ASPM PCIe Bug
As noted by Phoronix ASPM PCIe power saving has been problematic and a recent patch by Matthew Garrett has re-worked this to clear the ASPM state on all devices on a successful handoff of PCIe control to the OS.
We therefore are providing patched kernels carrying Matthew's fix for testing purposes only to see how well this works across a broad range of machines. Kernels can be found in:
For power measurement, we currently recommend using the older version of powertop 1.13 as this clearly displays the ACPI estimated power consumption. A .deb for powertop-1 can be found here. We recommend running powertop as follows:
- Boot the machine, start powertop-1
- Wait until you get an ACPI estimated power consumption value.
- Gather 15 measurements (it is updated regularly).
- Discard the first 5 results.
- Take average of the last 10 results.
Testing procedure:
- Ensure laptop is fully charged
- Unplug AC power
- Run powertop-1 on an idle system and note power consumption
- Plug in AC power
- Install the new kernel containing the ASPM fix
- Restart laptop and choose the new kernel
- Ensure laptop is fully charged
- Unplug AC power
- Run powertop-1 on an idle system and note power consumption
- Gather the BIOS version using: sudo dmidecode -t 0 | grep "Version:"
- Add results to the table below:
Please try and keep table in sorted order on the machine name. Thanks!
