Hi,

When I run make -j12 (on a kernel tree) all 8 cores are at 100% each.
(Can also be tested with stress -c 8 or any multithreaded program)
After a suspend2ram (using pm-suspend) only one single core is at 100%
and the others are somewhere between 0% and 10% though not 100% like
before.

This bug is reproduceable on at least 3 machines, running on i7-920,
i7-860 and i5-520M.
Tested kernels are 2.6.33-ARCH (config [1]) , 2.6.32.9-ARCH and
2.6.34-rc1-00005-g522dba7 (only be me; config [2]).

/proc/cpuinfo shows 8 cpus before and after suspend.

My own hardware:
CPU: Intel i7-920
Board: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P [3]
RAM: 8GB
Arch: x86_64 (all 3)
Distribution: Archlinux (all 3)

I don't know of any older good kernel, so sadly can't bisect anything.

Thanks for looking into that issue.

Hi,

Here's an interesting issue, apparently Core i5 and i7 have problems after
resume from suspend/standby.

I wonder whom at Intel I should let know about that.

Rafael
