Recently I bought a new Ryzen machine. When I tried to test v4.11-rc8 on it, it failed to boot with the following panic log.

This panic occured at lib/raid6/avx2.c#raid6_avx21_gen_syndrome() and this
function consists of many AVX instructions.
lib/raid6/avx2.c:
```
/*
* Plain AVX2 implementation
*/
static void raid6_avx21_gen_syndrome(int disks, size_t bytes, void **ptrs)
{
u8 **dptr = (u8 **)ptrs;
u8 *p, *q;
int d, z, z0;
z0 = disks - 3; /* Highest data disk */
p = dptr[z0+1]; /* XOR parity */
q = dptr[z0+2]; /* RS syndrome */
kernel_fpu_begin();
asm volatile("vmovdqa %0,%%ymm0" : : "m" (raid6_avx2_constants.x1d[0]));
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm3,%ymm3,%ymm3"); /* Zero temp */
for (d = 0; d < bytes; d += 32) {
asm volatile("prefetchnta %0" : : "m" (dptr[z0][d]));
asm volatile("vmovdqa %0,%%ymm2" : : "m" (dptr[z0][d]));/* P[0]
*/
asm volatile("prefetchnta %0" : : "m" (dptr[z0-1][d]));
asm volatile("vmovdqa %ymm2,%ymm4");/* Q[0] */
asm volatile("vmovdqa %0,%%ymm6" : : "m" (dptr[z0-1][d]));
for (z = z0-2; z >= 0; z--) {
asm volatile("prefetchnta %0" : : "m" (dptr[z][d]));
asm volatile("vpcmpgtb %ymm4,%ymm3,%ymm5");
asm volatile("vpaddb %ymm4,%ymm4,%ymm4");
asm volatile("vpand %ymm0,%ymm5,%ymm5");
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm5,%ymm4,%ymm4");
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm6,%ymm2,%ymm2");
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm6,%ymm4,%ymm4");
asm volatile("vmovdqa %0,%%ymm6" : : "m" (dptr[z][d]));
}
asm volatile("vpcmpgtb %ymm4,%ymm3,%ymm5");
asm volatile("vpaddb %ymm4,%ymm4,%ymm4");
asm volatile("vpand %ymm0,%ymm5,%ymm5");
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm5,%ymm4,%ymm4");
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm6,%ymm2,%ymm2");
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm6,%ymm4,%ymm4");
asm volatile("vmovntdq %%ymm2,%0" : "=m" (p[d]));
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm2,%ymm2,%ymm2");
asm volatile("vmovntdq %%ymm4,%0" : "=m" (q[d]));
asm volatile("vpxor %ymm4,%ymm4,%ymm4");
}
asm volatile("sfence" : : : "memory");
kernel_fpu_end();
}
```
This problem can be bypassed by the following patch.
```

I suspect that there is a problem about handling AVX2 in the linux kernel or in
Ryzen.
# Build environent
## Hardware
CPU: Ryzen 1800x
## Software
- distro: Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64
- gcc: gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609
## Build target kernel version
linux v4.11-r8
## Test environment
## Hardware
A VM running on the above mentioned hardware.
## Software
- distro: Ubuntu 16.04
# Additional information
- .config is attached in this mail
- This problam also happens on v4.10
- When I tested v4.10 in my previous Core i5 machine, it succeeded to boot.
