I am trying to disable de p-state and c-state drivers on my desktop, i did what is described in this topic: Disable CPU frequency scaling
Then i changed the grub-file:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_pstate=disable processor.max_cstate=1 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 idle=poll"
And after this i updated the grub and added governor="performance" in the cpufrequtils file.
Besides, I did all the aforementioned in another computer and they are working(i think), so this is the expected output for cpufreq-info:
PC where the changes took effect
And here is the output i get on this one:
PC where the changes were ignored
In the end it looks like this computer is ignoring the changes i'm doing, any idea why?
Moreover the uname-a displays the following:
In the PC i'm trying to change: Linux oai-test1 4.4.0-31-generic #50~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 01:07:32 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
In the PC the changes took effect: Linux oai-test2 3.19.0-61-lowlatency #69~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 9 10:15:00 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
