strace output

Hi,

I am using the radeon r600 driver on an integrated AMD GPU listed by lspci as
[AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 7340].
It is the GPU part of the AMD E2-2000 APU.

I am on an up-to-date x86-64 Arch Linux [testing] system:

***
mesa 11.1.0
xf86-video-ati 7.6.1
xorg-server 1.18.0
libdrm 2.4.65
llvm 3.7.0
linux 4.3.3
(corresponding 32 bit versions are installed where applicable)
***

While trying to play the Steam game "Gods Will Be Watching", I encounter a hang at the start of chapter 1 with no progress being made at the black screen showing "One Year Ago". This happens whenever I try to load the saved game at that point. Enabling LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE allows the game to progress (but at an extremely low frame rate, of course). It does not matter whether I am using DRI2 or DRI3.

Attached is the strace output with me killing the process at the end. I currently do not have debug versions of the libraries installed, so the gdb backtrace is pretty useless, and I am not sure if I captured the right moment:

Thank you for your work on the open source Linux graphics stack. It is very much appreciated.

With kernel 4.4 and mesa 11.1.1, the game continues for another 2 seconds after the black screen fades out and then hangs again. Strace is pretty much identical to the one attached to the original report. Race condition?

I just tested with Mesa 12.0.1, libdrm 2.45.0, kernel 4.7, libdrm 2.4.70 and the hang seems to be gone. I am marking this bug as fixed.

Thank you for your work!
