[05:37] <bullgard4> Where is the kernel thread migration/0 documented?
[05:57] <ohsix> grep for the place it's created and work backwards
[06:08] <bullgard4> ohsix: How can I grep for the place? I do not understand your phrase: "it's created and work backwards" Can you say it in other words, please. 
[06:09] <ohsix> git grep a kernel tree for where the job or kthread is created, figure out what it is for from the context then look for documentation
[06:11] <bullgard4> Ah, now I understand what you said. Thank you.
[09:23] <orated> Hello! I've asked this question in #ubuntu but later realized  this channel may help better. So, please do not consider it cross-post
[09:23] <orated> Hello! I'm running a dual-boot OS with Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7. I noticed that Windows 7 during and after boot doesn't make any fan noise and remains quiet most of the time but only if certain applications are running or video editing or compiling, the fan may start to rev up. The temperature when Windows 7 is operating in idle conditions is ~60C. Now regarding Ubuntu linux, immediately after booting I can see the fan 
[09:23] <orated> running at higher rpm and temperature I noticed is 74C when idle. Can anyone explain me such behavior? If the system is idle in both the cases, then why with one the processor fan rpm is high and for other normal. I don't see any process running in linux with high CPU usage ...
[09:27] <ohsix> are you using a sandybridge or new intel processor? there was a recent fix so they weren't in turbo modes all the time
[09:28] <orated> Yes
[09:29] <ohsix> afaik that fix made it in 11.10, so i dunno
[09:29] <orated> I'm using 11.10
[09:30] <ohsix> yes you mentioned that already
[09:30] <orated> Could you link me to the fix?
[09:32] <ohsix> https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/30/727
[09:33] <ohsix> it should already be in the kernel version you are using, so it might be something else

[09:36] <orated> I'm using Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4
[09:38] <orated> ohsix: Thanks for the link. I could understand to some extent the cause of it but I don't see how can I go ahead what the link says. Can you guide me?
[09:39] <orated> ohsix: It says to initialize the MSR to the "normal" setting during kernel boot ...
[13:08] <bullgard4> I pressed in my Ubuntu 11.10 computer on the »Restart« button.. But I obtained in a text console ~50 Trace messages. The last reads  "<relative timestamp>  panic occurred, switching back to text console". How can I relay a meaningful error report to the developers?
[13:09] <bullgard4> In the middle a line appeared: "Fatal exception in interrupt."
[14:04] <orated> I'm trying to follow - https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/30/727 - as suggested in this channel, to change certain settings during kernel boot. Can I anyone guide me with respect to the link, what exactly I have to change? 
[18:12] <apw> bullgard4, take a picture perhaps and file a bug with that attached
[18:14] <bullgard4> apw: ok.
[19:06] <kostja_osipov> hello. i'm struggling with the latest sony vaio z vpc z21x9r. And it seems I need the latest 3.1 linux for it. On kernel.ubuntu.com I found there is drm-intel branch and several rc* branches. which is a superset of which?
