Threadripper 2920x soft lockup

I've went through this thread, and tried to disable c6 state, add idle=halt with no effect. Followed this excellent reprod steps in https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/apw8im/ryzen_freezes_in_linux_even_if_linux_is_in_vm/ It is pretty consistent. However, switching to gcc-8 seems resolved this for this particular reprod steps. With dmesg -w, I was able to capture and verify this is indeed a soft lockup. Attached the dmesg output.

It is a Threadripper 2920x with MSI x399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC with latest BIOS on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.
