[Bug 1535426] Re: CPU runs at high speed after upgrade

 

More powertop. It's clearly misreporting, and I'm fairly sure the
outstanding power must be going into the CPU, as that's the part of the
system that's physically hot to the touch.

Power est.              Usage       Events/s    Category       Description
  4.21 W     15.2%                      Device         Display backlight
  2.32 W    100.0%                      Device         Radio device: thinkpad_acpi
  1.58 W    100.0%                      Device         USB device: usb-device-138a-0017
  523 mW     10.5 pkts/s                Device         Network interface: wlan0 (iwlwifi)
  278 mW     32.9 ms/s      18.4        Process        /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird

Also, this data implies that my backlight has a maximum power of 28
watts, which is false. It's about 5, measured on a nonbroken kernel/bios
/driver-set.

Title:
  CPU runs at high speed after upgrade

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a dist-upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10, moving from kernel 3.19.0-43
  to 4.2.0-23, my laptop CPU runs continuously at 3GHz, and never slows
  down to 800MHz, as it used to. This has reduced my battery life from
  24 hours to 8 hours.
