We have some Dell servers running Intel Gold 6126 processors. Some

watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU #16 stuck for 23s! [swapper/0:1]
We see that PCC subspaces error under 4.14 as well, but it doesn't
cause the machine to hang.
So far we haven't been able to correlate these hangs with anything
in particular. Some machines will hang, some machines will boot.
They're otherwise identical as far as hardware and firmware goes.
I've tried pcie_aspm=off, since that seems to be the next bit of
code that's being executed. This resulted in the machine booting a
little further, but then oopsing somewhere in acpi_os_purge_cache.
I'm not able to get a full trace there, as I don't have serial
access easily available.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
The first thing that I would do is boot with:
ignore_loglevel initcall_debug
on the kernel boot command line.
That will add lots of messages and maybe give us a stronger hint
about where
the hang is actually happening.
And then worst case (without a boot log via serial console or
netconsole) is
to take a photo of the screen with the oops messages.
And if you are fairly certain that it's an ACPI issue, also write to the
linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list.
Thanks!
I booted with those parameters, and this certainly seems like an ACPI
issue. During bootup, the machine paused here for about 20s:

then it started printing this trace:

(I can't see to figure out a decent way to capture the beginning of
the trace here, I'll have to see if I can get the serial console working)
I got the serial console working, that's just the end of the CPU stuck
