I can replicate this on all radeon enabled kernels including current.

It appears than when more than one head is enabled, a separate set of power
profiles is used which attempts to set fire to the graphics card.

I simply edited the second set of power profiles to re-enable low power mode.
It's a nasty hack, but it at least makes my 2011 iMac usable with the radeon
driver.

--- Comment #3 from graham <grhm.perry@gmail.com> ---
The profiles appear to be set in r600_pm_init_profile in r600.c, and it seems
that the power profile is one higher than the single head settings, but the
clock mode steps up the same. That doesn't appear to be the behaviour seen
though, as in multi-head mode on the HD6k the clock mode stays on full all the
time. 

That leads me to think maybe the r600 profile is not suitable for HD6k cards.
That would depend on whether the same behaviour is seen on other cards that use
r600 profile, as it's used for many more families than just Northern Islands
(see radeon_asic.c, radeon_asic btc_asic is used for hd6k series).

Also, why is it necessary to increase the power profile just for an extra head?
I can't actually figure out the logic in some of the power state and clock mode
differences between the card families, are they based on anything other than
guesswork?

--- Comment #4 from graham <grhm.perry@gmail.com> ---
The code on line 510 of r600.c suggests that there is expected to be two power
states for both POWER_STATE_TYPE_BATTERY and POWER_STATE_TYPE_PERFORMANCE,
presumably one for single-head and one for multi-head. Changing the number to 0
(the first instance of the each power state) fixes the bug and allows low power
mode. 

Could it be that there is actually only one power state for the HD6000? And the
function radeon_pm_get_type_index in radeon_pm.c is failing to find the power
state at index 1, and so is returning the default, high power state?

Also, where would I find the list of power states found in radeon_atombios.c?

If anyone with an hd6k can add drm.debug=2 to the kernel options and then post
the result of dmesg | grep "radeon_pm_print_states" it would help. For me it is
showing 4 power states, only 1 of which is 'performance', which the rest being
default. I think there is something wrong in atombios, as there should only be
one default.

Yours would have the mobility flag set, so it would go to the second battery
state (state 4) in multi-head mode. It seems like the wrong setting too.
Stepping up though the clock modes would do nothing. It'd be better to switch
from power state 3, 5 and then 4 when going from low to high, and just leave
the clock mode on 1.

K, using AMD overdrive in windows it seems in single head mode it steps from
100Mhz to 777Mhz and then 900Mhz, but in dual head it idles at 300 Mhz, but
switches back to 775Mhz and 900Mhz for mid and high. It doesn't seem to use 600
Mhz (ps3) at all, but it's a fairly safe bet that it's the idle state for
triple head, eyefinity stuff.

So the order should be;
single-head: ps1/cm0, ps1/cm1, ps1/cm2
dual-head: ps2/cm(any), ps1/cm1, ps1/cm2
triple-head: ps3/cm(any), ps1/cm1, ps1/cm2

Thanks for the power states. Need cayman, caicos and turks still. Hopefully
they are all the same though.

patch for barts and caicos mobility

Tested on barts, not caicos. It's restricted to only the power state profiles
that I have data on so far, and falls back to the r600 profile for everything
else. The mobility profile assumes the laptop will be plugged in when in
multi-monitor mode, and so it puts it in performance mode for mid and high.

I want to sort out dynpm too, but dynpm seems to be a huge WIP at the moment,
as it just disables it completely if there is more than one monitor. With a
single monitor, NI is the same as r600, so it can use the same dynpm.

I don't think that is correct. It can clearly be seen in Windows that Barts
uses different idles for multi head than it does for single head, but uses the
same mid and high. Cayman has a different system to barts too I suspect.

Isn't that dangerous? It makes the card operate outside of the bios table
profiles. You would, in some cases, be increasing the memory clock without
increasing the voltage.

Windows has a very different implementation at the moment, but uses the tables
in a similar manor.

Um, you now seem to be putting mclk and voltage in the high state, while
leaving the engine clock really low. Surely you'll fry the gpu by over-volting
it.

No, it's fine.  You can run with higher voltage, you just have to make sure
it's high enough to support the requested clocks.

