Running recent CURRENT on a Fujitsu Celsius M740 equipted with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 _at_ 3.50GHz CPU makes me some trouble. FreeBSD does not report the existence or availability of AES-NI feature, which is supposed to be a feature of this type of CPU: dmesg [...] FreeBSD clang version 4.0.0 (branches/release_40 296509) (based on LLVM 4.0.0) VT(efifb): resolution 1920x1200 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 _at_ 3.50GHz (3491.99-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin="GenuineIntel" Id=0x306f2 Family=0x6 Model=0x3f Stepping=2 Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> Features2=0x7dfefbff<SSE3,PCLMULQDQ,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,SMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,SDBG,FMA,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,DCA,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,x2APIC,MOVBE,POPCNT,TSCDLT,XSAVE,OSXSAVE,AVX,F16C,RDRAND> AMD Features=0x2c100800<SYSCALL,NX,Page1GB,RDTSCP,LM> AMD Features2=0x21<LAHF,ABM> Structured Extended Features=0x37ab<FSGSBASE,TSCADJ,BMI1,AVX2,SMEP,BMI2,ERMS,INVPCID,PQM,NFPUSG> XSAVE Features=0x1<XSAVEOPT> VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID,VID,PostIntr TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics real memory = 34359738368 (32768 MB) avail memory = 32990359552 (31462 MB) Event timer "LAPIC" quality 600 ACPI APIC Table: <FUJ D3348-A1> FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 12 CPUs FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 6 core(s) x 2 hardware threads Security policy loaded: TrustedBSD MAC/BSD Extended (mac_bsdextended) ioapic0 <Version 2.0> irqs 0-23 on motherboard ioapic1 <Version 2.0> irqs 24-47 on motherboard SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!

[...] This system has the most recent firmware I could find on fujitsu.com. Recent dmidecode doesn't work, it reports [...] root_at_furor:~ # dmidecode # dmidecode 3.0 Scanning /dev/mem for entry point. # No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry. A while ago, I filed a report to Fujitsu's customer service. They stupidly ansered with an extraction of Intel's ARK information regarding the CPU type indicating that the CPU does have AES-NI - they completely ignored the fact that I claimed that this is an hardware malfunction. So, after I reported in I've been using FreeBSD UNIX as the operating system, I received a short answer: UNIX is not supported. So, I'll ask here for some advice and will check the possibility whether FreeBSD is incapable of enabling those features or whether this is a firmware/hardware bug I want Fujitsu to fix. Can someone sched some light on this, please? Are there Haswell XEONs known for bugs like this? Thank you very much in advance, OliverReceived on Fri Mar 17 2017 - 10:36:29 UTC
