Hi Hanno, So, it is most probable that an external general purpose event (GPE) on a pin is causing an ACPI interrupt that services these specific events. Your firmware contains some ACPI AML code that the kernel ACPI driver executes every time that event gets serviced and this AML code performs some sleeps (probably to wait for some hardware to get it's job done) before it services the hardware device associated with that GPE.
As it stands, the machine is idle during those ACPI Sleep() calls (as mentioned by Seth earlier), so your CPU is actually idle and the load average stats are misleading. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472293 Title: load >= 1 while idle for no obvious reason with ACPI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1472293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
