Hi, I've tested your patch on a Core2Duo with XSAVE but (of course) without AVX on 10-CURRENT as of today (r229812):
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6670 @ 2.20GHz (2194.55-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x1067a Family = 6 Model = 17 Stepping = 10 Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE, MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> Features2=0x408e3bd<SSE3,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR, PDCM,SSE4.1,XSAVE> AMD Features=0x20100800<SYSCALL,NX,LM> AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF> Everything's fine: - System is booting without a problem - All applications are working - AVX applications are still failing with SIGILL But there's one problem: While a shutdown (shutdown -p now) is always successfull a reboot (shutdown -r now) and suspend (zzz) are resulting in a double panic. The first panic is a "Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode" on "cpuid = 1; apic id = 01". The process is always "idle: cpu1". The second panic is also "Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode" but with "cpuid = 0; apic id = 00". The process is always "init". Since it's a dual core cpu, one panic for each processor core? I'm unable to get a core dump and ddb is unresponsive to any keyboard input. A serial console is unavailable, since it's a laptop... Nevertheless I've uploaded screenshots of both panics to: http://deponie.yamagi.org/freebsd/debug/avx On Mon, 2 Jan 2012 08:37:00 +0200 Kostik Belousov <[email protected]> wrote: > The patch > http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/misc/avx.2.patch > is the commit candidate.
