>From my experience (a Ryzen 1700X on a MSI B350 motherboard) the freezes on IDLE, like the ones described from Trevor Cordes, went way once I changed the "Idle: typical" setting on the BIOS.
I had the bug before the BIOS setting appeared, and tried many things with more or less success. But the best solution by far is just to change the BIOS setting. I have many months of uptime without any lock up since then. *It should be the first thing to test if your computer freezes by itself on idle*. On the other hand I have a Threadripper that freezes when doing hard computations (that alternate between high CPU usage and low, because it needs to write temporary results to disk). This can not be solved using the "Idle: typical" BIOS option. This other freeze happens specially when using Matlab. I am starting to think that the problem is that Matlab (or the MKL Blas libraryit uses) might use heavily SSE3 instructions that have the MWAIT instruction as cited by Francesco Buscani above. I should try the kernel option "idle=mnowait" to see if I can get rid of these freezes. Unfortunately I am travelling until the end of the month and away from the Threadrippers to test it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690085 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 : May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.186246] INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.187618] 0-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=49b/1/0 softirq=28561/28563 fqs=913449 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.188977] (detected by 12, t=1860207 jiffies, g=10001, c=10000, q=4656) May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190344] Task dump for CPU 0: May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190345] swapper/0 R running task 0 0 0 0x00000008 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190348] Call Trace: May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190354] ? native_safe_halt+0x6/0x10 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190355] ? default_idle+0x20/0xd0 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190358] ? arch_cpu_idle+0xf/0x20 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190360] ? default_idle_call+0x23/0x30 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190362] ? do_idle+0x16f/0x200 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190364] ? cpu_startup_entry+0x71/0x80 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190366] ? rest_init+0x77/0x80 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190368] ? start_kernel+0x464/0x485 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190369] ? early_idt_handler_array+0x120/0x120 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190371] ? x86_64_start_reservations+0x24/0x26 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190372] ? x86_64_start_kernel+0x14d/0x170 May 10 22:41:56 dev2 kernel: [24366.190373] ? start_cpu+0x14/0x14 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.188093] INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.189461] 0-...: (1 GPs behind) idle=49b/1/0 softirq=28561/28563 fqs=935027 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.190823] (detected by 14, t=1905212 jiffies, g=10001, c=10000, q=4740) May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192191] Task dump for CPU 0: May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192192] swapper/0 R running task 0 0 0 0x00000008 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192195] Call Trace: May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192199] ? native_safe_halt+0x6/0x10 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192201] ? default_idle+0x20/0xd0 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192203] ? arch_cpu_idle+0xf/0x20 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192204] ? default_idle_call+0x23/0x30 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192206] ? do_idle+0x16f/0x200 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192208] ? cpu_startup_entry+0x71/0x80 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192210] ? rest_init+0x77/0x80 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192211] ? start_kernel+0x464/0x485 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192213] ? early_idt_handler_array+0x120/0x120 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192214] ? x86_64_start_reservations+0x24/0x26 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192215] ? x86_64_start_kernel+0x14d/0x170 May 10 22:44:56 dev2 kernel: [24546.192217] ? start_cpu+0x14/0x14 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...
