Public bug reported: CPU0 (and sometimes other cores too) is not entering C10 half of the time when system is idle. "top" shows a touchpad driver takes 5%~6% of CPU usage, and "/proc/interrupts" reveals considerable interrupts from the touchpad device. This results in additional 4~5 watt power consumption.
This anomaly can be workarounded by simply touching the touchpad - in other words, it is more visible when using a USB mouse. This can be fixed by a kernel 5.5 commit 52cf93e63ee6 which is included in bionic (4.15) and focal kernel (5.4) but not in eoan (5.3). ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864527 Title: CPU0 is busy after S3 in Dell Precision 3530 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: CPU0 (and sometimes other cores too) is not entering C10 half of the time when system is idle.
