Hi Everyone!

I'm running gentoo with hardened source (selinux in permissive mode):
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux dbXPSg 3.8.3-hardened #1 SMP Sun Apr 14 18:30:52 CEST 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I have recently updated the kernel from version 3.7.5-r1 and I noticed that some files from /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 disappeared.
Code:
$ ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0
alarm  device  power  subsystem  uevent

For instance: status, charge_now, charge_full, power_now, current_now, which are used by my GUI battery widget.

If I boot with kernel 3.7.5-r1, the files reappear.

Before compiling the kernel, I have launched make menuconfig loading the old 3.7.5 kernel configuration.

Any idea?

IIRC it is a known bug. 3.8.2 or 3.8.4 and later do not show this behavior.

Thanks. Upgrading to 3.8.6 solved the problem.
