Greg Lutostanski, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To clarify, did this problem not occur in a release prior to Xenial?

[Greg Lutostanski (lutostag)]

Nope, just in xenial. Did not happen in wily.

[Greg Lutostanski (lutostag)]

Also looking at https://lists.launchpad.net/kernel-packages/msg17719.html, my governor is set to powersave. And I can confirm that scaling is actively happening in the background when I see this issue of the sync bytes lost (well at least /proc/cpuinfo shows different MHz before and after I see the sync bytes lost). I will try setting it to performance and see if that helps at all.

[Greg Lutostanski (lutostag)]

Setting governor to performance did not help. Problem also evident with Xenial installation media (kernel 4.4.0.21 I believe). Going to try with Wily installation media to ensure it is not there and it is not a newly found hardware issue (like if I bumped my laptop touchpad cable loose).

[Greg Lutostanski (lutostag)]

Showed up when I tested with Wily, which I know did not previously have the issue. Will consider it a hardware fault. Sorry for the inconvenience.
