Pretty much the title. I know this isn't Gentoo specific, but I'd like to seek help from you guys.

I have broken acpi tables, which everyone says to ignore, but for a long time I'm experiencing some interrupts to hog one of cpu's to 100% and by googling I found people recommeding to disable 'gpe' interrupts, which for some reason I can't disable any of them(tried them all).

Code:
 echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe35
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument


output of grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/

Code:

satanail,

I can't say that know this topic very well, but it looks to me that none of your gpe interrupts is enabled anyway.
Have you seen anything to suggest it will not say "Invalid argument" for one that is "invalid" like your gpe35 example?


Regards

Thanks for response.

I tried to disable all of gpe's through a script. All of them (129) fail with "invalid argument". Everywhere I searched echoing disable to the interrupts worked for them... I dunno why it doesn't for me and I'm kinda lost. I thought it's some kernel option missing or something, I downloaded Ubuntu just for this, tried it, same result...

Code:
echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe35


Try to send the value "1" or "0" to the files in /sys

See too, files in /usr/src/*/Documentation for references to "firmware" Not saying anything relating to your particular issue is in there, just that kernel source code is a good source of information.

Edit to add: from /usr/src/*/Documentation, the file ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-acpi has an entry on the files in /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/

Code:
               All ACPI interrupts are handled via a single IRQ,
                the System Control Interrupt (SCI), which appears
                as "acpi" in /proc/interrupts.


Echoing a value as I suggested simply changes the counter, and does not enable or disable. Sending the string "disable" is supposed to work, assuming that particular function can be toggled ...

Code:
                Besides this, user can also write specific strings to these files
                to enable/disable/clear ACPI interrupts in user space, which can be
                used to debug some ACPI interrupt storm issues.

                Note that only writing to VALID GPE/Fixed Event is allowed,
                i.e. user can only change the status of runtime GPE and
                Fixed Event with event handler installed.


Edit again, adding ...

The kernel has all sorts of ACPI options. I'd explore from `make menuconfig` using the "/" command to search for "acpi" and the "?" command to get some idea of what various kernel options aim to do. You may have enabled an ACPI option that results in unnecessary CPU load and provides no function on your system, or some useful function may be misconfigured.
