Public bug reported:
I am monitoring my machine using telegraf and collectd, and displaying
the information in Grafana.
In the last week, the CPU temperature is a constant 35°C (average). But
after upgrading to Kernel 4.10 the temperature raises to a constant 40°C
(average). That's quite a significant bump. However, the frequency of
the CPU is not changed, the machine load and CPU utilisation is rather
stable, Disk activity and temperature is also stable, ambient (cabinet)
temperature is also stable. So no apparent reason for this increase. In
addition reverting back to Kernel 4.8 restore a stable 35°C CPU
temperature.
The CPU temperature is monitored using libsensors. Running the command
`sensors` is consistant with what my monitoring stack recorded. Grepping
the /sys pseudo-filesystem for the temperature (e.g.
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/k10temp/0000:00:18.3/hwmon/hwmon3/temp1_input)
returns also consistant temperature.
When I boot to the "older" kernel (e.g. 4.8), the temperature returns to
previous level (i.-e. 35°C).
I have no external means to verify if the CPU temperature is really 35
and 40°C. So I cannot tell if Kernel 4.8 (and 4.4) is simply reporting
the temperature correctly (so the CPU is indeed 35°C) or incorrectly
(the CPU is perhaps 40°C or other values). Same comment for Kernel 4.10.
