--- Comment #255 from Mark Millard <markmi@dsl-only.net> ---
(In reply to SF from comment #254)

Just reporting a distinct example. . .

The Ryzen 1800X system that I had access to
for a time had water-based cooling that kept
it under 47 degC even during hot summer days
with no air conditioning but doing builds.
(Clearly not true of any days getting near
that temperature in the first place. But it
gives a clue as to effectiveness.) The
power supply was also good. There was only
a basic, low power video card present.

That did not stop the SIGSEGV's, missing
temporary files, having lang/ghc almost
always fail to build, etc. Although, in
general, I seemed to get them somewhat
less often than some folks seemed to be
reporting --other than lang/ghc nearly
always failing fairly rapidly.

[Side question: Have you tested your
ability to repeatedly rebuild lang/ghc
from scratch? It was by far the most
reliable failure that I found (that
was a normal activity).]

But I never observed the panics in normal
operation, not even before the page-avoidance
change was made. However, I was using 64-bit
FreeBSD via Hyper-V with Windows 10 Pro as the
boot OS. That might have caused automatic
avoidance of the problematical page.
(I also did a little VirtualBox activity
instead of Hyper-V activity.)

I tended to assign FreeBSD access to
14 hw-threads in Hyper-V, leaving 2
avoided for Windows 10 Pro availability.

For the vast majority of things I'd left
the BIOS at defaults. For example,
no voltage changes of any kind --nor
CPU frequency changes. AMD Cool' n'
Quiet disabled, SVM Mode Enabled, Core
C6 state disabled. 2nd memory profile
used as-is. 2133 MT/s resulted. (It
was not overclocking-style RAM.) And
that is about it for adjustments.

I no longer have access to that system.
So that has limited what I managed to
explore. It will probably be a month or
so before I've access to a Ryzen system
of some kind again. (A BIOS update
failure also cut into the time I had
on the Ryzen system: motherboard
replacement.)
