I'm sorry, I don't currently suffer from any significant hangs on my
machines when running stock Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS (4.15.0-43-generic).

I mostly meant #570 to demonstrate that some firmware does indeed
implement the errata.

While I've had core hangs and hard freezes in the past, the machine has
enough workarounds applied to make it sufficiently stable. Current
uptime is something like 81 days since the last incident and I can
honestly not remember what it did then, but it's been used heavily as a
build machine.

>From my memory: sufficiently RMA:d CPUs, slight overclocking, change the
current idle setting in firmware, boot idle=nomwait.

Back when I had significant problems, the best way to mitigate them was
to disable SMT.

It's possible that my increased stability has come from firmware
implementing this errata, or it might be coincidental, I don't have
enough data to tell.

(You people should be happy you're not running FreeBSD, there I can
reasonably reliably hang Ryzens within hours by sending ZFS snapshots :D
)
