I have the same issue on an acer vn7-592g and Ubuntu 18.10. I
temporarily fixed by editing thermald config in /etc/thermald/thermal-
cpu-cdev-order.xml to deactivate most cooling methods (guess work as the
documentation for it is almost none existent)
<CoolingDeviceOrder>
<!-- Specify Cooling device order -->
<CoolingDevice>rapl_controller</CoolingDevice>
<!--<CoolingDevice>intel_pstate</CoolingDevice> -->
<!--<CoolingDevice>intel_powerclamp</CoolingDevice> -->
<!--<CoolingDevice>cpufreq</CoolingDevice>-->
<!--<CoolingDevice>Processor</CoolingDevice> -->
</CoolingDeviceOrder>
On my setup only "rapl_controller" seems to work. "cpufreq" has no
effect (might have something to do with my TLP config)
"intel_pstate", "intel_powerclamp" and "Processor" never stop throttling
once the temperature limit is reached.
If needed, throttling can be reset without rebooting by:
"intel_pstate" --> sudo tlp start (you probably don't need tlp but I
don't know the underlying command that makes it work)
"intel_powerclamp" --> sudo rmmod intel_powerclamp
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/457252/intel-powerclamp-start-stop-forced-idle-injection)
"Processor" --> no idea, can't even find documentation on what it
actually does

Title:
kidle_inject constantly running
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in thermald package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Computer boots up fine, but as soon as any process causes a single
spike in CPU, `kidle_inject` starts and it just won't stop.
Even after 1 hour of idling, with low temperatures, no fan, it’s still
making this computer unresponsive.
I disabled `kidle_inject` process by creating a file `/etc/modprobe.d
/blacklist-power.conf` with the following content:
```
blacklist intel_powerclamp
blacklist intel_rapl
```
Then I restarted computer. Since then, my computer is not unresponsive
anymore, and I use it to work all the time.
