From 370d5cd88509b93b76eb2f5f97efbd71c25061cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:25:39 -0800 Subject: ACPI: fix High cpu temperature with 2.6.32 Since the rewrite of the CPU idle governor in 2.6.32, two laptops have surfaced where the BIOS advertises a C2 power state, but for some reason this state is not functioning (as verified in both cases by powertop before the patch in .32). The old governor had the accidental behavior that if a non-working state was chosen too many times, it would end up falling back to C1. The new governor works differently and this accidental behavior is no longer there; the result is a high temperature on these two machines. This patch adds these 2 machines to the DMI table for C state anomalies; by just not using C2 both these machines are better off (the TSC can be used instead of the pm timer, giving a performance boost for example).

Only mwait based C1 was using the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU. This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based deep C-state. The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based deep C-states are being used).
