LISPBSD: a working NetBSD 11.0/amd64 setup on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano
Gen 1 (Tiger Lake i7-1160G7, Iris Xe, AX201 WiFi, Elan I2C touchpad), with
root running cclsh (SBCL) as its login shell and StumpWM as the WM.
This repo archives the out-of-tree kernel patches, loadable modules, userland
helpers and dotfiles that make the machine usable — for posterity, not as a
buildable tree. Kernel files live under kernel/ at their src/sys/-relative
paths.
kernel/modules/hwp— Intel Speed Shift (HWP) governor; givesmachdep.hwp.eppand turbo (Tiger Lake has no legacy SpeedStep, soestdis dead here).kernel/modules/patfix— broadcasts IA32_PAT to all CPUs (NetBSD 11 only programs PAT on the BSP → write-combining framebuffer was uncached on APs).kernel/modules/cidle— MWAIT deep C-state idle loop (acpicpu only picks C1); cores now reach C7, and exposesmachdep.cidle.residency(core/package C-states).kernel/kern/kern_lpsched.c,kernel/sys/lpsched.h+ hooks inkern_runq.c,kern_timeout.c,wskbd.c/wsmouse.c— lpsched, a laptop power governor: idle-aware thread packing, callout coalescing and an input-idle signal undermachdep.lpsched.*, driven byuserland/lpschedd.c(AC/load/idle → HWP EPP + profile) with a StumpWM focus hook (dotfiles/.stumpwm.d/lpsched.lisp). Design:docs/lpsched-design.org.kernel/external/.../i915— Tiger Lake i915 bring-up + RC6 power-gating patch (package now reaches PC8).kernel/dev/acpi— forced-S3 SSDT injection (options ACPI_FORCE_S3) and C-state tweaks. NOTE: S3 enters but does not resume on this firmware.kernel/dev/pci/if_iwx.c— WiFi power management (adds IEEE80211_C_PMGT).kernel/dev/pckbport,kernel/arch/x86/pci/dwiic_pci.c— Elan touchpad.userland/—brightness(ACPI backlight, save/restore),iblc, status bar (statusbar/statusbard),screentemp(static 4000K),s3diag.dotfiles/—.stumpwmrc(waybar-style bar, no-busy-loop mode-line refresh),.xinitrc.etc/boot.cfg,etc/rc.conf,etc/sysctl.conf,etc/modules.conf,etc/rc.d/,etc/powerd/— boot menu, enabled services (lpschedd), persisted sysctls (HWP EPP, tickless idle) and autoloaded modules.docs/— running notes, includinglpsched-design.org(design, review, repairs and measurements) andrpm-s0ix-findings.org.
Power tuning highlights: fixed a StumpWM mode-line busy-loop (~2.5 W), enabled deep C-states + RC6, HWP EPP bias, and ACPI backlight control → idle ~5 W screen-on (WiFi), from ~10 W.
