I noted this /after /svn updating my 11.x box to the most-current -STABLE=
:
A bug was diagnosed in interaction of the |pmap_activate()| function
and TLB shootdownIPI handler on amd64 systems which
have PCID features but do not implement theINVPCID instruction. On
such machines, such as SandyBridge=E2=84=A2 and IvyBridge=E2=84=A2
microarchitectures, set the loader
tunable |vm.pmap.pcid_enabled=3D0| during boot:
set vm.pmap.pcid_enabled=3D0
boot
Add this line to |/boot/loader.conf| for the change to persist
across reboots:
To check if the system is affected, check dmesg(8)
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Ddmesg&sektion=3D8&manpath=
=3Dfreebsd-release-ports> for PCID listed
in the "Features2", and absence of INVPCID in the "Structured
Extended Features". If the PCID feature is not present,
or INVPCID is present, system is not affected.
Well, I'm allegedly subject to this:

And I do _*not*_ have it turned off at this moment.
vm.pmap.invpcid_works: 0
vm.pmap.pcid_enabled: 1
But.... I've also yet to see any sort of misbehavior.
So the questions are:
1. What's the misbehavior I should expect to see if this is not shut off
(and it isn't)?
2. Should I take this machine down immediately to reboot it with
vm.pmap.pcid_enabled=3D0 in /boot/loader.conf?
A svn log perusal didn't see anything post the errata date that appears
to be related.... which makes me wonder.
Thanks in advance!
