BTW I always see (mostly only on screen, sometimes in the logs):

[Firmware Bug]: cpu 2, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x10400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 2, IBS interrupt offset 0 not available (MSRC001103A=0x0000000000000100)
[Firmware Bug]: using offset 1 for IBS interrupts
[Firmware Bug]: workaround enabled for IBS LVT offset
perf: AMD IBS detected (0x0000001f) 

But I hope that it is only a harmless warning. 
(perf Instruction-Based Sampling)

Robert?
