In my experience, this issue is reflected in 20-30% of CPU usage for the Linux kworker
process or for the System
process on a Windows machine.
Also, this approach is useful for any interrupts that might be hogging your CPU, use grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/
to find out.
After 8 years the problem obviously still persist on some devices.
I've updated the BIOS on my HP ZBook G6 recently and now the Arch Linux installation is running in this trouble with 6F.
I've read somewhere it has something to do with a connected USB device which is missing and the 6F is waiting for it, causing the CPU load
Tried to disable it via GRUB, but that is not working in 50% of the time after reboot. Sometimes works, sometimes not.
Installed it now as a service, let's see how this goes.
Additional helpful note for potential future readers: if BIOS update does not solve issue, you can either keep this systemd service or add
acpi_mask_gpe=0x6F
as kernel boot parameter.
