Description André Oliva 2011-05-27 18:08:05 UTC
This is a bug reported in Launchpad, against the "xserver-xorg-video-ati" package of Ubuntu, on 2011-04-10. There, the bug is marked as Confirmed.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/755791


The symptoms: No 3d acceleration (glxgears shows a black window, Unity [Ubuntu 11.04 3d shell] doesn't start), *but* no fallback into the software-rendering mode (glxinfo reports that the 3d acceleration is working)

The hardware: ATI Radeon RS690M X1200 series

The Operating system: Ubuntu 11.04 (final release) [and Maverick also]. The behavior was also observed in Debian and Fedora 15, as noted in the original bug report (so it seems not to be Ubuntu-specific).

The version of xserver-xorg-video-ati: 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 (default in Natty). Same problems with the xorg-edgers PPA in Natty Beta2. (If you want that I test the lastest packages from git, please give me instructions).

The software affected: Compiz (doesn't start because requires direct rendering); then, Unity (just the wallpaper or black screen and the mouse pointer).. Glxgears, Stellarium, Blender, Adobe Flash Player in fullscreen mode and Visual module of Python work if software rendering is forced (but of course they run very very slow).

The history of the bug: all worked as expected (out of the box) in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but in 10.10 the problems started. The workaround was to disable KMS, but now, in Natty, since the new Gallium driver doesn't have a non-KMS mode, that workaround is not available.

The situations when it works: **sometimes** (??!! please help to determine when!!) the 3d acceleration does work as expected, but at the moment there is no way for us to know when it will work or not [help please!]. And, sometimes the 3d acceleration works but is so slow that it seems to be actually software rendering.

The workarounds: none known. Just enabling temporarily software rendering (as described below), but that really isn't a workaround. In Ubuntu 10.10 the workaround was to turn of KMS. As noted, that doesn't work any more.

There are Xorg.0.log (comment #15 of the original bug report) and screenshots (comment #13 in the original bug report)

Also, the bug was incorrectly marked as a duplicate of the bug #556782 in Launchpad, reported here as the bug 35457 .

Thank you in advance.
Comment 1 Alex Deucher 2011-05-28 07:39:58 UTC
Looks like the radeon kernel module is not loaded before starting X.  The kernel modules must be loaded before starting X.

Comment 3 Alex Deucher 2011-05-30 17:33:43 UTC
In this case KMS is properly initialized.  Is 3D not working?
Comment 4 André Oliva 2011-05-30 20:00:37 UTC
That's right, the 3D acceleration is not working in that case (glxgears results in a black window). But when it does work, the Xorg.0.log looks the same (I'm not sure if something changes).
Comment 5 Alex Deucher 2011-05-30 21:16:29 UTC
Does glxgears work if you disable vsync?

vblank_mode=0 glxgears

Can you also attach the output of glxinfo?
Comment 6 Phil Cole 2011-05-31 04:59:24 UTC
I'm the person experiencing problems on Fedora 15 - I think it's related to this problem.  Only if I include NoModeSet in the kernel parameters will GNOME3 start. 90% of the time only the background appears (no panel, no activities) and then it hangs.  Very occassionally will Gnome4 start, but it soon hangs.

KDE4 will start OK without NoModeSet, this is where the following attachments are from.
  Xorg.0.log-KDE4
  lspci-vv.txt
  lsmod.txt
  glxgears.txt
  glxinfo.txt

Note that under KDE4:
  "glxgears" just gives a black window, without any gears!
  "vblank_mode=0 glxgears" gives the correct output with approx 62-80fps.

==============
p.s. I started to have problems with X hanging completely (in KDE4 or GNOME2) on Fedora 14. X completely locks up, The display no longer updates, but does not become corrupted, but all inputs are blocked.  Only the cursor moves.  The laptop fan comes on 100% and I can only do reboot via the power button to get things moving again.   I am still experiencing these problems with Fedora 15 - setting NoModeSet does not stop this problem occuring.

It looks like interrupts aren't working on your system.  If you run:
cat /proc/interrupts
while running X do you see the numbers increasing for the interrupt used by radeon?
Comment 12 Phil Cole 2011-05-31 08:21:54 UTC
Running cat /proc/interrupts under X does NOT have any increasing numbers for radeon. 

