The "freezing while idle" problem does appear to be (at least) worked
around by the "Typical Current Idle" option. If that counts as a fix,
then the bug is fixed -- or rather, was never a Kernel Bug.
The "Random Soft Lockup" -- the nominal subject of the bug -- on the
other hand... who can tell ?
It would be churlish not to be happy that my machine is now reliable and
I am a believer in credit where credit is due.
So, as you say, all credit goes to AMD for their total silence up to and
after the release of the work around (or fix) -- except for the advice
that some (older) power supplies might not work. I don't really need to
know why or how the new option does the trick, but I remain curious
whether it has a material effect on power consumption.
But I also give credit to this bug's assignee for their total silence --
in particular:
* it's not clear whether the "freezing while idle" and "Random Soft Lockup"
problems are separate, related or the same.
* hence, the CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU and rcu_nocbs=0-15 voodoo may or may
not still be recommended ?
For all I know, with the "Typical Current Idle" option, I may be better
off returning to the default configuration ?
* and there is talk of kernel changes which reduce power consumption
(significantly ?) -- which may or may not be related to these issues.
Sadly, the absence of solid information allows half-truths and ill-
informed speculation to take its place and to live on in the undamped
echo chamber of the interweb :-( [I acknowledge my small part in that
noise :-(]

Title:
Ryzen 1800X freeze - rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks
Status in Linux:
Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi,
We aregetting various kernel crash on a pretty new config.
We're using Ryzen 1800X CPU with X370 Gaming Pro Carbon MB (7A32V1) using
latest BIOS available (1.52)
We are running Ubuntu 17.04 (amd64), we've tried different kernel version,
native one and releases from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ too.
Tested kernel version:
native 17.04 kernel
4.10.15
Issues are the same, we're getting random freeze on the machine.
Here is kern.log entry when happening :

Depending on the kernel version, we've got NMI watchdog errors related to CPU
stuck (mentioning the CPU core id, which is random).
Crash is happening randomly, but in general after some hours (3-4h).
Now, we've installed kernel 4.11.0-041100-generic #201705041534 this morning
and waiting for crash...
For now, the machine is not "used", at least, it's not CPU stressed...
Thanks
