[coreboot] Exception on Skylake after enabling ACPI timer emulation

Piotr Król,

I have submitted a patch today to overcome some AP timeout issue.

https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/coreboot/+/26286/

Can you please pick this, and see if you are still seeing timeout issue or not.

I would also interested to know about the number of core you have on your system. I believe timeout count somehow not meeting the max core running time.



Thanks,
Subrata

Hi Surbata,
I'm trying to enable i7-6500 custom hardware and facing exception when boot flow hit enable_pm_timer_emulation which you submitted in Feb 2017. Stack look like that:

I can't find document that describe this MSR, but it seems that something is wrong.

Any ideas for further debugging are welcome.

P.S. According to commit message:
https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/commit/f004f66ca7b0c428c04d60257383
19187cf911fe

It should be tied to review:
https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/18288/

but that link give me error. Gerrit broken or review "disappeared"?
