Hi guys. I have an Asus ROG Strix notebook with Ryzen 7 1700. My CPU was
manufactured on week 46 of 2017 (UA 1746PGS), so it does not have the
segfault problem. My notebook completely freeze when it is idle, not
always, but it is more common when newly powered (cool) or after heavy
activities. The freezes never occurred during more intense use, only
when idle. Like all notebook BIOS, my BIOS options is quite limited and
does not have a "Typical current idle" or similar option. I tried to
recompile the kernel with the option "RCU_NOCB_CPU" and also tried all
possible combinations with the parameters "rcu_nocbs", "iommu=soft/pt",
"idle=nomwait/halt", "pti=off" / "nopti", etc, etc, etc. The only
alternative that actually solved the freeze problem was to use the
program "zenstates.py" disabling the "c6state" core and package. But
this attitude makes my CPU run about 5°C warmer. I used Windows on this
same machine for weeks without any crashes. This makes me conclude the
following: does not crash on windows (ok, it's a software problem,
"linux"); CPU intel does not hang in linux (oh no, ok, it's a hardware
problem, "Ryzen"). I do not know what AMD thinks about this, but I was
forced to change my notebook. Now I got one with an Intel processor.
Thank you AMD.
