OEMs ha[ve] an ability to program a threshold where a thermal interrupt can be generated. In some systems the offset is 20C+ (Read only value). In recent systems, there is another offset on top of it which can be programmed by OS, once some agent can adjust power limits dynamically. By default this is set to low by the firmware, which I guess the prime motivation of Benjamin to submit the patch." Additionally Srinivas is working on a patch set to optimize the logging of the messages even further as to avoid seeing them during normal operations at all: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191014212101.25719-1-srinivas.pandruvada@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Thermald (1.9, with the right configuration) should address some of the actual throtteling mentioned above, but it will probably not work for all affected laptops.
