Well, after countless reboots it seems to be even more simple.
- USB3: preloading xhci-plat-hcd, which already is in the initramfs,
is sufficient to get proper USB3 operation and the r8152 at full speed
as well
- CPU HMP: this one I already knew was linked to the
CONFIG_BL_SWITCHER. On [1] it is mentioned there are both sysfs and
kernel boot options to control this behavior. The sysfs path exists
and with lscpu you can see all 8 cores being put online. The kernel
boot command however turned out to be incorrect, but after some
digging I found you only need "no_bL_switcher" as boot option.
Since the board will be used headless, I also enabled the blinking led
by preloading ledtrig-heartbeat, but this needs to be included in a
/etc/dracut.conf.d/ conf file with 'add_drivers+=" ledtrig-heartbeat
"'. The blinking frequency also gives an indication of the load.
The final boot line now looks like this:
append ro rd.driver.pre=ledtrig-heartbeat,xhci-plat-hcd
root=UUID=your_UUID cpuidle.off=1 no_bL_switcher console=tty1
console=ttySAC2,115200n8
Result:
- systematically correct detection of USB3
- performance improvement by enabling all cpus
- indication whether the system is alive or not
- no need for recompiling kernels, only boot time options and an
optional dracut inclusion
Best regards,
Vince
