Ville,

It is great that several workarounds have been discovered.

But it would be better to get a good idea of the root-cause
before permanently ignoring the problem via a new
black-list in the upstream kernel.

Is it possible for you to file a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org
against Product: power-management; component: intel_idle?

In it, please put the following information.

If this is a regression, the oldest kernel that broke.

When booted with intel_idle, and then without:

dmesg | grep idle
grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/*/*
# turbostat --debug sleep 10 2> turbostat.out

# cd /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0
grep . available_clocksource current_clocksource


Other boot options to test:

maxcpus=1
nohpet

intel_idle.max_cstate=3
and if that fails
intel_idle.max_cstate=2
and if that fails
intel_idle.max_cstate=1

thanks,
-Len
