SubjectRescheduling interrupts
Date
Hi;

With Linus's latest git, powertop reports following while system nearly %100
idle;

PowerTOP version 1.9 (C) 2007 Intel Corporation

Cn Avg residency P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running) ( 6,3%) 1,84 Ghz 0,4%
C1 0,0ms ( 0,0%) 1333 Mhz 0,0%
C2 0,1ms ( 0,5%) 1000 Mhz 99,6%
C3 3,7ms (93,2%)


Wakeups-from-idle per second : 306,8 interval: 10,0s
Power usage (5 minute ACPI estimate) : 23,1 W (0,5 hours left)

Top causes for wakeups:
59,9% (238,4) <kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
14,7% ( 58,6) amarokapp : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
5,5% ( 21,9) java : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup)
5,0% ( 19,8) <interrupt> : iwl3945
2,5% ( 10,0) java : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
2,5% ( 10,0) <kernel core> : ehci_work (ehci_watchdog)
2,5% ( 10,0) <interrupt> : extra timer interrupt
1,6% ( 6,4) artsd : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
1,0% ( 4,0) <kernel module> : usb_hcd_poll_rh_status (rh_timer_func)
0,5% ( 2,0) <interrupt> : ohci1394, uhci_hcd:usb4, nvidia
0,5% ( 2,0) <kernel core> : clocksource_check_watchdog
(clocksource_watchdog)
0,5% ( 2,0) kwin : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
0,5% ( 1,9) wpa_supplicant : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
0,3% ( 1,2) kdesktop : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
0,3% ( 1,0) kwrapper : do_nanosleep (hrtimer_wakeup)
0,3% ( 1,0) klipper : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
0,3% ( 1,0) artsd : do_setitimer (it_real_fn)
0,3% ( 1,0) gpg-agent : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
0,3% ( 1,0) X : nv_start_rc_timer (nv_kern_rc_timer)
0,3% ( 1,0) kicker : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
0,1% ( 0,5) iwl3945 : ieee80211_authenticate
(ieee80211_sta_timer)
0,1% ( 0,5) <kernel core> : neigh_table_init_no_netlink
(neigh_periodic_timer)

This "<kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts" causes at least 200 wakeups
(sometimes i see ~400 wakeups) for me and a quick google search yields [1],
but i didn't see this reported to LKML, so here it is :).

If anything else is needed please yell...

Linux is like living in a teepee. No Windows, no Gates and an Apache in house!
