Problem with Overheating then reboot since Ubuntu 11.10

2012-12-14T09:40:29Z

Kartoch: /* Data */

== Symtoms ==

Since Ubuntu 11.10, my T500 has reduced battery life (around 3 hours with low screen power, 2 hours on normal usage) and reboots when CPU charge is important due to overheating (more than 100°). This is clearly a software bug, as I didn't have this behavior in Ubuntu 11.04. It appears since 11.10 (first ubuntu release with Linux kernel 3.x).

== Trying to find a solution... ==

=== Fan control ===

To set your fan to max:

sudo rmmod thinkpad_acpi
sudo modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
echo "level 127" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

But it is not a problem with fan control. Whatever is the fan speed (disengaged and set manually to full speed with level 127) my thinkpad T500 still reboots after less than one minute of high CPU (I didn't have this problem before Ubuntu 11.10).

=== Temporary fix ===

The temperature does not exceed 75° when my laptop is on battery and so is not rebooting because of the overheating.

=== Devices power saving off ===

Tunables tab of powertop prints a lot of devices with important runtime (no economy energy mode ?):

Bad Enable SATA link power management for /dev/sda
Bad NMI watchdog should be turned off
Bad Power Aware CPU scheduler
Bad VM writeback timeout

=== ASPM ===

Linux 3.X has a bug with ASPM with similar symptoms, but it not activated in my case:

$ dmesg | grep ASPM
[ 0.160380] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it

If I add pcie_aspm=force to kernel, I've the following output:

$ dmesg | grep ASPM
[ 0.000000] PCIe ASPM is forcibly enabled
[ 0.197865] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it

=== Power Aware CPU scheduler ===

Changing cpu policy to powersave does not solve the problem.

=== ACPI OSI ===

Using switch 'acpi_osi=Linux' (as [[http://askubuntu.com/a/75713/8296|described here]]) does not fix the problem.

=== ACPI ===

A kernel bug entry with similar behavior has been fixed: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42858

The patch available http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=132854533918079&w=2 in the comment number 5 of the bug report is already present in latest 12.04 kernel, so this is not the solution.

But strangely the symptoms seem very close, maybe the same bug is present in thinkpad-acpi ?

But it is not a problem with fan control. Whatever is the fan speed (disengaged and set manually to full speed with level 127) my thinkpad T500 still reboots after less than one minute of high CPU (I didn't have this problem before Ubuntu 11.10).

The temperature does not exceed 75° when my laptop is on battery and so is not rebooting because of the overheating.

The patch available http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=132854533918079&w=2 in the comment number 5 of the bug report is already present in latest 12.04 kernel, so this is not the solution.

But strangely the symptoms seem very close, maybe the same bug is present in thinkpad-acpi ?

Problem with Overheating then reboot since Ubuntu 11.10

2012-12-13T10:37:48Z

Kartoch: /* References */

== Symtoms ==

Since Ubuntu 11.10, my T500 has reduced battery life (around 3 hours with low screen power, 2 hours on normal usage) and reboots when CPU charge is important due to overheating (more than 100°). This is clearly a software bug, as I didn't have this behavior in Ubuntu 11.04. It appears since 11.10 (first ubuntu release with Linux kernel 3.x).

sudo rmmod thinkpad_acpi

But strangely the symptoms seem very close, maybe the same bug is present in thinkpad-acpi ?

Problem with Overheating then reboot since Ubuntu 11.10

2012-12-13T10:33:34Z

Kartoch: /* = Power Aware CPU scheduler */

== Symtoms ==

Since Ubuntu 11.10, my T500 has reduced battery life (around 3 hours with low screen power, 2 hours on normal usage) and reboots when CPU charge is important due to overheating (more than 100°). This is clearly a software bug, as I didn't have this behavior in Ubuntu 11.04. It appears since 11.10 (first ubuntu release with Linux kernel 3.x).

== Trying to find a solution... ==

=== Fan control ===

To set your fan to max:

sudo rmmod thinkpad_acpi
sudo modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
echo "level 127" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

But it is not a problem with fan control. Whatever is the fan speed (disengaged and set manually to full speed with level 127) my thinkpad T500 still reboots after less than one minute of high CPU (I didn't have this problem before Ubuntu 11.10).

=== Temporary fix ===

The temperature does not exceed 75° when my laptop is on battery and so is not rebooting because of the overheating.

Basically this is what I'm seeing on my i7 X220 - even though the CPU reaches 97 degrees with full speed fan - it stays in turbo mode no matter what, as verified with powertop. Maybe somebody now more about thinkpad throttling in turbo mode?

@Matthias the patch available in the comment number 5 of the bug report is already present in latest 12.04 kernel, so this is not the solution.

But strangely the symptoms seem very close. I've added a comment in the bug report:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=132854533918079&w=2

Symptoms are high temperature when high usage of CPU, with reboot when more than 100°C (information extract from ACPITZ/1 entry). I found a bug entry in launchpad about wrong fan speed but even if I force the fan to max (see the bug description of the launchpad entry) the computer is still rebooting after one minute of high CPU usage.

