Weird. In v4.18 I seen times from 57 seconds to 27 seconds to 20
seconds. It seems to be consistent after boot.
v4.14 is fast... 12 second. v4.15 (all-v4.15 branch) -- no
boot. all-v4.16 -- 15.7 seconds. all-v4.18 with "all" config: time
varies (20, 24, 27, 57 seconds). all-v4.18 with "droid4" config: 20
seconds.
What needs to be done to get cpufreq to work? One of my hypothesis is
that cpu is running at wrong rate. I have it enabled in config, but no
luck:
user@devuan:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CPU_FREQ
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ATTR_SET=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_COMMON=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_POWERSAVE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SCHEDUTIL is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SCHEDUTIL is not set
user@devuan:~$ sudo cpufreq-info
