Issue #121 has been updated by Patrick Rudolph.

I made good progress with https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/81597
It allows to configure the VR12-compatible regulator adjusting the CPU core 
voltage.
Especially the PSI state are from interest, since those are using in Package C3 
or deeper.

My X220 is stable for 9hours while residing in Package C7 without freezes or 
shutdowns.

Since the VR12 configuration is mainboard specific the devicetree settings 
should not be copy pasted from existing board, but read from vendor firmware 
MSRs.
The values can be obtained from MSR 0x601 and MSR 0x602 for example using the 
`$ rdmsr` tool.
The devicetree values can be obtained using:

```
#!/bin/bash
echo "register \"pp0_current_limit\" = \"$(($(rdmsr -d -f 12:0 0x601) / 8))\""
echo "register \"pp1_current_limit\" = \"$(($(rdmsr -d -f 12:0 0x602) / 8))\""

echo "register \"pp0_psi[VR12_PSI1]\" = \"{$(($(rdmsr -d -f 41:39 0x601) + 1)), 
$(rdmsr -d -f 38:32 0x601)}\""
echo "register \"pp0_psi[VR12_PSI2]\" = \"{$(($(rdmsr -d -f 51:49 0x601) + 1)), 
$(rdmsr -d -f 48:42 0x601)}\""
echo "register \"pp0_psi[VR12_PSI3]\" = \"{$(($(rdmsr -d -f 61:59 0x601) + 1)), 
$(rdmsr -d -f 58:52 0x601)}\""

echo "register \"pp1_psi[VR12_PSI1]\" = \"{$(($(rdmsr -d -f 41:39 0x602) + 1)), 
$(rdmsr -d -f 38:32 0x602)}\""
echo "register \"pp1_psi[VR12_PSI2]\" = \"{$(($(rdmsr -d -f 51:49 0x602) + 1)), 
$(rdmsr -d -f 48:42 0x602)}\""
echo "register \"pp1_psi[VR12_PSI3]\" = \"{$(($(rdmsr -d -f 61:59 0x602) + 1)), 
$(rdmsr -d -f 58:52 0x602)}\""
```

Bug #121: T520: Hangs in OS 
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/121#change-1815

* Author: Firstname Lastname
* Status: In Progress
* Priority: Normal
* Category: chipset configuration
* Start date: 2017-06-09
* Affected hardware: SNB, IVY
* Affected OS: -
----------------------------------------
I have been running coreboot since 2017.04.15 and have experienced hangs ever 
since then. It was suggested by folk on the IRC that I run memtest to check for 
incorrect raminit causing errors, however I have run memtest for 12 hours 
straight with no errors.

Due to the ambiguous nature of the hangs (immediate freeze with no warning 
signs, audio gets stuck repeating the last 50ms or so of noise, not sure what 
this effect is called) I don't have much useful information other than the 
.config and dmesg. However one thing I can say with high confidence is that the 
hangs occur significantly more frequently in Linux (*buntu distros) than 
Windows 10. Within an hour of launching Linux a hang is likely, whereas Windows 
typically runs for many hours before a hang occurs. I considered this an 
insignificant anecdotal anomaly at first but over the course of the nearly 2 
months I have been running coreboot it seems to be a solid trend. The hangs 
occur anywhere, typically during mere desktop usage or basic web browsing.

Additionally there is another form of hang I experience where the screen goes 
black except for some sort of graphical corruption down the left side 
(http://i.imgur.com/4zWrlpX.jpg), whether this is related to the more common 
total freeze hangs I don't know but I figured I should include it nonetheless. 
These hangs only occur about 1:20 compared to the regular hangs.
