Subject: Sony CR21/Z laptop (Latency problems related to ACPI?)
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:18:48 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5612856.clGBGkmtMC@cray-7> (raw)
Hello.
I have been using a cr21/z laptop which probably has
acpi related problems that introduce latency. I noticed
it because a recent update in my Ubuntu precise
makes my system's clock stay behind, and freezes
my laptop when there are no mouse or keyboard actions.
Somehow it looks related to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20172
If I boot my kernel with noapictimer clocksource=jiffies irqpoll
options the system reacts to my actions instantly. It is the first
time that I have exprerience lag free reactions from my system.
Unfortunately there are spikes of 100% CPU usage, due to irq polling I assume,
which makes my system less power efficient.
Is there any case that we can somehow fix this problem?
I am using latest git kernel. The same problem also exists
in current Ubuntu precise 3.2 kernel.
Thank you in advance.
