My newly acquired AMD Ryzen Threadripper based system seems to have
some TSC quirks, which go away once the system is up.

Given the discussion in https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/28/1356 
I don't seem to be the only one, and it does not seem to be
Threadripper specific.

The first patch addresses presumably SMI interruptions, that occur
on my system at a 60 Hz frequency. They take too long, making the
existing code fail. The patch makes that code more resilient.
(These interruptions go away at some point during boot; also proven
by the fact, that I don't have any TSC issues, when kexecing into
a new kernel.)

The second patch prevents TSC going unstable when resuming from S3.
This may have a similar source, but is certainly more weird: the
TSC is observed to go backwards on CPU0 by about 200 to 500 cycles
compared to other CPUs every once in a while, as long as its sibling
(CPU16 in my case) hasn't been resumed yet. (I did some experiments
with CPU hotplug before and after suspend, but apart from reproducing
the issue and verifying the "fix", I got nowhere.)

The patches are against v4.20.

Some systems experience regular interruptions (60 Hz SMI?), that prevent
the quick PIT calibration from succeeding: individual interruptions can be
so long, that the PIT MSB is observed to decrement by 2 or 3 instead of 1.
The existing code cannot recover from this.

The system in question is an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, microcode
0x800820b, on an ASRock Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming, BIOS P3.30.

Change the code to handle (almost) arbitrary interruptions, as long
as they happen only once in a while and they do not take too long.
Specifically, also cover an interruption during the very first reads.

At least one system declares the TSC unstable after resume from S3,
because the TSC is observed going backwards up to roughly 500 cycles
every now and then, when bringing secondary CPUs back online.

The system in question is an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, microcode
0x800820b, on an ASRock Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming, BIOS P3.30.

This unexplained behavior goes away as soon as the sibling CPU of the
boot CPU is brought back up. Hence, add a hack to restore the sibling
CPU before all others on unfreeze. This keeps the TSC stable.

I rather go for correct and if only for the reason that me/you/whoelse
doesn't have to scratch the head for an hour when looking at this half a
year from now.

That's not the way it works. The TSC one might go to stable eventually, but
the second one is a hack and surely goes nowhere in the current
form. Routing patches to stable is not a matter of works for me.

Uurgh, no. As you said that's a hack and I'm pretty sure that it just works
by chance. It makes the underlying wreckage not longer observable.

I'm pretty sure this is a BIOS bug and I'm really not going to make a
special case here just to accomodate with that particular broken
firmware. This would just set precedence for random ordering requests based
on DMI strings and other data to make it work on all kind of broken
motherboard/firmware/microcode combinations.

Surely nice detective work, but we really don't want to open this can of
worms.

Too bad that AMD does not have the TSC_ADJUST register. It would tell you
immediately what's wrong and the code we have for that would probably cure
the mess.

Sigh, it's more than 20 years by now that I'm complaining to both Intel and
AMD about the complete trainwreck they made out of TSC and it's still not
fixed. Though I still have the illusion that by the time I retire I get my
hands on a machine with a sane TSC implementation. Hope dies last ....

Oh well, enough ranted and with that I hand off the further proceedings to
Tom Lendacky who surely can give you more technical help than me in that
particular matter.

Thanks,
