Description andreanec 2014-10-08 13:05:48 UTC
I'm using a macbook pro late 2013, and after upgrading to OSX Yosemite Beta 4 I got an important battery life reduction with Linux: my cpu is always at 50-80% of utilization (and top says that is kworker that keeps it active).

I suspect this is due to a firmware update.
After a little investigation I found that the problem could be the gpe66 interrupt.

This is after about 10 seconds from boot:
# cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe66 
22414625   enabled

and the temporal solution (which seems to solve the problem) is to disable it with:
# echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe66

is this a kernel bug or just a firmware problem?
Comment 1 Phil Xiaojun Hu 2014-10-11 08:02:10 UTC
I had the exact same problem.

I'm using a MacBook Pro mid 2014, which shares the same model number as yours. After upgrading to OS X Yosemite DM2, the kworker process throttles one of the cores.

And the gpe66 is the problem.

I tried to revert the kernel back to 3.16.1 but the problem still exists. So it seems to be a firmware problem with Yosemite.
Comment 2 andreanec 2014-10-11 09:23:12 UTC
Yesterday I upgraded to Yosemite beta 5, but the problem still persists.
Comment 3 Zhang Rui 2014-10-13 02:08:18 UTC
please attach the acpidump output.
Comment 4 Lv Zheng 2014-10-17 02:45:09 UTC
Is it a duplicates of this bug?
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53071

It seems we may need to provide a quirk mechanism to disable GPEs.
Please upload both the dmidecode and the acpidump outputs here.

Comment 8 Eugene Cormier 2014-10-18 17:40:28 UTC
I'm seeing this too since my update to the final release of Yosemite yesterday. echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe66 fixes it here too
Comment 9 Steve Gilberd 2014-10-19 03:10:54 UTC
I'm also seeing this since upgrading from Mavericks to the release version of Yosemite.

Macbook A1502 (late 2013 retina 13")
Gentoo kernel 3.14.14

No issues prior to the update. A firmware update for the laptop was bundled with the update.
Comment 10 Imre Kaloz 2014-10-20 08:21:53 UTC
Also affects MacBook Air 6,2 (mid-2013 model) after Yosemite's bundled firmware upgrade. I'm attaching acpidump and dmidecode outputs.

OK.

I'll use the information to generate a quirk mechanism for you.
The quirk mechanism can be implemented using the patches attached here:
https://bugs.acpica.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102
Please wait a while.

Any further acpidump/dmidecode files are welcome so that we can provide a more generic DMI matching entry.

Comment 21 Lv Zheng 2014-10-22 02:07:21 UTC
The quirk patches are ready and tested.
They are generated on top of upstream linux.
So they include 2 pre-requisite non-upstreamed ACPICA release patches.
I'll upload them here after this comment.
You guys can continue to use the MacBooks using these patches.
And I'll continue to investigate if Linux can support the hardware that is sourcing the GPE 66.

The quirk.

After applying these patches, in the boot log, you should be able to see that the GPE 0x66 is forced to be disabled.
If not, the DMI matching entry might be wrong.
Please fix it in this patch according to the dmidecode output on your platform.

Comment 28 Christian 2014-11-07 21:00:52 UTC
I have the exact same issue: the Yosemite update on a Macbook Air 2013 triggers a storm on gpe66.

I also found out that this is somehow related to the i915 driver, because when I boot with

    modprobe.blacklist=i915

the issue does *not* appear. Can anyone else confirm this?

The decompiled GPE 0x66 handler is as follows:
        Method (_L66, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Lxx: Level-Triggered GPE
        {
            If (LAnd (\_SB.PCI0.IGPU.GSSE, LNot (GSMI)))
            {
                \_SB.PCI0.IGPU.GSCI ()
            }
            Else
            {
                Store (0x00, \_SB.PCI0.IGPU.GEFC)
                Store (0x01, SCIS) /* \SCIS */
                Store (0x00, \_SB.PCI0.IGPU.GSSE)
                Store (0x00, \_SB.PCI0.IGPU.SCIE)
            }
        }
It's completely GPU related. So I have no idea what has happened.
The GSMI seems to be some configuration option in the BIOS:
    OperationRegion (GNVS, SystemMemory, 0x8CD3EA90, 0x026D)
    Field (GNVS, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
    {
        GSMI,   8, 
    }
It sounds like something was originally handled by SMI and now is reported through GPE. So I guess there might be chances you could revert back to the original behavior using some BIOS configuration.

If someone could upload an acpidump before the upgrading, we might learn something from the DSDT difference.

