2019-01-02 Thread Kai-Heng Feng
Sorry for the belated response.

In this case, I think kernel parameter "acpi_mask_gpe=0x13" to disable
it is the only workaround.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1087010] Re: kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

2018-05-28 Thread Mio
I dont't believe my laptop has a free fall sensor, didn't ever hear of such a 
thing. How do I check?
It does have ExpressCache though. 
My vague hypothesis is that it has something to do with the ODD but i don't 
understand enough of this for being able to verify any of this without 
instructions.

2018-05-24 Thread Kai-Heng Feng
Does this laptop have a free fall sensor?

Seems like gpe13 tries to notify your SATA controller something. Or
maybe it's related to the ExpressCache?

Scope (_GPE)
{
Method (_L13, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Lxx: Level-Triggered GPE
{
If ((PFLV == FDTP))
{
Return (Zero)
}

GPE3 = Zero
GL08 |= 0x10
Notify (\_SB.PCI0.SAT0, 0x82) // Device-Specific Change
Return (Zero)
}
}

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1087010] Re: kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

2018-05-21 Thread Kai-Heng Feng
Ok I just saw it's a GPE issue. Can you try latest mainline kernel [1]?
There are several GPE/EC fixes.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1087010] Re: kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

2018-05-19 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Mio, if you want an upstream developer to review your problem and submit
a fix patch, you *need* to file a *new* upstream report as previously
advised (not continue to post here on Launchpad). Otherwise your issue
may never be addressed.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1087010] Re: kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

2018-05-19 Thread Mio
I did some more research and found this kernel bug 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53071 which seems to descibe 
exactly this issue. In that thread there is mentioned that a bios update might 
fix the problem. 
Thus I went hunting for an update for my model since the Software Update tool 
from Samsung does not show any updates. Eventually i found this 
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/np700z7c (could not find an 
equivalent on the german site..). At "firmware" there is a download button that 
does work for me but in the HTML code there is a link 
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=US&CttFileID=4986477&CDCttType=FM&ModelType=C&ModelName=NP700Z7C-S01US&VPath=FM/201203/20120305100525911/BIOSUpdate.exe
which leads to a BIOS Update Tool (changing the modelname to my model leads to 
the same download)
lunching this from windows allowed me to update to version P06AAE from P04AAE.

I can confirm that this does NOT solve the issue of the gpe13 interrupt
spamming.

In that kernel bug it is mentioned that the output of dmidecode might be
/ is useful to fix this. Thus I have attached that here too (executed
after the bios update as you can see)

** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #53071

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1087010] Re: kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

2018-05-19 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Mio, please don't change the Description. It is filled with old,
irrelevant, and speculative statements that confuse and hinder
developers resolving the problem.

Despite this, have you reported this upstream as noted in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1087010/comments/73
?

** Description changed:

- I see high cpu usage from a kworker thread. Usually kworker/0:1 or 
kworker/0:2. I tested various kernels from Ubuntu and mainline (3.5.0-x, 3.6.x, 
3.7.0-rcx) and they all showed the same behavior. This does not always happen.
- I wasn't able to determine on which basis it happens. Some observations that 
may as well be wrong (duh!):
- On some boot all is fine but once it shows, no matter how many reboots it 
does not seem to want to go away again.
- The laptop seems to have to rest a while to have a chance that it won't 
happen.
- If it does not happen a reboot will show the behavior.

  kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I see high cpu usage from a kworker thread. Usually kworker/0:1 or 
kworker/0:2. I tested various kernels from Ubuntu and mainline (3.5.0-x, 3.6.x, 
3.7.0-rcx) and they all showed the same behavior. This does not always happen.
  I wasn't able to determine on which basis it happens. Some observations that 
may as well be wrong (duh!):
  On some boot all is fine but once it shows, no matter how many reboots it 
does not seem to want to go away again.
  The laptop seems to have to rest a while to have a chance that it won't 
happen.
  If it does not happen a reboot will show the behavior.

  I saw similar bug reports in various places but it seems that this can
  have a multitude of causes and the presented workarounds or fixes did
  not apply to me.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1087010] Re: kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

2014-10-04 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Pablo Almeida, making "Me too!" comments is just simply unhelpful. However, so 
your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report 
with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the 
default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:
Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue
Ubuntu Kernel Team: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports
Ubuntu Community: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette

When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

As well, please do not announce in this report you created a new bug
report.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I see high cpu usage from a kworker thread. Usually kworker/0:1 or 
kworker/0:2. I tested various kernels from Ubuntu and mainline (3.5.0-x, 3.6.x, 
3.7.0-rcx) and they all showed the same behavior. This does not always happen.
  I wasn't able to determine on which basis it happens. Some observations that 
may as well be wrong (duh!):
  On some boot all is fine but once it shows, no matter how many reboots it 
does not seem to want to go away again.
  The laptop seems to have to rest a while to have a chance that it won't 
happen.
  If it does not happen a reboot will show the behavior.

  I saw similar bug reports in various places but it seems that this can
  have a multitude of causes and the presented workarounds or fixes did
  not apply to me.

Title:
  kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I see high cpu usage from a kworker thread. Usually kworker/0:1 or 
kworker/0:2. I tested various kernels from Ubuntu and mainline (3.5.0-x, 3.6.x, 
3.7.0-rcx) and they all showed the same behavior. This does not always happen.
  I wasn't able to determine on which basis it happens. Some observations that 
may as well be wrong (duh!):
  On some boot all is fine but once it shows, no matter how many reboots it 
does not seem to want to go away again.
  The laptop seems to have to rest a while to have a chance that it won't 
happen.
  If it does not happen a reboot will show the behavior.

  I saw similar bug reports in various places but it seems that this can
  have a multitude of causes and the presented workarounds or fixes did
  not apply to me.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1087010] Re: kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

2013-08-18 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Mio, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux 

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional 
upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, 
but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, 
please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is 
fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 887793
