-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello Don, I was trying to reply you directly but comcast refuses to talk with my email server (they require all mail servers to have a PTR record with a valid reverse DNS entry). But to answer your question. Yes the patch is included in the kernel tree. See also this comment and the code below it in drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c : ... /* ignore_ppc: * -1 -> cpufreq low level drivers not initialized -> _PSS, etc. not called yet * ignore _PPC * 0 -> cpufreq low level drivers initialized -> consider _PPC values * 1 -> ignore _PPC totally -> forced by user through boot param */ static int ignore_ppc = -1; module_param(ignore_ppc, int, 0644); MODULE_PARM_DESC(ignore_ppc, "If the frequency of your machine gets wrongly" \ "limited by BIOS, this should help"); ... which is related to bios_limit. I'm not a developer however and don't understand it ... sorry. Best Regards, I. Petrov On 04/12/2015 02:13 AM, don fisher wrote:

Hello,
For more info regarding the bios_limit setting see here:
http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/commit/?id=e2f74f355e9e2914483db10c05...
Probably the limitation can be ignored with:
echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/ignore_ppc
or with processor.ignore_ppc=1 as kernel parameter at boot time. But I'm not sure about this.

Thanks. Has that patch been included in the kernel tree, or as part of openSuse? Thanks again.
Don
