Xorg.0.log

I tested all other versions released in Gentoo after 1.8.0 and all had the same crash in my hardware. The last stable version to me was 1.8.0. 

Turning off the compositing solves the problem (in KDE alt+shift+F12). In addition I report that it crashes my system starting Firefox, but sometimes it crashes after I started it when I put my cursor over some button that shows a help/info message. 

Using radeonhd or ati (opensource) driver gives the same crash and error message in the Xorg.log. I'm running Linux 2.6.34 vanilla sources from Gentoo in a AMD64 laptop.

My uname -a:

Can you try and bisect which commit from Git server-1.8-branch introduced the problem?

(In reply to comment #5)
> This bug occurs on xorg-server-1.8.2 and xorg-server-1.8.99.905

Thus marking as a blocker for 1.9.

(In reply to comment #8)
As far, as I know, the last working release was xorg-server-1.8.0, so I can suggest, it was this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?h=server-1.8-branch&id=495cec794dad95ed0c79048f3c410ad23e7d5ea4

As far as I remember, there were xorg-server-1.8.0 and xorg-server-1.8.1 ebuilds in Gentoo repo, without any intermediate releases.

Probably another symptom of the glx related memory bug described by me in bug #28181, which persists on xorg-server-1.8.2 also on X86. You may also try to revert commit 0460a76b9ae25fe26f683f0cbff1e4157287cf56 (and fix a single rejection manually) to see if these are really related.

This bug is reproduced on the latest xorg-server-1.9 from this source: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/xserver/xorg-server-1.9.0.tar.bz2

Yes, it fixed! Apparently there is not more crash due to that problem. What I did was download the 1.8 branch and revert just this patch. Now I can enjoy desktop effect s with no crashes.
Thank you all guys!

Also, I'd like to add one more thing. When testing with patch in place (and crashing) every time I logged into my account using KDE 4.4 I got one flicker of an old full screen image (usually last image), even after reboots! Without the patch I see a blank screen (black) instead of an old screen. That may indicate that some part of the video memory has been used without initialization or cleaning. That's my guess.

Kristian, any ideas for fixing this? If not, maybe this should be reverted from the 1.8 and maybe 1.9 branch for now, though that would probably regress other stuff...

Just quickly reviewing the patch itself, this looks wrong:

+    if (pDraw->id != glxDrawableId &&
+	!AddResource(pDraw->id, __glXDrawableRes, pGlxDraw)) {

shouldn't that be an *OR* rather than an *AND* ?

ah wait, no... nevermind... looking at the code in full rather than the change, that hunk makes more sense... hmm...

Does this help?

Hello again.

I'm using xorg-server-1.9 and KDE 4.5.4. Other system parameters you can get from the attached files.

This bug is still reproducible.

I can notice that if I switch off all compositing effects in KDE, all troubles disappear.

Kristian,
How can I apply this patch?

This looks like bug 28181. Does http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-December/016969.html help?

The patches are for the xserver repository. Please ask Gentoo people for help if you don't know how to apply patches to your packages.

Michel,
I've just rebuild xorg-server with this patch, but it doesn't help me...
The trace and error are the same (see Xorg.0.log.old)

Hmm, looks like you may actually be triggering (at least) two separate crashes... The one in Xorg.0.log.old indeed looks more like bug 29792 than bug 28181.

Would be great if you could get more information about that crash with gdb.

Kristian, AFAIK your patched is available in the latest version of the xserver 1.9.902 available in the Gentoo portage however it doesn't fix the problem.

I applied this this patch but it doesn't help here. I guess this is something else.

However I have to mention that this bug is not present in the KMS, kernel 2.6.36-gentoo-r5.

I cannot say for sure, but the bug probably appeared for me when I upgraded to kernel 2.6.37.

The suggestion in this bug report to add options nomodeset radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel worked for me. My notebook doesn't crash any more.

I suppose that applying e.g. the "Refcnt the drawable" patch attached to bug #32822 by Chris Wilson should cure the symptom here too. However, that patch in turn causes a quite large kernel memory whole each time an application is started. Depending on usage pattern, X crashes are at least delayed by hours or even days.

I spoke to fast... the X server is still crashing.

Can you build your server with debugging symbols (CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb3")?  That will provide a much more useful backtrace.

Ok, I first have to find how to do that. My distribution is Funtoo, and I
never had to pass special C flags to ebuild packages.

Thanks.

If Funtoo is a Gentoo derivative, you should be able to edit /etc/make.conf and set your CFLAGS there.  Set it to something like:

CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb3 -Wall -pipe"
#CFLAGS="-Os -ggdb3 -Wall -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
OBJCFLAGS="$CFLAGS"

Then when you want to switch from debug to production CFLAGS, just change which line you have commented out.  You can also specify a "-march=___" value to produce code optimized for your CPU.  See this URL for more info on picking the correct value for -march.

Xorg.0.log with X server compiled with C flags "-march=native -pipe -O0 -ggdb3"

Actually there's a way to specify the CFLAGS for a specific package; this is explained at http://sergiosdj.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/how-to-personalize-a-packages-cflags-in-gentoo/. 

I rebuilt the X server with C flags "-march=native -pipe -O0 -ggdb3". I let the server crash, and here's the new stack trace:

It looks like you're still missing debug symbols.  Make sure you have this set in /etc/make.conf, or portage will strip your installed binaries of the debug symbols you worked so hard to create ;)

FEATURES="nostrip"

I just rebuilt the server with FEATURES="nostrip", and the resulting executables report as not stripped:

The problem is probably due to symlinks introduced by eselect openGL:

/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
/usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.so

I don't know if you also have splitdebug in FEATURES. I had to copy or symlink the debug symbol files to the corresponding library path for libglx,libdri and (I think) libdri2. Anyway, this is a genuin Gentoo problem. Virtually no Gentoo user has gl-related symbols ready when reporting xorg errors. 

