Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-48squeeze4
Severity: important
Tags: fixed-upstream, patch
Xeon E5 has a bug, it doesn't reset TSC on warm reboot, just keep it instead.
see "BT81. X X X No Fix TSC is Not Affected by Warm Reset"
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/xeon-e5-family-spec-update.pdf
And also kernel 2.6.32 has a bug.
Xeon bug + kernel bug = hung after warm reboot (or kexec) after 208.5 days
since booting. So, administrators should shutdown it once at all, then
boot it again because "shutdown -r" causes hang up.
Red Hat has released a fix for this as kernel 2.6.32-220, 2.6.32-279
and 2.6.32-358 series (RHEL6.x)
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/433883 (for detail subscriber only :-(
Attached patch is based on upstream patch.
see
http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/patch/?id=9993bc635d01a6ee7f6b833b4ee65ce7c06350b1
Please look into it and update.
Thanks.
