Either that, or some application is polling the file at an insane rate. Were you running powertop in the background at this time? Nothing suspicious in your /proc/interrupts -- I assume the 'processor' module was still loaded at the time you took these samples? > I have already compiled a minimal 2.6.31 and a 2.6.32 kernel and the problem > seems to be a regression introduced in the former.

Linux get_maintainer.pl lists these emails for drivers/acpi/processor_core.c: Len Brown <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@xxxxxx> Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx> Alex Chiang <achiang@xxxxxx> linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Yeah, feel free to send an email to all recipients, that's how people usually communicate on LKML) Marti
