi_cpufreq has the same issue. Suspend/Resume can be broken by many kernel drivers. It is possible that each reporter here has different issue. Please do the following steps: - Upload dmesg which include both suspend and resume sequence - Test suspend/resume with kernel command line option to check if the built in drivers and core kernel is causing the issue, test_suspend=mem,10 - Once the resume run turbostat --debug -i 1 --msr=0x199
I'd like to confirm exactly the same issue on my Lenovo y580 laptop. I ran kernel 3.19 generic - no issues. As soon as I started using 4.2.0-34-generic (most recent version in Ubuntu 15.10 right now) the issue popped up. Using the older Kernel is my workaround atm.
I have caught the misbehaving module! It is `thermal`! Doing `rmmod thermal && modprobe thermal` I immediately see the drop in CPU frequency! I'm going to revert the patches made to the `thermal` module in 4.4.4 patchset and recompile the kernel now.
Created attachment 209611 [details] This patch causes the regression Reverting these patches resume/suspend and rmmod/modprobe `thermal` module resolves the regression!
@Vlad: Good work. Please be aware of this thread, from just a hew hours ago, about the same commit. http://marc.info/?t=145816738700001&r=1&w=2

After several suspends I ended up with 580 MHz, even under the minimal limit (800-800 policy, now 800-1860). I can change the policy, but only inside this range; I suppose that it should be limited only by hardware limits ...?
I tried also latest kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5-wily/ uname -a Linux dmatej-lenovo 4.5.0-040500-generic #201603140130 SMP Mon Mar 14 05:32:22 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This is after 3 suspends (after the second one system waked up spontaneously). ... hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.10 GHz available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 1.24 GHz. ...
I use the Lenovo y580 - a fallback to Kernel 4.2.0-19-generic is my current workaround for the problem...
Created attachment 210111 [details] Fix suggested by Zhang Rui I have tested this fix and it works fine for both `rmmod & modprobe thermal` and suspend & resume use-cases.
I have been running the fix on top of 4.4.4 mainline kernel and 4.4.6 kernel with Liquorix patches since the last comment. I have not encountered any problems with the patch at all. When will it land to the mainline?
Patch has been shipped in 4.6-rc1. Bug closed. commit 81ad4276b505e987dd8ebbdf63605f92cd172b52 Author: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Date: Fri Mar 18 10:03:24 2016 +0800 Thermal: Ignore invalid trip points In some cases, platform thermal driver may report invalid trip points, thermal core should not take any action for these trip points. This fixed a regression that bogus trip point starts to screw up thermal control on some Lenovo laptops, after commit bb431ba26c5cd0a17c941ca6c3a195a3a6d5d461 Author: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Date: Fri Oct 30 16:31:47 2015 +0800 Thermal: initialize thermal zone device correctly After thermal zone device registered, as we have not read any temperature before, thus tz->temperature should not be 0, which actually means 0C, and thermal trend is not available. In this case, we need specially handling for the first thermal_zone_device_update(). Both thermal core framework and step_wise governor is enhanced to handle this. And since the step_wise governor is the only one that uses trends, so it's the only thermal governor that needs to be updated.

I have tested and can confirm that 4.6-rc1 works fine! Thank you, Zhang!
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3337U CPU @ 1.80GHz on Linux 4.6.0-1-MANJARO finally seems to work fine. God bless you!
