Comment 81 for bug 1768976

@Davide Sangalli: What you describe and show in your comment #80 is correct and exactly what should happen. Your processor is spending an extraordinary amount of time in C1 as opposed to deeper idle states. At what sampling frequency do you run i7z? I would suggest once every 15 seconds or so, so that you don't wake up CPUs just to ask them status stuff.

Everyone with this problem: If you don't bisect the kernel to isolate the offending commit, as has been asked for a couple of times now, then there will never be any progress for this bug report.
