Description Zhang Le 2009-05-07 13:45:42 UTC
I haven't found a specific sequence of actions which could reproduce this for sure.

After startx, drag any window on the screen back and forth several times, the system will hang, but you don't know exactly when it will hang.

When the system hangs, I got this message on stdout:
exaCopyDirty: Pending damage region empty!

I will attach the xorg.conf I am using and the Xorg.0.log produced.

The Xorg.0.log is too large, I bzip2'ed it.

BTW, please take a look at this picture:

There are some black lines which should not exist.

Any idea?
Comment 4 Francisco Jerez 2009-05-08 02:03:23 UTC
Does it work right when using XAA instead of EXA?

You might also try:
> Option "NoAccel"

or
> Option "MCLK" "0Hz"
Comment 5 Zhang Le 2009-05-08 09:47:52 UTC
I have tried XAA, NoAccel and OHz, but no luck, :(.

Also I found sometimes, this "exaCopyDirty: Pending damage region empty!" happened before the crash.

It is very strange that it crashes with acceleration disabled. Could you attach the logs generated with some high verbosity level (like "-logverbose 7") and both config options? Like:

> Option "NoAccel"
> Option "MCLK" "0Hz"

Thanks.
Comment 7 Francisco Jerez 2009-05-10 11:48:40 UTC
Is there any specific application that tends to trigger it? Does it also happen when you leave the X server idling without any clients, not even a window manager?

To discard that this is a duplicate of #15898 (It doesn't sound like the same, but just to be sure), you might try something like:
$ xset dpms force off; sleep 1; xset dpms force on

Does that hang your computer?

I have tried in Depth 24 and 16, in both situations the system won't hang. Just that, "xset dpms force on" can't light the screen, I have to touch the keyboard to light the screen.

I haven't found any specific application which tends to trigger it.
If I start X alone, then the system won't hang.

Also I found if I mount the partition where log resides as sync, it became harder to hang the system.

You could try to use something like "x11perf -repeat 1 -all" to find out if there is an specific request that tends to hang your server.

I think I would do it with acceleration disabled (Option "NoAccel" set in the "Device" section) and no wm running, to avoid other interactions.

Yes, I have been using these two options:
> Option "NoAccel"
> Option "MCLK" "0Hz"

X got bus error. The last three line was:

 160000 reps @   0.0497 msec ( 20100.0/sec): Char in 80-char rgb core line (Charter 10)

  22400 reps @   0.2502 msec (  4000.0/sec): Char in 30-char rgb core line (Charter 24)

 480000 reps @   0.0106 msec ( 94500.0/sec): Char in 80-char rgb core line (Courier 12)

I will try to fix it and run x11perf again.

Comment 13 Zhang Le 2009-05-18 23:20:29 UTC
I found this test tends to crash X when 16 depth is used:

x11perf -repeat 1 -scroll10

Sometimes bus error, sometimes segfault, sometimes completely hang.

It works well if 24 depth is used.

You might be able to get a backtrace if you run the server with gdb and it doesn't completely hang. That might be useful.

I forget to save the core file I generated previously. The current core file can't give any useful information. 
(gdb) bt
#0  0xbe754028 in ?? ()
#1  0xbe754028 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

The previous core file does not make sense to me. It segfaults because it tries to load a value from 0xffffffff. The correct address in in memory as can be seen from core file, and the assembly insn sequence to load the address seems correct too. Don't know why the loaded address would become 0xffffffff.

BTW, I found this command is enough to crash X:
x11perf -scroll10

Also I have tried -sync options and found that no matter the system completely hangs or just bus error/segfault, it happens at a XCopyArea call in DoScroll function. I will trace into that function to find what's really going on.

