It would be super awesome of any of those bug reports included whether or not they are using ECC ram. Occasional segfaults from compilers (which touch lots of ram) could be explained by bit errors occurring in memory.

That thread is long, and there are a lot of users reporting the issue, but at least one of them claims that it still happens even with ECC memory.

The one I'm talking about is comment #338 in the AMD community thread: https://community.amd.com/message/2813391#thread-message-281...

That in turn links to this LKML message: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/25/1295

which says: "this problem happens with ECC memory and memtest86 clean memory".

It seems unlikely that issues caused by bit errors in memory would go away when the uop cache is disabled, like so many people are reporting.