Further info: This problem is intermittent.  On my last reboot I started KDE4, and was able to run "vblank_mode=0 glxgears", "glxgears" and then boot into Gnome3 all successfully. Throughout this /proc/interrupts remained the same for the radeon line.  

See attached*-gnome3-hang.txt files.

No this doesn't make any difference - I still get:  
1. /proc/interrupts doesn't change for the radeon line.
2. "glxgears" gives a black window. "vblank_mode=0 glxgears" works OK.
3. GNOME3 hanging on startup.

"vblank_mode=0 glxgears" works also for me! I can use normal 3d acceleration with that method. Stellarium and Glxgears work well: fast, smooth, as expected. But "vblank_mode=0 compiz --replace" does not work (I get a blank screen with the mouse pointer).

compiz is a script, so you'll probably have to set vblank_mode as a global env var
export vblank_mode=0
compiz --replace

Still, it's just a workaround.  For some reason, interrupts are not working on your system.
Comment 20 André Oliva 2011-05-31 15:42:56 UTC
Ok, with the "export", compiz also starts. I have to say that Compiz is *very* slow... Almost as software rendering. I don't know why... As a workaround, the 3d acceleration works better if the program is started from Metacity (??).

If you aren't getting interrupts, fences won't work properly, so GL will be slow as well since every fence has to time out before it's retired.

I see... Thank you for your explanation...
Comment 23 André Oliva 2011-06-01 17:54:56 UTC
I use also the Visual module of python (vpython.org). It's a module for making 3d simulations, and it uses 3d acceleration. I'm getting an extrange error:

ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.
ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.
r300 FP: Compiler Error:
Ran out of hardware temporaries
Using a dummy shader instead.


when I use "export vblank_mode=0; ipython" and run
  > from visual import *
  > sphere()

(I'm getting a black window, where the simulation is supposed to be)

Everything works well in Ubuntu 10.04. Also, I can run simulations (very slowly) with software rendering (and since the simulations are for scientific purposes, the speed of the simulation is highly important). In another computer with a newer ATI graphics card, the problem is not present.

I would like to know if I get this error because of this bug or this is another issue related with vpython...

That is a different bug.  Please file a different bug report for that.

Here against the r300 gallium driver.
Comment 27 Phil Cole 2011-06-03 08:47:56 UTC
Alex,
I have built the latest radeon driver from git master, and still get the problem of no interrupts in /proc/interrupts. (I do get interrupts on another PC using Radeon HD 4350, RV710.) Can you point me in the direction of where the interrupts might be turned on/off?  Is it by the radeon driver, or elsewhere in the kernel? Thanks.

It could be a hardware or bios problem.  The drm just registers an interrupt handler with the core interrupt code in the kernel and enables device specific interrupt sources.  You don't seem to be getting any interrupts for the radeon chip so it seems like something is set wrong in the northbridge configuration which is usually handled by the bios.  Does your system have a bios upgrade available?
Comment 29 Phil Cole 2011-06-03 17:22:54 UTC
(In reply to comment #28)
> ....  Does your system have a bios upgrade available?

I've just applied the latest BIOS for the HP Compaq 6715b laptop.  I upgraded from F.07 (16/07/2007) to F.0E (25/11/2008) from here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3356624&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3368540&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093

After doing this and a vanilla kernel boot (nomodeset not set), and the latest git radeon driver I get:  (NOTE: this is a two core system)

0. GNOME3 hangs immediately on startup (so tried KDE4).
1. Whilst booting KDE4 can monitor /proc/interrupts in non-X console and see radeon interupts rising for both CPUs.
2. Can use X under KDE4 and notice radeon interrupts rising (when windows moved etc)
3. Then starting "glxgears" or "vblank_output=0 glxgears" under KDE4 gives a blank window and causes interrupts to no longer be registered in /proc/interrupts!  At this point moving windows around becomes noticeably slower. (Sometimes this occurs without needing to run glxgears)
4. Killing X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) back to GDM and restarting KDE4 causes interrupts to start being counted again for radeon in /proc/interrupts. BUT interrupts only increase on CPU0. CPU1 does not increase past that counted in step 3.
5. Starting "glxgears" causes all radeon interrupts to stop being counted in /proc/interrupts.
6. Go to step 4 and repeat!

I also got the following messages in syslog. Note radeon is on irq 19.