And, with 24 Depth, x11perf -scroll10 works well.
Comment 16 rixed 2010-02-02 11:00:17 UTC
I'm experiencing the same problem. I've compiled with debug symbols an xorg-server 1.6.5 and got this, attaching X with gdb and running x1perf -scroll10 :

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
0x2b1914a4 in _fbGetWindowPixmap (pWindow=Cannot access memory at address 0x4002e02c
) at fbscreen.c:88
88	}
(gdb) bt
#0  0x2b1914a4 in _fbGetWindowPixmap (pWindow=Cannot access memory at address 0x4002e02c

)
    at fbscreen.c:88

But I think the real problem happens earlier since, although the bus error seams to trigger instantaneously, the display is already wrong (there is a wrong pattern of approximately 8x80 pixels in the bottom left of the picture).

Also, sometimes the system just hangs completely, usually without anything on the kernel console, yet once I got this :

spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ13.

I wouldn't be surprised if on this hardware (lemote yeeloong) irq13 were bound to the SM712 (got to check this).
Comment 17 rixed 2010-02-02 11:29:17 UTC
Another time I was more lucky :

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x10216c58 in getDrawableDamageRef (pDrawable=0x10378ed8) at damage.c:92

Also :

(gdb) l
87	    if (pDrawable->type == DRAWABLE_WINDOW)
88	    {
89		ScreenPtr   pScreen = pDrawable->pScreen;
90	
91		pPixmap = 0;
92		if (pScreen->GetWindowPixmap
93	#ifdef ROOTLESS_WORKAROUND
94		    && ((WindowPtr)pDrawable)->viewable
95	#endif
96		    )
(gdb) p *pDrawable
$1 = {type = 0 '\000', class = 1 '\001', depth = 16 '\020', 
  bitsPerPixel = 16 '\020', id = 2097153, x = 3, y = 0, width = 600, 
  height = 600, pScreen = 0x10302e28, serialNumber = 11}
(gdb) p pScreen
$2 = (ScreenPtr) 0xffffffff

This is strange since it was compiled with -O0 !?

(just in case its informationnal).

The places are not always the same, the error (segfault or bus error or hang) not always the same neither, sometime the whole register set seams bogus (including stack pointer)...

Notice that here also it works well if depth is 24 or 8. I didn't found any other config parameter that seams to have any influence.
Comment 18 rixed 2010-02-02 12:18:56 UTC
If someone want to have a look I've got a core file now.
Download it here :

http://happyleptic.org/~rixed/X_siliconmotion_core.tgz

It again crashed after the ProcCopyArea()

Also, while playing with this bug I got another spurious IRQ13.
Not sure it's related.

I also changed x11perf test windows to no be clipped and moved them away from screen border (thus video memory borders) but this didn't change anything.
I also noticed that the bug seams to hangs the machine if you exec X in 16bpp after a fresh rebbot, but not if you first run X in 32 then kill it and restart at 16. You can then do many experiments before hanging the host.

I keep looking for clues...
Comment 19 Francisco Jerez 2010-02-02 12:46:06 UTC
It would be interesting to know what happens with some other DDX, e.g. xf86-video-dummy.
Comment 20 rixed 2010-02-02 13:07:27 UTC
As for the strange register that gets the value 0xffffffff from nowhere, could it be possible that the 16bpp code triggers an exception that's not handled properly by kernel or hardware, thus leaving -1 in a register ?
I can't think of any other explanation for now.

I already tried fb driver at 16bpp and it worked allright.
Comment 22 rixed 2010-02-03 03:14:09 UTC
All bugs I was able to catch with gcc seamed to be related to the stack being corrupt assynchronously. For instance, 0xffffffff is present on the stack instead of a valid address in this kind of instruction sequence :

lw v0,4(s8) ; load the word at offset 4 from the stack frame pointed by s8 into v0

lw v0,0(v0)  ; dereference it, successfully
...do other reads...
lw v0,4(%s8) ; relead the same value that was not modified
lw v0,0(v0)  ; <- segfault here, v0=0xffffffff and you can see with gdb x cmd that $s8+4 actually holds 0xffffffff.

