Hi Pali,

Yes I can compile the kernel, yes I can debug this if you can suggest possible fixes or kprintf that you would like added to get more information.

Sorry I missed the dmi info...

Erratic fan speed and little control kernel 4.2

After upgrading to kernel 4.2 my CPU fan started speeding and slowing
without good reason even when the PC is idle.

To stop erratic fan speed - reboot sometimes works.

This bug has been bisected to commit
f989e55452c74b4f7b22c889b8ec9f1192aaeec4

There is very similar (or same) problem on desktop Dell Studio XPS 8100.
See bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100121

In your long email is missing one important information: DMI information
about your machine. Can you run dmidecode and send output?

You were able to bisect problematic commit, are you able to do some
additional test and debug root of this issue?

In my opinion problem is in some SMM call, but without commenting code
which calling it, step by step and testing is not possible to decide...
