1 FYI :
2
3 Did the microcode update, compiled and installed the 4.9.101 kernel with it.
4 After rebooting, I started having kernel hard lock problems.
5
6 Before compiling / installing kernel 4.9.102, I made an addition to the
7 CFLAGS var in make.conf : -mno-lwp
8 ( 'lwp' is 'Light Weight Profiling' )
9
10 No kernel hard locks after the reboot.
11
12 Lesson Learned :
13 The kernel needs to be compiled, installed, system rebooted,
14 re-compiled, re-installed and re-booted again.
15 Otherwise the kernel compile process doesn't adjust to the removal of
16 instruction sets.
17 The 'make.conf' entry is to catch any other uses, system wide.

20 Config Info :
21
22 Using 'sys-kernel/gentoo-sources' USE flags : experimental modules symlink
23
24 -march=bdver2
25
26 kernel .config settings :
27 # CONFIG_PROFILING is not set
28 CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
29 CONFIG_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER=y
30 CONFIG_KPROBES=y
