Bug Description

An upstream commit added Intel cpu model/microcode checks to disable TSC_DEADLINE due to cpu errata:

commit bd9240a18edfbfa72e957fc2ba831cf1f13ea073
Author: Peter Zijlstra <email address hidden>
Date: Wed May 31 17:52:03 2017 +0200

    x86/apic: Add TSC_DEADLINE quirk due to errata

That commit is included in the Ubuntu kernels starting at artful v4.13. However, the commit includes a check for Skylake Xeons, but the microcode update version number differs based on Skylake Xeon stepping, so an additional commit is required to correctly check the microcode level of both stepping 3 and stepping 4 Skylake Xeons, and disable/enable TSC_DEADLINE appropriately.

Upstream commit that corrects the check is:

commit 616dd5872e52493863b0202632703eebd51243dc
Author: Len Brown <email address hidden>
Date: Wed Oct 11 17:16:04 2017 -0400

    x86/apic: Update TSC_DEADLINE quirk with additional SKX stepping

Without the additional commit, Skylake Xeon stepping-3 cpus with the fixed microcode version will incorrectly have their TSC_DEADLINE disabled.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed-artful'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
