Ryzen is a multithreaded, high performance processor manufactured by AMD. The first generation based on the Zen microarchitecture (µarch) was released in Q1, 2017 as Ryzen 1000 series. A refresh called Zen+ was released in Q2, 2018, as the Ryzen 2000 series. The second generation is the Ryzen 3000/4000 series, based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture, and was released in Q3, 2019. The third generation aka Zen 3 microarchitecture was released in Q4, 2020. The Ryzen 5000 series features processors of the Zen 2 and the Zen 3 microarchitectures.

Earlier version of kernel were not tried(experimental kernel due to AMDGPU drivers are needed for newest AMD video card). Booting with keyboard that requires 2 USB connectors fails at GRUB time. Workaround - disconnect keyboard until kernel is loading. Once kernel started, keyboard can be connected as usual. At this time it's not clear if problem is related to CPU or motherboard of keyboard or combination. On same motherboard/keyboard but with Ryzen 5 - it worked fine. |

To install the Zen microcode, emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware:
root #
emerge --ask sys-kernel/linux-firmware
The firmware blobs will need to be added to the kernel in order to be loaded.

<*> AMD SoC PMC driver
For Zen 3 (or newer) CPUs, an alternative AMD P-State driver can be used instead of the traditional ACPI driver. AMD P-State supports the schedutil and ondemand governors for dynamic frequency control. See upstream's documentation for more information.
Power management and ACPI options --->

