[Bug 1690085]

2019-03-16 Thread ison
I am still receiving lockups even with the latest BIOS, all the BIOS
setting recommendations here, and with the idle=halt kernel parameter.

Although I am now fairly certain that I have a faulty motherboard (x470) which 
seems to be getting worse, and sometimes doesn't even get to the BIOS at all (I 
should have suspected something was up when I first bought it and the PS/2 port 
didn't work).
I'm going to try replacing it and hopefully that'll help.

In light of the last few comments here I can say that I may have been confusing 
2 separate issues: The random segfaults and the lockups.
I tested idle=halt a while back and I may have inadvertently concluded that it 
didn't work due to my machine still receiving segfaults, which I was assuming 
would eventually lead to a lockup.

Likewise, the solution I mentioned earlier (disabling
PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION) seems to have fixed my crashes, but my machine
just locked up.

I've set idle=halt again and this time I'll try to keep the two issues separate 
and only post back here if I still receive lockups.
Thanks for clarifying the issue.

[Bug 1690085]

2019-03-10 Thread ison
I have tested it on 5.0 and still experienced the soft lockups just as 
frequently as with 4.20.
However, I am currently testing kernel 5.0 with PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION disabled 
and it seems that it may be a fix.

Although maybe it's a bit premature to say that, since my experience with this 
issue (on 2700X) has been extremely inconsistent. I get the soft lockups, but 
in addition to the lockups (and usually preceding them) it seems like my whole 
system becomes unstable. Applications start segfaulting, or turning into 
zombies that can't be killed, then the lockup happens if I just let it go.
What's strange is that once this sort of "instability" occurs it seems to stay 
unstable even across reboots, and I can only have my machine running 20-30min 
before things start segfaulting or locking up again. Usually it takes me about 
5 or 6 restarts before it just seems to hit some sweet spot and become 
"stable". Once it's stable it stays stable for days, even if I restart the 
machine.

So based on the above description I can see that narrowing down the
problem could be very difficult since something might seem to be working
for a while, until it doesn't.

At any rate, the solution I'm currently testing was proposed in this Gentoo 
thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1074860-start-0.html
which I stumbled upon after receiving a kernel panic and noticing this error
>Unexpected reschedule of offline CPU#0!
>From what I can tell "offline CPU" sounds very relevant to our issue.

Their solution was to disable PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION in the kernel. This also 
intrigues me as I remember seeing other errors in dmesg relating to "page" 
writing.
Apparently that kernel option isn't even necessary for AMD CPU's anyway. It was 
meant to fix an insecurity in intel CPU's, so it can be safely disabled.

NOTE: I am testing this with some of the BIOS modifications recommended by 
others here (such as disabling c6 state and "typical current idle", etc..)
If this solution works for another week or so I'll try restoring the BIOS 
settings to their defaults and testing again.
