[05:14] <infinity> mjg59: Hrm.  on-demand requency scaling seems to have broken in the latest kernel for my Pentium-M... In the middle of a nasty compile, sysfs still claims my current frequence is 800MHz (instead of 2GHz), and the compile does seem slow, so I don't think it's being misreported.
[05:15] <mjg59> infinity: Can you force it higher manually?
[05:15] <infinity> How?
[05:15] <mjg59> Echo stuff into sysfs
[05:16] <mjg59> I can't remember which file off-hand, I'm afraid
[05:16] <infinity> (base)root@cthulhu:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq # echo 2000000 > scaling_setspeed
[05:16] <infinity> (base)root@cthulhu:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq # cat scaling_cur_freq
[05:16] <infinity> 800000
[05:16] <mjg59> Interesting
[05:16] <mjg59> What does /proc/cpuinfo say?
[05:17] <infinity> 1995.800 MHz, 3994.36 bogomips.
[05:17] <infinity> But it was lying in the last kernel revision too.
[05:17] <mjg59> Which seems to suggest it's working
[05:17] <mjg59> Oh
[05:17] <mjg59> Hm
[05:17] <mjg59> I've no idea which one to trust here
[05:17] <infinity> (ie: cpuinfo always said I was at full speed, despite the speed going up and down, according to sysfs)
[05:17] <mjg59> But something's plainly broken
[05:19] <infinity> Oh well.  I'll have to bug you about it later.  Bedtime now.
[05:19] <mjg59> Night
[05:44] <zul> heylo
[08:13] <zul> BenC: more crack for you..
[11:22] <ds> BenC: you around?
[11:24] <ds> BenC: I'm willing to do some hacking/testing for #20622 if you have suggestions
