Roland reported that his DELL T5810 sports a value add BIOS which completely wreckages the TSC. The squirmware [(TM) Ingo Molnar] boots with random negative TSC_ADJUST values, different on all CPUs. That renders the TSC useless because the sycnchronization check fails. Roland tested the new TSC_ADJUST mechanism. While it manages to readjust the TSCs he needs to disable the TSC deadline timer, otherwise the machine just stops booting. Deeper investigation unearthed that the TSC deadline timer is sensitive to the TSC_ADJUST value. Writing TSC_ADJUST to a negative value results in an interrupt storm caused by the TSC deadline timer. This does not make any sense and it's hard to imagine what kind of hardware wreckage is behind that misfeature, but it's reliably reproducible on other systems which have TSC_ADJUST and TSC deadline timer. While it would be understandable that a big enough negative value which moves the resulting TSC readout into the negative space could have the described effect, this happens even with a adjust value of -1, which keeps the TSC readout definitely in the positive space. The compare register for the TSC deadline timer is set to a positive value larger than the TSC, but despite not having reached the deadline the interrupt is raised immediately. If this happens on the boot CPU, then the machine dies silently because this setup happens before the NMI watchdog is armed. Further experiments showed that any other adjustment of TSC_ADJUST works as expected as long as it stays in the positive range. The direction of the adjustment has no influence either. See the lkml link for further analysis. Yet another proof for the theory that timers are designed by janitors and the underlying (obviously undocumented) mechanisms which allow BIOSes to wreckage them are considered a feature. Well done Intel - NOT! To address this wreckage add the following sanity measures: - If the TSC_ADJUST value on the boot cpu is not 0, set it to 0 - If the TSC_ADJUST value on any cpu is negative, set it to 0 - Prevent the cross package synchronization mechanism from setting negative TSC_ADJUST values.