With voltage on high for every mode, temperature and power usage will be
exactly the same as high profile, even with engine clocks low. Setting low
profile will just mean you lose all the processing power, yet still have all
the problems associated with high power profile. Seems a bizarre fix to me tbh.

I've gone ahead and re-pushed v2 of the patch.  The lower voltages are are to
support the higher mclks, so there's no need to keep them high.  They only need
to be adjusted up when both clocks are raised.

[Bug 49981] On HD6850, Power Profile doesn't change if 2 screen is attached.

--- Comment #24 from Anthony Waters <awaters1@gmail.com> ---
On a HD6950 this patches causes the GPU to lock up if the GPU is in the low
power profile and the x server is started with multiple monitors attached.  The
x server doesn't crash immediatly, but crashes upon opening anything. I am
unable to SSH in so I cannot obtain a dmesg upon the crash.

Here are more details
1. Start up computer
2. Put gpu into low power profile through `echo low >
/sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile`
3. radeon_pm_info shows something like
default engine clock: 800000 kHz
current engine clock: 249990 kHz
default memory clock: 1250000 kHz
current memory clock: 1250000 kHz
voltage: 900 mV
(as expected because the patch pushesh the memory clock to the maximum with
multiple heads)
4. start the x server and open an application, GPU locks up/crashes and
displays corruption some times

However, if the GPU is set to be in the high power profile it doesn't crash. 
Here are the power tables from the GPU

2. e: 800000 m: 1250000 v: 1175 - no crash

--- Comment #26 from luckylud@free.fr ---
I'm with a radeon 6750m mbp 8.2
It's a TURK chip 
>From Linux >= 3.7 I can't have low power working :
# cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
profile
# cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
low

but  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info :
default engine clock: 600000 kHz
current engine clock: 599970 kHz
default memory clock: 793750 kHz
current memory clock: 793750 kHz
voltage: 1000 mV

I've an external screen connected with HDMI cable, and laptop screen is off.

If the two screens are ON, the GPU and memory power go high, but not with only
one screen (LCD or external) on Linux 3.6.11 :

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
default engine clock: 600000 kHz
current engine clock: 99990 kHz
default memory clock: 793750 kHz
current memory clock: 150000 kHz
voltage: 900 mV

I've tried 3.8rcXXX and 3.9 WIP from here :
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/snapshot/linux-drm-next-3.9-wip.tar.gz

Nothing can turn my radeon card at low power, Linux 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 burn my
laptop ...

No luck for me, the patch "fix multi-head stability" apply on linux
3.9-DRM-next-WIP, doesn't change anything on 6750m, boot with linux efi stub.

Macbook Pro 8,2 Late 2011 with Radeon 6750m like Ludovic Watteaux. 

In order to get the power profile working with the kernel 3.8rc4 I had to
revert the following commits:

"drm/radeon/pm: fix multi-head profile handling on BTC+ (v2)"

"drm/radeon: only adjust default clocks on NI GPUs"
2e3b3b105ab3bb5b6a37198da4f193cd13781d13.

And apply the following:

On my TURKS chip (HD 6750M) the radeon_pm_print_states() output shows that I
should be using POWER_STATE_TYPE_POWERSAVE instead of POWER_STATE_TYPE_BATTERY.

I don't know if this is true for all TURKS chips or what other chips are
affected, but the following patch against 3.9-rc5 fixes power profiles on my
MacBookPro8,2.

Sorry, my previous patch was bogus -- TURKS mobility actually needs
POWER_STATE_TYPE_PERFORMANCE.  radeon_pm_get_type_index() currently fails to
find the requested state (POWER_STATE_TYPE_BATTERY).

Here is a trivial patch against linux-3.8.8:

I have the same overheating problem with a Sony Vaio i5 with ATI Redeon 5400
graphics.
Idle temperature quickly rises to 70oC and then any desktop activity takes the
temperature into the 80's. Running a video fullscreen causes the machine to
shutdown.

Starting with kernel 3.11 you can enable the dynamic power management hardware
on the gpu by booting with radeon.dpm=1 on the kernel command line in grub. 
You will also need the latest smc firmware for your card.
