Add Linux 4.7.3 #119

Do as Greg says [1]: > All users of the 4.7 kernel series must upgrade. Summary of changes [2][3]: > ### AMDGPU, Intel i915, and Btrfs improvements, many updated drivers ### > > Looking at the changelog, we can notice that Linux kernel 4.7.3 comes > with several improvements to the Btrfs file system, many updated > drivers, in particular for things like AMDGPU, Intel i915, hwmon, I2C, > iiO, IOMMU, MD, PCI, PINCTRL, s390, USB, SCSI, VFIO, Virtio, GPIO, > EDAC, DAX, DMA, ACPI, CLK, and Crypto, as well as some enhancements to > the ARC, ARM64 (AArch64), PA-RISC, and x86 hardware architectures. > > Last but not least, the networking and sound stacks have been improved > as well, with support for new sound devices, as well as various > changes to the mac80211 wireless framework and SunRPC protocol. If > you're using a GNU/Linux distribution powered by a kernel from the > Linux 4.7 series, we recommend that you update to Linux kernel 4.7.3 > as soon as possible. The sources are available for download right now > via our website or from kernel.org. Also, enable frequency scaling. ``` > diff -u /boot/config-4.7.2.mx64.99 /boot/config-4.7.3.mx64.102 --- /boot/config-4.7.2.mx64.99 2016-08-23 10:10:49.000000000 +0200 +++ /boot/config-4.7.3.mx64.102 2016-09-08 19:27:06.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # # Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT. -# Linux/x86 4.7.2 Kernel Configuration +# Linux/x86 4.7.3 Kernel Configuration # CONFIG_64BIT=y CONFIG_X86_64=y @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ CONFIG_INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT=32 CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="" # CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is not set -CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".mx64.99" +CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".mx64.102" CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y CONFIG_HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP=y CONFIG_HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2=y @@ -609,7 +609,40 @@ # # CPU Frequency scaling # -# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is not set +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ATTR_SET=y +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_COMMON=y +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y +# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS is not set +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y +# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_POWERSAVE is not set +# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set +# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND is not set +# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set +# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SCHEDUTIL is not set +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=m +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=m +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=m +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=m +CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SCHEDUTIL=m + +# +# CPU frequency scaling drivers +# +CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE=y +# CONFIG_X86_PCC_CPUFREQ is not set +CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m +CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_CPB=y +CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=m +CONFIG_X86_AMD_FREQ_SENSITIVITY=m +# CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO is not set +# CONFIG_X86_P4_CLOCKMOD is not set + +# +# shared options +# +# CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_LIB is not set # # CPU Idle ``` This addresses the Linux warnings below. ``` Sep 07 16:54:36 keineahnung.molgen.mpg.de kernel: acpi PNP0C0B:04: Failed to set initial power state Sep 07 16:54:36 keineahnung.molgen.mpg.de kernel: acpi PNP0C0B:04: Cannot transition from (unknown) to D3hot Sep 07 16:54:36 keineahnung.molgen.mpg.de kernel: Monitor-Mwait will be used to enter C-1 state Sep 07 16:54:36 keineahnung.molgen.mpg.de kernel: Monitor-Mwait will be used to enter C-2 state Sep 07 16:54:36 keineahnung.molgen.mpg.de kernel: Monitor-Mwait will be used to enter C-3 state Sep 07 16:54:36 keineahnung.molgen.mpg.de kernel: Warning: Processor Platform Limit event detected, but not handled.
