From 66a5f6b63996d8aa7cbe8841b38297bf3b338194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 17:41:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: Default to ladder governor on ticking systems The menu governor is currently the default on all systems. However the documentation claims that the ladder governor is preferred on ticking systems. So bump the rating of the ladder governor when NO_HZ is disabled, or when booting with nohz=off. This fixes the first half of kernel BZ #65531. Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65531 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
