Re: [Gnewsense-dev] [loongson-dev] System logs for Loongson 3A machine

[Huacai Chen]

Hi,

We design CPUAutoplug for power saving in kernel, CPUAutoplug try to
shutdown some cores if the system load is low. If you want to disable
CPUAutoplug, you can add a kerenl parameter "autoplug=off".

As an alternative, you can disable CPUAutoplug at runtime:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuautoplug/enabled
and then open the offline cores:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/online
while "?" is the id of offline cores.

As another alternative, you can set the min CPU count of CPUAutoplug to 4:
echo 4 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuautoplug/mincpus

Regards,
Huacai