Just recovered the script I used to repair opengl -related debug symbols:

#!/bin/bash
pushd /usr/lib64/debug/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions
rm libdri* libglx*
cp ../../../opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/* . -a
popd

I added splitdebug and rebuilt the Xorg server, still no symbols in the stack trace.
There's no directory /usr/lib64/debug on my system.

1/ you would need to install dev-util/debugedit first, else splitdebug 
   has no effect. 
2/ in your comment #43 above, you checked the file  
   "/usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.so" for debug symbols.
   But X did load the module from"/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so".
   So please check if these entries really represent the same file.

Ok, installed package debugedit (version 5.1.9), rebuilt xorg-server with FEATURES="nostrip splitdebug" in /etc/make.conf, but alas, still no symbolic info in Xorg.0.log after X server crashes.

/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is a symbolic link to /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.so, which exists and is not stripped.

Great! Finally here's a stack trace:

If you install your packages with FEATURES="noclean" enabled in /etc/make.conf, portage will not delete the sources after merge, so you won't have all the "can't find source ..." warnings.

Kristian?

see the below.  i made /xorg/xorg-server-1.9.3 from scratch

Mesa-7.8.2/ was a total "B", needed patches, and prevented near close versions of other things (such as glew) from building after they'd alread built successfully

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86810

ANSWER:

$ mv /usr/local /usr/local.old

# ./configure, make clean, make, make install: all targets in depends order
# cd /usr/lib ; rm (all libs+bins that are now in /usr/local)

$ ldconfig

you now have glx that works

however you of course know Mesa projects has a huge nuber of bugs fix since X11R7.6

-----------------------
problem is: to use newer mesa you need to upgrade drm, which likely means getting newest X11R7 (Xorg will fail to build with too early or to late drm), knowing specifically what version of every x.org package (plus their depends) will build without fail (or have patches for).  because getting "the drm+mesa" that works is a "b" and very versional

all that to upgrade mesa for fixes.  why because they keep changing the API in incompatible ways (and or the Makefile(s) like about necessary versions - but you'd need to dig in real deep and test every api fun to know if it's lying)

------------------------
alternate: do not use drm, use "software only mesa", and mabye (maybe) you can upgrade mesa without re-depends (find all right versions and download) and re-build of Xorg + all that depends on Xorg's version 

i have an older "all in silicon GL" card.  excellent when released.  problem was render wares soon release that needed GL version higher than hw had.  and "hal" software meant to fix the problem?  never works.

and for gaming ?  when i game (seldom) i use PS2 (wii, iphone, or what have you) i'd never use a pc - too much damage.

------------------------
PS  i have no idea why you automagically blame Mesa

what application is running when the crash happens ?  what else is "going on" on the desktop ?

it's more likely your application doesn't follow all of the OpenGL specification and takes short-cuts - thus crashes the driver.  luckily for you it didn't freeze the video card !  or did it ?

OOPS

# cd /usr/lib ; rm (all libs+bins+files in /usr/ and /etc/ that are now in /usr/local) (n.i. /etc/fonts which you have to cp from /usr/local/etc)

ldconfig

both X and GL call a program's "call backs"

so GL (hw or software) may pass the instruction pointer to the program running: which may segfault.  (or the driver could seg if program gave GL commands wrong.  much recent work on Mesa is protecting a good api from bad applications)

often programs are not written as client server are all messed up

NOT X client server.  Xorg does that well

a application should not be "inside an X callback".  callbacks may or may not happen - or may happen while being done.  callbacks must be "re-entrant code" (see wikipedia on re-entrant code, recursion, assembler language re-entrant interrupts / code writing)

rather: and application should be stand alone and talk to callbacks / get feedback from callbacks that X invoked (and all callbacks must be re-entrant)

the app must be prepared for the event X client or server forgets it or called it many times and do the right thing.  better yet you should be able to talk to the application from a shell: it's only interface shouldn't be just by X activated button callbacks.  and CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY the programs "code" should not be in any part of the X windows code

see: Open Desktop Adminitrator's Guide  (ODT)

(ps THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS who's callbacks (in earlier versions) were infamous for wierndness and whose libs WERE the cause of failure and who's bluescreens ALWAYS blamed the application when infact, i can prove know for sure and have still: was microsoft released errors)

see: Open Desktop Adminitrator's Guide  (ODT)

RTFM.  read the f manual

now back to GL hardware.  if you have more than one GL window open the program (which isn't inside an X widget - which is autonomous from X) then program should fork a subprogram for each open GL window.  and talk only via/through atomic locked memory / thread locking

my guess is your application does FEW of any of the above

some "trivial" X applications have X code inside widgets (?xmessage?)

however these apps are not as trivial as they appear.  and killing them have no over-all effect on X in the worst case

-----------------------
something like "GL DOOM" can really take down X if it messes up - leave a ton of s allocations un-free and threads open / waiting / looping callbacks

-----------------------
now GTK widget on the other hand cuddles software and is more allowing (takes care of many details of handing X details).  still even a GTK widget code should be aware that the program and x widgets should be client server (in the same way X is designed) with itself.  because even "high level widgets" are not fool proof from a program that doesn't understand re-entrance and client-server separation