Also we received a report from apple.com that there is an GPE issue in the current ACPICA code. Let me also post the fix later. You can also try it.

Unfortunately there is no configuration on Macbooks. The EFI bootloader is able to choose between operating systems, but that's about it.

I posted such a request on the Debian user's list. Hopefully I will get a reply.

For reference, I also received the following reply on the intel-gfx mailing list (where I originally posted my issue as I thought it came from the i915):

I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2014. I'm using kubuntu and kernel version 3.16.0-28-generic and has the gpe66 interrupt keeping the cpu1 active.

If there are any more information that I should give you just tell me.

This GPE seems to be used by the graphics.

In ACPICA, there is an automatic GPE disabling mechanism:
If the level triggered GPE doesn't have _Lxx defined for it, ACPICA will disable it righter after it fires for the first time.
But GPE66 in this bug does have _L66 defined in the ACPICA namespace.
So ACPICA won't disable it.

It seems the _L66 doesn't handle this GPE correctly so it keeps on firing.

From ACPI subsystem's point of view, if we need a disabling quirk mechanism for this GPE in order to make the platform working, then we need the new quirk facility I've implemented it in attachment 154511 [details]/154571/154531.

Currently we are waiting. Because there are many GPE fixes pending.
We need to wait for them to appear in the upstream kernel or we'll have to ask reporters to apply dozens of fixes before applying the fix you need.
Otherwise, even the test results are not so persuasive because of other GPE bugs.

If you want to know what the GPE 66 is, you may file another bug to ask helps from graphics guys.

Thanks and best regards

Comment 40 Rob 2015-02-05 17:36:30 UTC
Hi,

I believe that I am suffering from this bug.  I own a 2014 Macbook Pro, and run XUbuntu 14.04 LTS.  I loved my system until I installed the new Mac OS Yosimite and then reintalled XUbuntu.  Since then my CPU 1 is constantly running.

Since the update to Yosimite my main problem is that the battery life is reduced to less than half charge.  I used to get +7 hours charge, now I get less than 3.  This make my portable computer not very portable.

It appears that there is a solution to the problem.  I'm wondering when we might see these fixes released into the wild?

Cheers,
Rob

We only have a quirk mechanism to achieve so.
The quirk may appear in kernel in 3.23 after all the other GPE dependencies are merged.

This issue really need to be root caused by the firmware developer or graphics developer.

OK. Let me mark it as a firmware bug and close it.
Don't worry about the quirk, I'll take care of discussing it with maintainers.

Comment 48 Fernando 2015-03-15 22:57:55 UTC
Are you all sure the problem is gone? I would say it has "moved":

I have just installed Linux for the first time on a OSX 10.10.2 MacBook (where the problem should be fixed according to your reports) and one CPU is still being used @80% by a kworker thread.

Only that this time the offending IRQ is GPE06 (instead of GPE66).
"echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe06" fixes the problem.

What type of MacBook is it?

AFAICT, it has been confirmed for the 13" MacBook Air (2013), 13" MacBook air (2014), and 11" MacBook Pro (year?)

gpe4E is high on my early 2014 11" MBA, however it doesn't seem to
affect cpu usage for me, so battery life is fine. Disabling this
interrupt does not seem to change anything for me.

I found someone else with the same problem as me (also with the same hardware: MackBook Pro 15, late 2013, hardware version 11,2).

The gpe06 storm is explained here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192856

It might be related to the orginal gpe66 problem.

Update: Apple has just (April 2015) released OSX 10.10.3 but it looks like the ACPI firmware has not been updated as "sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > data" produces the same output before and after the upgrade.

Because of this, gpe06 is still producing an IRQ storm (MBP 11,2 15'' late 2013), causing high CPU usage and thus low battery live.

I'll attach the dump in case someone finds it useful for something.

DSDT dump

Result from executing this:
sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > MB_11.2_10.10.3.dat

...on a Macbook Pro 15'', hardware 11,2 (late 2013) after the upgrade to OSX 10.10.3.

NOTE: The file is identical to the one obtained while in OSX 10.10.2 (before the upgrade)

I'm experiencing same gpe06 issue with rMBP late 2013 and that is not the duplicate of bug #53071 as it's still not fixed on kernel 4.2.2.

This is not a duplicate of bug #53071.

In Linux 4.4 this is an active issue. My computer is a MacbookPro Retina late 2014.

When facing it the CPU goes 100%, not helping power consumption and harming overall performance. Please fix it.

I have filed another bug report about gpe06, fyi #105781.