So my theory is that when copying an area, some pixels get written to the stack addresses (0xffffffff would be a pixel, and the stack appears to be not very far from the /dev/mem mmapping used to access video memory), but with different cache settings so that the former correct values were read from the stack up to some point when the cache gets refreshed ?

I've looked into xorg-server CopyArea code for some other kind of assynchronous memory writes but couldn't find any (no hardware ROP nor DMA transfert and no pixman).

Comment 23 rixed 2010-02-03 11:05:42 UTC
Even more simple case of magick :

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x2ac4a118 in pixman_region_selfcheck (reg=0x4008802c) at pixman-region.c:2415
2415	    if ((reg->extents.x1 > reg->extents.x2) ||

Dump of assembler code for function pixman_region_selfcheck:

0x2ac4a118 <pixman_region_selfcheck+32>:	lh	v1,0(v0)

So we segfaulted here, right after storing a0 (reg address) into stack, re-read it into v0, then trying to dereference v0. Now guess what :

(gdb) info registers
                  zero               at               v0               v1
 R0   0000000000000000 ffffffffcfffffff 000000004008802c 00000000103888e8 
                    a0               a1               a2               a3
 R4   00000000103888e8 000000002acb1770 00000000103894b8 000000000000000a 

v0 is 4008802c thus the segfault, but a0 is correct (103888e8), and the stack
location holds :

(gdb) x $s8+32
0x7f978ce0:	0x4008802c

The wrong one !
(notice how those wrong values appearing in the stack are always either 0xffffffff or 0x400XXXXX).

So either "sw a0,32(s8)" is boggus, or some vicious interrupt changed the stack just after that, of we were jumping to this instruction from somewhere else.
Notice that the other values on the stack seams allright, the stack frame is OK, so I do not believe we came here after a misplaced jump.

This bug is driving me mad. I'm not familiar with mips nor X11, but this looks magick to me.
Comment 24 rixed 2010-02-03 13:48:07 UTC
If an X11 guru would like to check this code of ftBlt I would be thanksfull, since when I comment it out scroll10 test works :

    if (alu == GXcopy && pm == FB_ALLONES && !reverse &&
            !(srcX & 7) && !(dstX & 7) && !(width & 7)) {
        int i;
        CARD8 *src = (CARD8 *) srcLine;
        CARD8 *dst = (CARD8 *) dstLine;

        srcStride *= sizeof(FbBits);
        dstStride *= sizeof(FbBits);
        width >>= 3;
        src += (srcX >> 3);
        dst += (dstX >> 3);

        if (!upsidedown)
            for (i = 0; i < height; i++)
                MEMCPY_WRAPPED(dst + i * dstStride, src + i * srcStride, width);
        else
            for (i = height - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                MEMCPY_WRAPPED(dst + i * dstStride, src + i * srcStride, width);

        return;
    }

The code that follow handle correctly this case as well as the more general case anyway.

I'm currently running the whole x11perf test suite, but anyway I managed to display reddit homepage in firefox without any destroyed glyphes (wrong glyphes was the main manifestation of the bug for me), so it's clearly better without this code.
Comment 25 rixed 2010-02-03 16:42:32 UTC
OK, so now I recomplied all my xorg server with usual CFLAGS, with the above code commented out.

I keep get the wrong glyphes (black lines on top of some chars) but only with the EXA acceleration. If I choose NoAccel or XAA it works allright (so far).

With EXA some fonts are corrupt and after a while the computer freeze.

With XAA, so far so good.
Comment 26 rixed 2010-02-04 06:41:55 UTC
The cited code apparently cause problem since source and dest copied lines are allowed to overlap. Replacing memcpy in fb/fb.h by memmove solve the problem when NoAccel.

Still got to look for what's causing EXA accel mode to crash.

I noticed that the memory barrier for mips is merely a sequence of nops.
I got to check on the manual, but I guess it's inappropriate for the loongson.
Comment 27 Matt Turner 2012-05-13 09:34:57 UTC
I'm seeing this too on my Yeeloong, SM712.

