I even threw out the C-state thing again and it still has not crashed.
Manjaro 18 beta with kernel 4.17rc and that rcu_nocbs=0-7. Nothing else.
Can I help testing your stuff?
Warning: you’d need to explain veeery sloooowly.
I’m more of a filthy casual in the terminal.
I am testing now with both rcu_nocbs=0-7 and processor.max_cstate=1
No crashes yet at 12 compiles 
I could really use some help but I cannot release this code unfortunately and I don’t know if it only hangs while compiling my code or if any Quartus compile hangs it.
EDIT: 50 compiles and no crashes, time to transfer my installs and home folder and see if general usage and gaming crashes it.
Happy with the results so far. Less battery life for now is not a big issue.
Huh, so it seems like a power management issue from what I’ve read so far, like XFR and powersave options for the Ryzen platform just plain aren’t working.
You’d probably want to run that laptop at full clocks consistently until they get the power save features fixed.
OK, finally it froze. No trying processor.max_cstate=3.
That froze after a couple hours video playback.

Now testing processor.max_cstate=1 again
… with the one and only burn-in test.
OK, pretty much a full day uptime, 12 hours videoplayback, three of those Ryan’s PGP stream, couple hours mprime -t, couple hours unigine-valley and now idling most of the time.
I wouldn’t call this completely fixed because it still needs the flags to work and it also drains more power than it would without them. But for now I would say this is the solution for anyone on mobile RR.
"rcu_nocbs=0-7" and "processor.max_cstate=1" in grub.you know I was working on this myself and I found when I suspend then resume the hung machine it recovers, which I thought was interesting.
I didn’t even think of that. Mostly because suspend always broke something for me. So the first thing I do is just disable that. But it does make sense of course, the system was “suspended” anyway and kicks back into gear when you resume. … Damn, should have thought of that.
Oh also, on my machine no input was working when the freeze happened.
How did you suspend it? SSH?
power button is setup to suspend
Huh, powerbutton had no effect on my machine, was setup to power off.
What machine was that? I’m on the Lenovo Ideapad 720s.
you might have to configure it on your distro… this is umm raw motheroardish.
Yeah, like I said, that did not work for me. It was configured to power off without any dialog or confirmation and it did nothing. Must be device specific then.
I actually tried that before. Didn’t work with my Envy x360 at least. Power button is indeed set to sleep. If I remove the rcu and cstate code it sleeps, wakes up, and even hibernates with no issue, but crashes randomly. If the code is in there I lose power management and sleep but at least the laptop works. So far everything is looking well with rcu_nocbs and cstate max 1.
Moving from an Acer Aspire S7 (great laptop but dual core haswell and 8gb ram) to this has been heavenly. I’m hoping for a fix for this issue soon but that’s all.
Linux 4.17 is now mainline.
I doubt it’s gonna fix the issue since non of the rc kernels did, but I am compiling as we speak and will test and update everyone.
EDIT: It crashed as expected.
Today’s my birthday so I’m gonna have some fun instead of testing lol.
But when I’m done I wanna see which C-State is causing the issue by going from max_cstate=1 to 6. 6 will probably fail but I do wanna test out. Will update as soon as I find anything.
EDIT 2:
The forum is not letting me post because I am a new user 
I can only edit.
Note that for the rcu_nocbs line to work you need to enable the option during kernel compile-time.
Look here for reference.
https://blog.programster.org/ubuntu-16-04-compile-custom-kernel-for-ryzen
Arch Kernels have it enabled by default AFAIK
EDIT 3:
I tested with processor.max_cstate as 5 down to 1. The only stable one is 1, any other value and it crashes.
Add “rcu_nocbs=0-7” and “processor.max_cstate=1” in grub.
For me it doesn’t work =( Before it used to hang only under high loads, now it hangs randomly by web-surfing too.
What is your hardware and software specs exactly?

Thanks for any help
Huh, so this also happens on the desktop APUs? Didn’t realize that.
I am guessing you are on the latest UEFI?
Can’t you just disable C-states in the BIOS?
Oh and since the 2200G has only 4 threads it must be rcu_nocbs=0-3
Yes, i have latest UEFI and i tried already rcu_nocbs=0-3 - it remains the same.
I’ll try to disable C-states in the BIOS. Thanks
So I installed Fedora and am testing kernel 4.18rc1.
It seems the issue has not been fixed yet. I will start testing with what kernel parameters are needed for this.
In the meantime, 4.17 works perfectly with the two parameters I posted two weeks ago.
Thank you guys for investigating this issue when AMD doesnt.
I recently bought an Acer Swift 3 with Ryzen 5 2500U and installed Linux Mint 19 on it.
Using latest Kernel 4.17 and Mesa version but Im still having the same freeze issues when watching youtube videos. I will try the suggested workaround and report on it.