But I'm starting to suspect several bugs in my case. My battery has a lifetime of 2 to 3 hours, half of what I had before ubuntu 11.10 (~5 hours). So it maybe related to ASPM bug, but even with recent updates of the kernel I have still the problem. I've tried multiple kernel startup switchs fixup found with ubuntu 11.10 but nothing really changed. Abot ASPM, dmesg returns:

$ dmesg | grep ASPM
[ 0.160288] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it
Maybe I need to try again with 12.04 ?

Two last things: - I cannot open my computer to remove possible dust (computer owned by my company, guaranty yada yada...) - I saw somewhere possible GPU overheating (cannot found the link), anyone has such experience ?

Any hint, clue or proposal welcomes...

=== Turbo mode ===

First, Turbo mode of the processor is always running 25% of the time:

Package | CPU 0
Turbo Mode 24.4% | Turbo Mode 21.7%
2.81 Ghz 1.8% | 2.81 Ghz 1.6%
2.14 Ghz 0.9% | 2.14 Ghz 0.9%
1.60 Ghz 3.3% | 1.60 Ghz 3.3%
800 Mhz 57.5% | 800 Mhz 55.2%
Idle 12.1% | Idle 17.4%

| CPU 1
| Turbo Mode 24.1%
| 2.81 Ghz 1.8%
| 2.14 Ghz 0.9%
| 1.60 Ghz 3.2%
| 800 Mhz 54.5%
| Idle 15.5%

Basically this is what I'm seeing on my i7 X220 - even though the CPU reaches 97 degrees with full speed fan - it stays in turbo mode no matter what, as verified with powertop. Maybe somebody now more about thinkpad throttling in turbo mode?

I've also run 'powertop' and saw several other things:

=== ASPM ===

Linux 3.X has a bug with ASPM with similar symptoms, but it not activated in my case:

$ dmesg | grep ASPM
[ 0.160380] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it

If I add pcie_aspm=force to kernel, I've the following output:

$ dmesg | grep ASPM
[ 0.000000] PCIe ASPM is forcibly enabled
[ 0.197865] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it

=== Power Aware CPU scheduler ==

Changing cpu policy to powersave does not solve the problem.

=== ACPI OSI ===

Using switch 'acpi_osi=Linux' (as [[http://askubuntu.com/a/75713/8296|described here]]) does not fix the problem.

=== ACPI ===

This might be related to this bug report:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42858

@Matthias the patch available in the comment number 5 of the bug report is already present in latest 12.04 kernel, so this is not the solution.

But strangely the symptoms seem very close. I've added a comment in the bug report:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=132854533918079&w=2

Symptoms are high temperature when high usage of CPU, with reboot when more than 100°C (information extract from ACPITZ/1 entry). I found a bug entry in launchpad about wrong fan speed but even if I force the fan to max (see the bug description of the launchpad entry) the computer is still rebooting after one minute of high CPU usage.

But I'm starting to suspect several bugs in my case. My battery has a lifetime of 2 to 3 hours, half of what I had before ubuntu 11.10 (~5 hours). So it maybe related to ASPM bug, but even with recent updates of the kernel I have still the problem. I've tried multiple kernel startup switchs fixup found with ubuntu 11.10 but nothing really changed. Abot ASPM, dmesg returns:

$ dmesg | grep ASPM
[ 0.160288] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it
Maybe I need to try again with 12.04 ?

Two last things: - I cannot open my computer to remove possible dust (computer owned by my company, guaranty yada yada...) - I saw somewhere possible GPU overheating (cannot found the link), anyone has such experience ?

Any hint, clue or proposal welcomes...

== Symtoms ==

Since Ubuntu 11.10, my T500 has reduced battery life (around 3 hours with low screen power) and reboots when charge is important due to overheating (more than 100°).

This is clearly a software bug, as I didn't have this behavior in Ubuntu 11.04. It appears since 11.10 (first ubuntu release with Linux kernel 3.x).

== Trying to find a solution... ==

=== Fan control ===

I'm not sure it's only a problem with fan control. Whatever is the fan speed (disengaged and set manually to full speed with level 127) my PC still reboots after several minutes of high CPU (I didn't have this problem before 11.10)

=== Turbo mode ===

* looking with powertop, I see
* in frequency stats: the turbo mode of both CPU are usually equal to 33% (without no high CPU usage from my applications)
* in device stats: lot of my PCI Device are running at 100%, which seems important

So I think we deal here with several bugs, one about the fan, but also one possibly with ASPM, which seems disabled on my computer:

$ dmesg | grep ASPM
[ 0.160380] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it

Basically this is what I'm seeing on my i7 X220 - even though the CPU reaches 97 degrees with full speed fan - it stays in turbo mode no matter what, as verified with powertop. Maybe somebody now more about thinkpad throttling in turbo mode?

=== Clear the dust ===

Finally, I cannot say about openint the laptop and trying to remove the dust, as the computer belong to my work with guaranty yada yada.

=== Temporary fix (which is not) ===

To set your fan to max:
$ sudo rmmod thinkpad_acpi
$ sudo modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
$ echo "level 127" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

=== Temporary fix (not very good but it works for me) ===

I've discovered one more thing: the temperature does not exceed 75° when my laptop is on battery and so is not rebooting because of the overheating. Still my battery lifetime is not exceeding 2 hours when it was between 4 to 5 hours before ubuntu 11.10.

=== ACPI ===
