[Bug 1530557] Re: Random hard freezes under X on a laptop with Intel BayTrail processor (ASUS R752MA), Ubuntu 15.10
Thomas Moestl, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
To see if this has been addressed in the upstream release, could you
please test the latest drm-intel-nightly via http://kernel.ubuntu.com
/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/ and advise to the results?

Title:
Random hard freezes under X on a laptop with Intel BayTrail processor
(ASUS R752MA), Ubuntu 15.10
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
System freezes hard when working under X, sometimes after minutes,
sometimes after hours. Usually, but not always, graphics-intensive
applications like viewing videos will trigger the hangs after a while,
but they can also (much more rarely) occur when e.g. only an xterm is
opened and being worked in under Unity.
The MagicSysReq keys are not functional any more once the hang has
occurred, there is no information in the logs, and no crash dump can
be obtained by using the soft or nmi watchdogs, panic_on_oops etc.
The BIOS was updated to the latest version available from ASUS:
I have tried the latest mainline kernel build from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D , linux-
image-4.4.0-040400rc7-generic_4.4.0-040400rc7.201512272230_amd64.deb
(4.4-rc7), and the hangs still occur under the same circumstances.
Some research has led me to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 , and I believe
that it describes the exact problem I am experiencing. In particular,
the workaround mentioned in there. adding the intel_idle.max_cstate=1
kernel option, seems to work for me (and my machine is based on the
Intel BayTrail, as mentioned in that report).
(I am writing this report with this option with this enabled now, so
don't be surprised to see it in the kernel command line).
