Multiple Performance Monitor Interrupts are Possible on Overflow of
Fixed Counter 0
Problem:
The processor can be configured to issue a PMI (performance monitor interrupt) upon
overflow of the IA32_FIXED_CTR0 MSR (309H). A single PMI should be observed on
overflow of IA32_FIXED_CTR0, however multiple PMIs are observed when this erratum
occurs.
This erratum only occurs when IA32_FIXED_CTR0 overflows and the processor and
counter are configured as follows:
• Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology is enabled
• IA32_FIXED_CTR0 local and global controls are enabled
• IA32_FIXED_CTR0 is set to count events only on its own thread
(IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL MSR (38DH) bit [2] = ‘0)
• PMIs are enabled on IA32_FIXED_CTR0 (IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL MSR bit [3] = ‘1)
• Freeze_on_PMI feature is enabled (IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR (1D9H) bit [12] = ‘1)
Implication:
When this erratum occurs there may be multiple PMIs observed when
IA32_FIXED_CTR0 overflows
Workaround:
Disable the FREEZE_PERFMON_ON_PMI feature in IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR (1D9H) bit
[12].
Status:
For the steppings affected, see the Summary Tables of Changes.
AAO97.
SVID and SID of Devices 8 and 16 only implement bits [7:0]
Problem:
Bits [15:8] of SVID (Subsystem Vendor ID, Offset 2CH) and the SID (Subsystem
Device ID, Offset 2EH) of devices 8 and 16 are not implemented. Only the lower bits
[7:0] of these registers can be written to, though the PCI-e specification indicates that
these are 16-bit registers.
Implication:
Only bits [7:0] of SVID and SID can be written. Bits [15:8] will always be read as 0.
Workaround:
None identified.
Status:
For the steppings affected, see the Summary Tables of Changes.
AAO98.
No_Soft_Reset Bit in the PMCSR Does Not Operate as Expected
Problem:
When the No_Soft_Reset bit in the Power Management Control and Status Register
(PMCSR; Bus 0; Devices 0, 3, 4, 5; Function 0; Offset 0xE4; Bit 3) is cleared the device
should perform an internal reset upon transitioning from D3
hot
to D0. Due to this
erratum the device does not perform an internal reset upon transitioning from D3
hot
to
D0.
Implication:
When the No_Soft_reset bit in the PMCSR register is set or cleared no internal reset of
the device will be preformed when transitioning from D3
hot
to D0.
Workaround:
None identified.
Status:
For the steppings affected, see the Summary Tables of Changes.
