Comment 62 for bug 2026658

No its not new, its a 2022 model, 12 gen has been replaced by 13th gen. Its definitely a software issue introduced in a software update to either thermald or the layer in the kernel it interacts with directly.

(There is the group that makes the Linux hardware drivers for Razer products - I think I mentioned that the issues occur whether those are present or not - that we could loop in. They might understand the power level interaction here?)

It seems to me like a bug where thermald sets a low power target with whatever knobs it has, but then doesn't understand the system has recovered and it needs to reset. What data is it waiting on? Another value from the bios?

Is it possible the "all good" signal came in/is-processed out-of-order? (is this even interrupt driven or does it periodically read values?

Fwiw I would be interested diving into thermal myself, its just not my everyday language. (And I've not done this level of direct hardware work before.)
