SubjectRegression: unable to boot after commit bd9240a18edf ("x86/apic: Add TSC_DEADLINE quirk due to errata") - Surface Pro 4 SKL
From
Date
Hi, All,

My Surface Pro 4 is unable to boot after 4.12. The symptom is that
kernel freezes during boot, and the last message in the screen is
loading the initrd image. And I have bisected it to this commit

commit bd9240a18edfbfa72e957fc2ba831cf1f13ea073 (refs/bisect/bad)

    x86/apic: Add TSC_DEADLINE quirk due to errata
    
    Due to errata it is possible for the TSC_DEADLINE timer to
misbehave
    after using TSC_ADJUST. A microcode update is available to fix this
    situation.
    
    Avoid using the TSC_DEADLINE timer if it is affected by this issue
and
    report the required microcode version.

Currently, I'm using v4.14 kernel with the following workaround on top.

I'm reading the related code but have not figured out the root cause yet.
Anyone suggestions?

thanks,
rui
