The revision https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/x86/x86/cpu_machdep.c?r1=336763&r2=336762&pathrev=336763 works around the mwait issue, i.e. it sets sysctl machdep.idle_mwait=0 sysctl machdep.idle=hlt Now it may or may not relate to your problem, but it appears that Ryzen 2400G also has another issue with HLT, see the DragonFly bug report https://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3131 which AMD is aware of and is possibly working on, but it may not have appeared in the errata yet. The bug report says that until this is fixed, the workaround is to also disable HLT in cpu_idle. I am not sure what is the correct value for the sysctl on FreeBSD, perhaps sysctl machdep.idle=0 or some other value? Cheers Peeter --
