So far "intel_idle.max_cstate=1" has been working with Ubuntu
4.2.0-23.28 kernel. Uptime is now 2 days 11 hours. I've been playing DVD
from the DVD drive, let it run my OpenGL application while streaming
online video overnights and also used it for normal web browsing.

Title:
  4.2 (linux-generic-lts-wily) kernel hangs on Bay Trail based Asus
  X553MA

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Kernels since 4.2-rc1 contain:

  [8fb55197e64d5988ec57b54e973daeea72c3f2ff] drm/i915: Agressive
  downclocking on Baytrail

  which causes hangs on my Bay Trail based Asus X553MA and likely on other Bay Trail based machines
  as well. The hangs occur between minutes and hours after booting and there is no information found
  related to them in kernel message buffer.

  I found the above commit by doing bisection between 4.1.0 and 4.2-rc1 and reported it to intel-gfx
  mailing list:

  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-
  gfx/2016-January/084203.html

  I tested that these hangs occur with 14.04 LTS using latest linux-generic-lts-wily (4.2.0-23-generic) kernel
  exactly as with any kernel beginning from 4.2-rc1 up to 4.4-rc8.

  I'm now writing this bug report running 4.4-rc8 with patches from the above commit removed because
  4.2.0-23-generic just hanged while I was trying to send report.
