My rolling 5.0 (Jan. 2019) heats when idle or works not much. There are no
sched_mc_power_savings and
sched_smt_power_savings
kernel files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/ , so it is impossible to turn on scheduling.
This is problem for laptops users - shorter battery cycle (and unnecessary planet warming - for all).

Would you set
CONFIG_SHED_MC to 'y' and
CONFIG_SHED_SMT to 'y'
every time you compile new rolling version ?

One more time like above.

Do your rolling or next releases blow warm when nothing to do ?

Setup requires installing additional tazpkgs:
cpufrequtils and powertop
linux-cpufreq and linux-acpi for required kernel modules.