<*> AMD Processor P-State driver
While configuring the kernel, it is a good idea to build in any appropriate AMD microcode updates needed by the CPU.
Those using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources with the experimental
USE flag will have additional Processor family options made available:
Processor type and features --->
Processor family --->
(X) AMD Zen (MZEN)
( ) AMD Zen 2 (MZEN2)
( ) AMD Zen 3 (MZEN3)
This enables -march=znver1
(MZEN), -march=znver2
(MZEN2) or -march=znver3
(MZEN3) to be set for the kernel's make process.
Alternatively,
Generic-x86-64
can be set in the Processor family for more generic CPU support. In theory this would make the kernel binaries portable in the event that it would be use on CPUs other than AMD Ryzen.For APUs, processors which include graphics, additional configuration is required. See AMDGPU for further information.
Configuration
GCC
GCC 10.3 and newer
The znver3
compiler optimization for Zen 3 was introduced in GCC 10.3[1].
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=znver3"
GCC 9.2 and newer
The znver2
compiler optimization for Zen 2 was backported from GCC 10.
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=znver2"
GCC 6.3 and newer
GCC 6.3+ has support for the znver1
compiler optimization. For optimal performance, this can be enabled in make.conf.
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=znver1"
GCC 6.3/6.x is presently not optimized for Ryzen,[2] neither is GCC 7.[3] GCC 8 brings some "znver1" optimization,[4][5] as does GCC 9.[6] You may experience issues when compiling.
GCC 5.4
While GCC 5.4 does not support Zen core specific optimization, -march=bdver4
has been shown to be functional and stable. However, since Zen dropped the instruction set extensions FMA4, TBM, XOP and LWP, they should be disabled accordingly:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=bdver4 -mno-fma4 -mno-tbm -mno-xop -mno-lwp"
Previously
-march=haswell
was said to be functional with Zen[7], but a Gentoo developer experienced various SEGVs with this option.The use of bare
-march=bdver4
was said to be functional without issues, nevertheless it may still produce faulty code due to the lack of before mentioned instruction set extensions. Bulldozer has them, Zen does not.Optional, but may produce better code: Add new instruction set extensions introduced with Zen individually (ADCX, RDSEED, MWAITX, SHA, CLZERO, XSAVEC, XSAVES, CLFLUSHOPT, POPCNT), using -march=bdver4
(Bulldozer Version 4 i.e. Excavator) as the starting point:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=bdver4 -mno-fma4 -mno-tbm -mno-xop -mno-lwp -mclzero -madx -mrdseed -mmwaitx -msha -mxsavec -mxsaves -mclflushopt -mpopcnt"
Drivers for lm-sensors
The HWMON (lm-sensors) driver for ASUS motherboards of this class are currently not part of the kernel. Consider using the asus-wmi-sensors driver available under https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors. Please also check if the motherboard is supported or not.
An ebuild is available using an overlay. Add it with either:
root #
eselect repository add nightdragon_layman git https://github.com/NightDragon1/nightdragon_layman.git
or:
root #
layman -o https://github.com/NightDragon1/nightdragon_layman/master/layman.xml -f -a nightdragon_layman
Alternatively there is a community ebuild repository available:
root #
mkdir -p /etc/portage/repos.conf
root #
wget -O /etc/portage/repos.conf/gyakovlev.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gyakovlev/gentoo-overlay/master/gyakovlev.conf
or:
root #
curl -Lo /etc/portage/repos.conf/gyakovlev.conf --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gyakovlev/gentoo-overlay/master/gyakovlev.conf
Troubleshooting
Ryzen 1700 series
Segmentation faults during compilation
If segmentation faults (segfaults, short SEGVs) are encountered frequently on Zen it might be anything from a software bug to a hardware bug. Since the CPU is under heavy load during a compilation process, this is most commonly the very time to discover such recurring SEGVs. With certain adjustments it may be possible to mitigate these segfaults—there have been reports of success and failure.
When encountering frequent SEGVs, please first ensure the most recently compiled binutils is selected via
user $
eselect binutils list
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.27 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.28 *
If an early CPU batch is affected (2017), it should be/have been replaced through RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) which AMD provides on its website. The recommendation to disable all overclocking and set proper timings for RAM is only for systems that were overclocked—at the designated speed CPU and RAM will not produce recurring SEGVs!
Faulty hardware
As of 2017-08-08 AMD confirmed a problem residing inside the Ryzen processor itself. This problem should only affect the very few early Ryzen batches that were produced (available and sold mid-2017). AMD confirmed the issue[8][9] and RMA was possible within the warranty period.
The following was only applicable to mitigate CPUs that produced segfaults due to faulty hardware. For replaced CPUs and newer revisions, none of the following is recommended!
- Consider downgrading or upgrading the BIOS/UEFI to the most stable.
- Some motherboards' BIOS/UEFI setups have an option to disable OPCache. This has been observed to limit or stop segfaults albeit with a 5-7% performance cost.
- Some users have reported that disabling ASLR resolves the segfault issues. This can be done at runtime by issuing echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space and to make it permanent:
kernel.randomize_va_space = 0
Related forum topics: 1 and 2. And a Phoronix forum topic.
No longer necessary, but left here as general information on the issue:
Ryzen users could fill out the Gentoo and Ryzen config and stability questionnaire to help out collecting data.
See also the datasheet generated from above questionnaire.Soft freezes on 1st gen Ryzen 7
Problem: First generation Ryzen 7 systems will mysteriously soft freeze after a period of time.[10] Keyboard and mouse do not respond to input, output on the display freezes. System requires a hard reset (pressing the reset button on the case, pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds, or pulling the power cord) in order to unfreeze. This is specifically an issue with freezing kernel, and not segfaulting.[11]
Solution: This issue may be correctable by disabling c6 power states in the motherboard's firmware or by adjust adding the following kernel symbol, and passing the following kernel cmdline parameter at boot time:
'"`UNIQ--pre-00000026-QINU`"'
Then pass the following kernel commandline parameter at boot time rcu_nocbs=0-15
. This is generally performed with secondary bootloaders such as GRUB or systemd-boot. Alternatively, when booting via EFI stub, parameters set within the kernel's .config file and built into the kernel binary. Refer to the appropriate article for details on updating the system's bootloader configuration.
Another possible fix is to add the following kernel cmdline parameters: clearcpuid=514 rcu_nocbs=0-15 pci=noaer idle=nomwait
Overclocking or wrong settings
When experiencing segfaults on an otherwise healthy system, the following could help to solve the problem:
- Ensure using the newest binutils; an older instance of binutils could be built against older opcode facilitating crashes due to poor linkage.
- Ensure RAM voltage and timing are correct for the RAM; BIOS/UEFI implementations are conservative while performing autosetting.
- Consider downgrading the BIOS/UEFI to the most stable version. ASUS and ASRock have been known to push very beta BIOS/UEFI versions that have shown to be quite unstable.
Random reboots with mce events
Likely due to errata 1109 a Ryzen system may encounter random, spontaneous reboots with MCE hardware errors being logged on startup. An example MCE event looks like this:
Oct 31 11:46:23 fire kernel: [ 0.677235] [Hardware Error]: System Fatal error. Oct 31 11:46:23 fire kernel: [ 0.677439] [Hardware Error]: CPU:10 (17:1:1) MC5_STATUS[-|UE|MiscV|PCC|AddrV|-|-|SyndV|TCC]: 0xbea0000000000108 Oct 31 11:46:23 fire kernel: [ 0.677798] [Hardware Error]: Error Addr: 0x0001ffff810796c0 Oct 31 11:46:23 fire kernel: [ 0.678003] [Hardware Error]: IPID: 0x000500b000000000, Syndrome: 0x000000004d000000 Oct 31 11:46:23 fire kernel: [ 0.678356] [Hardware Error]: Execution Unit Extended Error Code: 0 Oct 31 11:46:23 fire kernel: [ 0.678562] [Hardware Error]: Execution Unit Error: Watchdog timeout error. Oct 31 11:46:23 fire kernel: [ 0.678562] [Hardware Error]: cache level: RESV, tx: GEN, mem-tx: GEN
Suggested workarounds include:
- Adding the kernel boot parameter
idle=nomwait
. Note that any solution that prevents the kernel from executing theMWAIT
instruction will not prevent the issue from occurring 100% of the time, as other code could execute the instruction. - Modifying the "Power Supply Idle Control" setting in the BIOS.
- Consider disabling C-States. This can be done the BIOS/UEFI or with the boot parameter
processor.max_cstate=5
.
