https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62551 Bug ID: 62551 Summary: The system freezes for a moment when the CPU scaling is enabled Product: Power Management Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.10.14 Hardware: i386 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: cpufreq Assignee: cpufreq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: zerobertons@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No Doesn't matter which governor I use, the mouse, keyboard, video playback stops for a moment, then it works ok for seconds or minutes, and it happens again. This started to happen with kernel 3.10 and only when the CPU scaling is enabled. It happens on different Linux distribution. Going back to 3.9.x solves the problem. The CPU is AMD Phenom II 955. cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009 Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, please. analyzing CPU 0: driver: acpi-cpufreq CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: 4.0 us. hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.20 GHz available frequency steps: 3.20 GHz, 2.50 GHz, 2.10 GHz, 800 MHz available cpufreq governors: ondemand, userspace current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.20 GHz.