Thanks to rixed for putting 'spurious 8259A interrupt' in his post, that's how I found this bug.

I've started using Depth 24 (which requires putting Virtual 1024 600 into xorg.conf so that it allocates a 1024x600 framebuffer instead of 1024x1024 which won't fit into the VRAM given the tiny amount needed by the cursor).
Comment 28 Petr Pisar 2012-08-14 18:52:20 UTC
As XAA has been removed from xorg-server-1.12.99, the EXA remains and I experience lock-ups when using any GTK2 application (Loongson MIPS, 16 bpp depth). The common visual symptom is that some widgets (icons, shaded buttons) gets corrupted. I suspected pixman, but downgrading pixman or disabling Loongson optimized paths in pixman did not help. So I think it has something to do with SMI driver.
Comment 29 Tom Li 2014-05-30 03:01:30 UTC
Same problem here.

I'll try the solution from Comment #24.
Comment 30 Tom Li 2014-05-31 15:50:37 UTC
After some tests, I realized that I have found another issue.

It can be reproduced by

    x11perf --copywinpix100

then the system will completely hang.

The last logs from X is:

> SMI_SetupForSolidFill
color=0000FFFF rop=03
DPR14 = 0000FFFF
DPR34 = FFFFFFFF
DPR38 = FFFFFFFF
< SMI_SetupForSolidFill
> SMI_SubsequentSolidFillRect
x=3 y=0 w=600 h=600
DPR04 = 00030000
DPR08 = 02580258
DPR0C = 800000F0
< SMI_SubsequentSolidFillRect
> SMI_AccelSync
< SMI_AccelSync
(completely hang)

The last SMI_AccelSync returns. Then what up? Because the system is completely hang, neither SysRq or networking is not work. So I can't know the next function's name.

But running with depth 24 doesn't have this problem.
Comment 31 Tom Li 2014-05-31 15:52:50 UTC
I'm using the old version of X with XAA. So the problem can't cause by EXA.
Comment 32 Tom Li 2014-06-01 13:27:49 UTC
When the kernel hangs, I got

    [ 1222.876000] spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ0.

from netconsole.
Comment 33 Tom Li 2014-06-01 14:12:52 UTC
I attach gdb to a running X server, then set a breakpoint and use

    while 1
       shell sleep 0.1
       next
    end

to see which line of code crash the machine.

437     in /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.4-r3/work/xorg-server-1.11.4/dix/dispatch.c
438     in /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.4-r3/work/xorg-server-1.11.4/dix/dispatch.c
439     in /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.4-r3/work/xorg-server-1.11.4/dix/dispatch.c
(hang)

Code:

437  result = XaceHookDispatch(client, client->majorOp);
438  if (result == Success)
439      result = (* client->requestVector[client->majorOp])(client);

So, a memory dereference crashes the machine. It may means some areas of memory was destroyed by the buggy driver.

and luckily, this time, a kernel panic occurred instead of completely hang:

It is not a problem of XAA implementation. If I use NoAccel, it also crashes.

Comment 36 Tom Li 2014-06-01 16:28:03 UTC
With EXA, I got corrupted fonts when running any GTK applications, and the kernel will recive an IRQ interrupt, then system will hang completely after a while.

But, for x11perf --copywinpix100 test, it works fine. It is very strange.

It isn't a memory corruption issue, I think. I said the system hang at:

in fact, it hangs at:

                 srcBpp, dstBpp, (pbox->x1 + dx + srcXoff),
                 (pbox->y1 + dy + srcYoff), (pbox->x1 + dstXoff),
                 (pbox->y1 + dstYoff), (pbox->x2 - pbox->x1),
                 (pbox->y2 - pbox->y1)))
                goto fallback;
            else
                goto next;
        }

So I think there was something wrong with pixman.

I recompiled pixman with:

    USE="-loongson2f" emerge pixman

and all the problems go away.
