https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270943 --- Comment #2 from Neil Bradley <nb@synthcom.com> --- Workaround for this is to go in to BIOS, select "AMD CBS", then "Processor Features", and change "Global C state control" to "enabled" (or disabled, but this uses more power). "auto" Is the setting that seems to cause the lockups. Once changed to enabled or disabled, the system is stable for >12 hours. More detail, with C state control "disabled", I get the following wattage usage: Power in = 300 watts Power out = 276 watts CPU = 168 watts Mem = 112 watts root@amd-megaserver:/home/nb # sysctl dev.cpu | grep cx dev.cpu.255.cx_method: C1/hlt dev.cpu.255.cx_usage_counters: 2525 dev.cpu.255.cx_usage: 100.00% last 713773us dev.cpu.255.cx_lowest: C1 dev.cpu.255.cx_supported: C1/1/0 However, when running with C state control "enabled", it's much more reasonable and in line with other operating systems' idle power consumption: Power in = 120 watts Power out = 108 watts CPU = 88 watts Mem = 16 watts nb@amd-megaserver:~ $ sysctl dev.cpu | grep cx dev.cpu.255.cx_method: C1/hlt C2/io dev.cpu.255.cx_usage_counters: 1752 0 dev.cpu.255.cx_usage: 100.00% 0.00% last 395716us dev.cpu.255.cx_lowest: C1 dev.cpu.255.cx_supported: C1/1/1 C2/2/400 Unsure of how to properly disposition this, as while this does provide a usable workaround, it does feel like there's something OS-wise that's not quite right, given there are no lockup issues with Linux or Windows. Leaving open for the FreeBSD to disposition as they see fit with the information above. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
