[PATCH] x86/pm: Save AMD CPUID leaf 7 across S3
From: Sean Rhodes
Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 07:31:27 EST
Some AMD systems return from S3 with the boot CPU CPUID leaf 7
override MSR reset. On Byte/Cezanne, CPUID leaf 7 EBX becomes
0x219c9fb9 on CPU0 after S3 even though XTEST still raises #UD.
Userspace can then select RTM-optimised glibc paths and fault after
resume.
The x86 suspend code already has a small MSR save/restore list for
firmware-modified MSRs and restores it after resume microcode has been
loaded. Add MSR_AMD64_CPUID_FN_7 for the AMD families that can modify
this MSR during CPU init so the pre-suspend CPUID mask is restored
before tasks are thawed.
This covers family 17h, 19h, and 1Ah: family 17h has the Cyan Skillfish
RDSEED leaf-7 quirk, family 19h covers the observed Cezanne issue, and
family 1Ah has the Zen5 RDSEED leaf-7 quirk.
Tested on StarBook Mk V (Byte/Cezanne, 26.07 firmware):
- without this restore, dmesg showed "ACPI: PM: Low-level resume complete"
and "PM: suspend exit"; the post-S3 CPUID probe showed CPU0 leaf 7 EBX
0x219c9fb9 with hle=1 rtm=1 while XTEST still raised #UD.
- a temporary PM resume hook clearing the same MSR logged
"CPU0 MSR_AMD64_CPUID_FN_7 0x219c9fb9 -> 0x219c97a9"; the post-S3 probe
showed hle=0 rtm=0 on all CPUs.
- this patch booted on Byte and registered the MSR save path; dmesg showed
"x86/pm: AMD family 0x19 CPU detected"; pm_test freezer/devices/platform/
processors/core passed with the same boot ID.
