[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1763144] Re: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows
A recent update of thermald 1.9.1-1ubuntu0.5 in focal contains many of the upstream thermald patches that have been backported to support more modern laptops. The Intel fixes included are as follows: - Disable legacy rapl cdev when rapl-mmio is in use This will prevent PL1/PL2 power limit from MSR based rapl, which may not be the correct one. - Delete all trips from zones before psvt install Initially zones has all the trips from sysfs, which may have wrong settings. Instead of deleting only for matched psvt zones, delete or all zones. In this way only zones which are in PSVT will be present. - Check for alternate names for B0D4 device B0D4 can be named as TCPU or B0D4. So search for both names if failed to find one. - Fix error for condition names The current code caps the max name as the last condition name, which is "Power_Slider". So any condition more than 56 will be printing error, with "Power_Slider" as condition name. For example for condition = 57: Unsupported condition 57 (Power_slider) - Set a very high RAPL MSR PL1 with --adaptive After upgrading Dell Latitude 5420, again noticed performance degradation. The PPCC power limit for MSR RAPL PL1 is reduced to 15W. Even though we disable MSR RAPL with --adaptive option, it is not getting disabled. So MSR RAPL limits still playing role. To fix that set a very high MSR RAPL PL1 limit so that it never causes throttling. All throttling with --adaptive option is done using RAPL-MMIO. - Special case for default PSVT When there are no adaptive tables and only one default PSVT table is present with just one entry with MAX type. Add one additional entry as done for non default case. - Increase power limit for disabled RAPL-MMIO Increase 100W to 200W as some desktop platform already have limit more than 100W. - Use Adaptive PPCC limits for RAPL MMIO Set the correct device name as RAPL-MSR so that RAPL-MMIO can also set the correct default power limits. Can folk check if this helps with the issue? ** Changed in: thermald (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: thermald (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Ian King (colin-king) ** Changed in: thermald (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to thermald in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763144 Title: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in thermald package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: A ThinkPad T480s under windows has a power limit of 44W, both short and long term, with a thermal maximum of about 93C or so.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1763144] Re: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows
The described behavior with CPU thermal throtteling was confirmed by Lenovo. The limits are higher as in Windows "DPTF" works by driver support and enables the "desk mode". In Linux the "desk mode" is never reached due to the lack of sensor information and the system operates in the "lap mode" which has much lower trip temp. See forum threat there: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Other-Linux-Discussions/X1C6-T480s-low- cTDP-and-trip-temperature-in-Linux/td-p/4028489 The patches are not published yet for all platforms. But as T480s, many other models e.g. X1C6 are affected too.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1763144] Re: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows
I think, we have a problem here, that needs to be solved on multiple issues. * there's throttling hitting in to avoid a dGPU reach its fall-off limit which is 76° (T580, i7-8550u, MX150). The only possible way to stay below this thermal limit is to power down the CPU massively, which leads to => * the dGPU isn't throttling down itself enough. In tests (glxsphere) my findings are: dGPU runs at about 1600-1700Mhz, not going down further. I guess this is a result of the gpu itself has a thermal limit of around 95° and gpu's own throttling will kick in much later than 76°, making the gpu not helping in cooling down with slowing down more. I wasn't able to get a reading of the power consumed by gpu, nvidia-smi does not offer these (nvidia-396). Thus leading to => * There's an imbalance between gpu's and cpu's abilities to thermal adapt. As gpu isn't able to, cpu is and does which leads to => a) a system running on brakes to manage heat, for to stay below a poosible gpu fall-off (full gpu power and frequency stable along time with cpu going down to only 3-5W or b) a system running at the possible performance with using the cpu's full potential, but only being able to use ⅓ of dGPU's capacities Conclusion from my perspective: There's a need to balance :-) * there's a need to have influence on gpu's abilities to throttle earlier (=> nvidia) * Lenovo-fix being enhanced to provide some kind of profiles, which are dynamically providing usecase profiles (easiest way to test is: set temp in Lenovo-fix to max 75°. As both, cpu & dGPU producing heat and 76° is fall-off, staying below that keeps system from throttling.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763144 Title: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A ThinkPad T480s under windows has a power limit of 44W, both short and long term, with a thermal maximum of about 93C or so.

Quoted from Lenovo's feedback: " Due to "DPTF" function will act on Windows system by BIOS/Driver support, the system will turn to cool mode when keep high temperature several minutes. But Linux system didn't have driver support DPTF function, it only have TDP limit on platform. So user should have different between Windows and Linux system as normal behavior. " And my test result: 1, When stress testing on Win10, CPU temperature reaches 98C and 3.2G. But this status can't keep more than several mins, it is too hot for CPU. So the CPU tried to maintain a 1.1G freq to cool itself. Then the temperature and freq will go into a loop like 98C/3.2G -> 80C/1.1G -> 98C/3.2G. 2, On Ubuntu 16.04 CPU keeps 80C/2.7G when stressing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763144 Title: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A ThinkPad T480s under windows has a power limit of 44W, both short and long term, with a thermal maximum of about 93C or so.

Sure, it's not designed for 44W by Intel. I only measured 27W maximum when configured to 44W. It's just that the laptop is likely configured for an overall thermal limit of 44W because it can house a MX150 with the same cooling system (dual heat pipe). In any case, on Windows it is not bound by 15W long term, but runs higher, averaging at about 30W from what I read. The thermal point I wrote the same I think. On Linux the offset is 20, on Windows it seems higher, as it reaches 90C and more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763144 Title: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A ThinkPad T480s under windows has a power limit of 44W, both short and long term, with a thermal maximum of about 93C or so.

Hi, TDP Intel U CPU family is defined as 25w. Please refer to: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/i5-processors/i5-8250u.html CPU is not meant to go to 44W that is far away as Intel designed. To allow the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-based systems, the component temperature specification is the applicable Tjmax which defined in MSR 0x1a2h[23:16]; Tj MAX is factory calibrated and is not user configurable. TCC Activation Offset is set in TEMPERATURE_TARGET (0x1A2) MSR,bits [29:24]; the offset value will be subtracted from the value TjMAX. Please try it if you like overclock. When temperature is retrieved by the processor MSR, it is the instantaneous temperature of the given DTS. thermal interrupt in Linux depends on reading MSR to warn the system like: temperature above threshold Then EC will make CPU be full speed to cool down system, when CPU temperature is stable like 80C, CPU can work at the defined freq. This is designed to make system reliable to work at the standard performance no matter with OS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763144 Title: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A ThinkPad T480s under windows has a power limit of 44W, both short and long term, with a thermal maximum of about 93C or so.

Note that the thermal limit seems to be rewritten by the EC at random times. The person originally discovering the issue wrote a userspace daemon to write the proper stuff in memory from time to time - https://github.com/erpalma/lenovo-throttling-fix - but this should best get fixed in the kernel (unless it's a bug in the BIOS/EC firmware, then it's out of our hands). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763144 Title: Significantly lower power and thermal limits on ThinkPad T480s (and probably others) than on Windows Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: A ThinkPad T480s under windows has a power limit of 44W, both short and long term, with a thermal maximum of about 93C or so.

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.16 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.
