Summary: acpi logs flood by "processor CPU1" events Kernel Version: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5, 2.6.20-gentoo-r4 , 2.6.21-rc5 Status: NEW Severity: normal Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Submitter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: unknown Distribution: gentoo Linux Hardware Environment: i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor Software Environment: gentoo Linux Problem Description: System logs (/var/log/acpi ) floods with messages like 'received event "processor CPU1 00000080 00000004"'. Seems to be coming from CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR Steps to reproduce: (The following messages are form 2.6.19-gentoo-r5, but the same also occurs under 2.6.21-rc5) When I compile the kernel to use CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR: | Prompt: Processor │ Defined at drivers/acpi/Kconfig:141 │ Depends on: !X86_VOYAGER && !X86_VISWS && !IA64_HP_SIM && (IA64 || X8 │ Location: │ -> Power management options (ACPI, APM) │ -> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support │ -> ACPI Support (ACPI [=y] and CPU Frequency scaling (module: speedstep_centrino) system logs (/var/log/acpi ) floods with event messages. Actual Results: [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] received event "processor CPU1 00000080 00000004" [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] notifying client 5512[103:409] [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] notifying client 5785[0:0] [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] executing action "/etc/acpi/default.sh processor CPU1 00000080 00000004" [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] action exited with status 0 [Fri Mar 23 00:22:36 2007] completed event "processor CPU1 00000080 00000004" [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] received event "processor CPU1 00000080 00000004" [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] notifying client 5512[103:409] [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] notifying client 5785[0:0] [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] executing action "/etc/acpi/default.sh processor CPU1 00000080 00000004" [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] action exited with status 0 [Fri Mar 23 00:22:52 2007] completed event "processor CPU1 00000080 00000004" ACPI Processor seems to be needed for speedstep_centrino and CPU frequency scaling to work. Removing ACPI Processor support stops the messages, and brakes speedstep_centrino.
