Description Joe Konno 2012-11-26 16:41:42 UTC
Running Weston-DRM and letting it idle, PowerTop is showing the weston and desktop-shell processes issuing a wakeup about every minute.

To clarify, by "idle" I mean that no input events are generated and no applications are running. Only minimal runlevel 3 daemons, Weston, and sshd. I'm using the weston.ini under source control, but with `background-image` commented out.

Weston and Wayland code are from tag `1.0.1`.
Comment 1 Joe Konno 2012-11-26 16:53:57 UTC
Here's what I ran:

  weston -i0 &
  sudo powertop --html=weston.html --time=300 --iteration=3

Processes were emitting wakeups regularly each iteration. Time units are seconds, so three five-minute samples.
Comment 2 Kristian Høgsberg 2012-11-26 16:58:51 UTC
Oh, that must be the clock in the panel...

Applying the attached patches and then toggling the panel clock "off" proves your statement. No clock, no wakeups. ^_^

krh, you have any interest in adding a panel_clock option like I've attached? It would certainly make my life easier. Otherwise, I'll go on and close.

We've had requests for seconds in the clock before so maybe we could
make it an enum:

clock=[none/seconds/minutes]

or perhaps even a format string we pass to strftime(3) and special case 'none'.

Comment 8 Joe Konno 2012-11-26 23:47:33 UTC
Okay, since we're going down the "let's enhance the panel clock" road, I'll go ahead and close this, since I can now justify the wakeups.

"Notabug" because the interrupts were being emitted due the redraw calls made by the panel clock. This is not errant behavior.
