Subject: [REGRESSION] fan always on with 3.10-rc2
Hi!
With 3.10-rc2 I see fan always or almost always on, even during extended
periods of basically idling around. I did not notice this with 3.9. This is
on an ThinkPad T520 with Intel Sandybridge i5-2520M dual core with
hyperthreading at regularily 2,5 GhZ and Intel graphics (no nvidia).
I am using full hz:
martin@...kaba:~/Linux/Kernel/Mainline/Bugs/fan always on with 3.10.2-rc2> xzgrep NO_HZ config-3.10.0-rc2-tp520.xz
CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y
CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y
And P-State driver (which I used in 3.9 already as well).
Kernel config attached as xz. Use xzless or xzcat to display.
What puzzles is output of powertop, especially:

It seems the kernel is overbusying one core completely, if the output of
powertop is correct. And why is Actual frequencing of CPUs that high?
I saw that kernel tends to overtact quickly. I thought this was due to
getting work done quickly and then let it idle. But the idle stats
seem bogus to, maybe powertop is not up to date with current kernels?
I see no reason for busying one core. This happens when CPU usage is
below 20%. The fan is consistently around 2640 rpm:

But these seem to be regular and I had them before as well.
