Hello all,
We are experiencing a boot hang issue when booting kernel version
6.1.83+ on a Dell Inc. PowerEdge R770 equipped with an Intel Xeon
6710E processor. After extensive testing and use of `git bisect`, we
have traced the issue to commit:
`586e19c88a0c ("iommu/vt-d: Retrieve IOMMU perfmon capability information")`
This commit appears to be part of a larger patchset, which can be found here:
[Patchset on lore.kernel.org](https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7c4b3e4e-1c5d-04f1-1891-84f686c94736@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/)
We attempted to boot with the `intel_iommu=off` option, but the system
hangs in the same manner. However, the system boots successfully after
disabling `CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_PERF_EVENTS`.
I'm reporting here in case others hit the same issue.
Any assistance or guidance on understanding/resolving this issue would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
