Which kernel versions are affected?
Comment by Mark (voidzero) - Monday, 06 August 2012, 13:11 GMT
I cannot say for sure but at the very least we're talking about version >= 3.0.

Is 3.5.x also affected?
Comment by Mark (voidzero) - Wednesday, 08 August 2012, 13:51 GMT
Yes, I confirmed this today

Status with 3.6.2?

Looking at intel_idle.c in 3.6.5, the patch has been applied. Not sure when, 3.6.5 is just the source I have right now. I can't test it as I didn't have the problem. Voidzero, can you test this?
