AW: RE: RE: [Xen-devel] No C-States any longer...

["Carsten Schiers" <carsten@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Through some adding of printk I was able at least to verify that for my 
3 core CPU AMD Athlon X3 400e

  - xen_px_notifier is called six times
  - Hypervisor is reporting XEN_PM_PX is called six times
  - Hypervisor is never reporting XEN_PM_CX to have been called
  - this is because xen_cx_notifier is never called.
  -> set_cx_pminfo is never called.

What I will try to find out next is to check where xen_cx_notifier 
*should* be called. OS debugging is 
not realy my expertise, let's see whether you first can give me a hint 
or whether I am quicker to find 
it on my own.

Carsten.

Then possibly some patches get lost in your current env...

You can have a try though I don't think that gives much hint because
basic ACPI logic doesn't change in Dom0. The more interesting thing is
about the gear logic between dom0 and Xen. Does the dom0 notify
Xen on earth? Is there some condition making Xen reject the call? ...

Thanks
