From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sweet. I'm switching to Ryzen next week and was hoping to see this resolved just in case.
You'll need to use a bleeding edge kernel to get this patch unless it's backported to older kernels by your distro's maintainers. I doubt this will happen for say Debian or Ubuntu. Instead, you'd have to wait for a new HWE that has this new kernel or whatever the equivalent in Debian is.
Yep. This system will be running Arch so I'm not too worried.
You can also solve this problem by disabling the TPM in the BIOS settings, assuming your motherboard has such a setting. No TPM, no problem.
Yeah. I think I disabled it the day I built my system.
This is the way. Besides these stuttering issues, the TPM is owner-disobedient (there is no way for the owner to extract keys stored in it) and an unnecessary attack surface (which, if breached, gives the attacker unfettered, persistent, and irrevocable access to the entire machine).
