I've just built a new system with an i7-6700 and nvidia GPU (on proprietary drivers), installing various packages I'm getting segmentation fault. They all seem related to cache rebuilding/update.
Specifically the packages are librsvg and gtk3, the error occurs in post_install with the commands:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
and
gtk-query-immodules-3.0 --update-cache
any ideas? thanks

Something about a combination of newest Intel CPU, mainboards and microcode crashing Linux, persistently.

I read the whole thread, I am not actually experiencing any freez. During install I get the seg fault but the system is not affected in any other way. I'm not sure it is the same issue, but it could be.
One thing is weird though. I see no trace of intel_pstate as scaling driver.

upon further inspection it turned out that basically all gtk apps throw a seg fault on exit.

I believe this is it: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46064

ok, I can't say it's "solved", more of a workaround, but recompiling glibc without --enable-lock-elision seems to be a viable workaround.
sudo pacman -S abs
sudo abs core/glibc
cp -r /var/abs/core/glibc [anywhere-you-want]
cd [anywhere-you-wanted]
nano PKGBUILD # remove the --enable-lock-elision line
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 25EF0A436C2A4AFF
makepkg -ic
# wait compilation time, it might take some time,
It is not clear to me yet if it's nvidia fault or intel's, anyway if glibc gets updated you have to repeat the above until the bug will be eventually fixed.

Thank you, thank you very much!
I was trying to find out how to fix this . I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 too. I was having the same issue: missing icons on GTK applications. Your workaround have made them appear again

glib2 2.46.2 and nvidia 358.16 seem to have fixed this issue. can anyone confirm?

@Matt3o negative, have you actually reinstalled glibc with lock-elision enabled? I tried that, doesn't work here

problem seems fixed for me (lock-elision is enabled), you probably have a different issue