So I tried rebooting with "irqpoll" in the kernel options.  KDE4 and GNOME3 (gnome-shell) both run. glxgears gives 50 FPS !!

So, my guess is the kernel/drm/radeon is wedging on interrupt processing.

Sounds like your board bios has screwed up the irq routing which is not something we can fix in the driver unfortunately.

        irqpoll         [HW]
                        When an interrupt is not handled search all handlers
                        for it. Also check all handlers each timer
                        interrupt. Intended to get systems with badly broken
                        firmware running.

But I have never made an upgrade of BIOS, and 3d acceleration worked in Ubuntu 10.04, but now it doesn't work. In fact, right now I can boot into 10.04 and 3d acceleration works. Isn't the driver responsible for that behavior?

Did 10.04 use KMS?  The UMS code did not rely on irqs as much.

See comment #29, upon initial boot the radeon interrupts are firing when first booted, they then stop for 1 CPU when glxgears runs, and then stop totally after X is killed restarted and glxgears re-runs.   What is glxgears doing that affects the routing IRQs in the BIOS???

Yes, 10.04 uses KMS by default.

Bisect the kernel and see what commit broke it.

This thread seems to indicate the cause of stopping interrupts is the dodgy BIOS and ACPI stuff:  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/981060

I'm currently investigating with Fedora 9 & Fedora 10 since *may* be where the problem was introduced.

Adding "noapic" to grub (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub in ubuntu) fix this problem for me. also it fix some skype sound problems.

This isn't software rendering. The speed difference may be due to a different 3D driver (r300g vs classic) / version / build (e.g. r300g with/out LLVM support, check with 'strings /usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so|grep LLVM_') / ...

Comment 49 Michel Dänzer 2011-08-17 03:44:35 UTC
Actually, I think the lack of LLVM support explains the difference: IIRC, without LLVM the Gallium software vertex processing code uses assembly optimizations on 32 bit but not on 64 bit. Current upstream r600g refuses to build without LLVM, so this should clear up on its own at some point. Maybe you can try current oneiric live CDs.

Yes, LLVM support is increased FPS in amd64 and drop it in i386.

So it seems the bug got a bit sidetracked by that speed issue, but regardless of that, the underlying issue doesn't seem to have been addressed: both reporters seem to need the 'noapic' or 'irqpoll' workarounds to get things flying at all. Is anything happening to address the fundamental bug?

When I tried Fedora 15 from Live USB, I could *not* start Gnome 3 (--> bad 3d acceleration --> the same bug) [blank screen and the pinter]. I used uNetbootin to create the Live USB, and even if I tried to add "noapic" to the boot line, it didn't work. Also I tried killing the X server, running "export vblank_mode=0" and "export CLUTTER_VBLANK=none" and restarting X server and also didn't work. Of course, I didn't tried installing Fedora 15, and then retrying the workaround, but at least from Live USB I couldn't make it work.

However, I noticed that when Gnome 3 loads and the freeze happens, and then I press ALT+F2, kill gnome-shell, and then ALT+F8, the Gnome-shell elements (top panel and dash) appear in the screen, but of course I can not use it because I killed the process. It's may be a clue.

Interrupts aren't working on your system for some reason.  That's the issue.  The "freeze" is gnome shell waiting for an event that never comes because interrupts aren't working.

How can I help debug this issue?? I am willing to investigate into any areas that you think may be causing this - I may need some help, e.g. bisect instructions, knowing which versions to try, etc.

p.s. Win7 works OK on the laptop, and does HW accelerated Aero mode.

Presumably the system bios on your board is not setting up the northbridge correctly.  You might see if there is a new system bios for your board.  It would be interesting to find out if windows has working irqs on your board.  We don't currently have a fallback path in the open source driver if irqs aren't working and for certain things it's nearly impossible without irqs.  You might also try the noapic or irqpoll kernel options.  Additionally, if KMS was working with an older kernel, it would be great if you could bisect.
Comment 58 André Oliva 2011-09-10 10:17:33 UTC
I don't think that is the Bios. I have 3 OS on 3 partitions: Windows XP,
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.04. 3d acc works well on Windows and Ubuntu
10.04. It doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.04.

As I mentioned previously, it depends if 10.04 used KMS or UMS.  UMS did not make as extensive use of interrupts as KMS does.  If 10.04 used KMS, then please bisect the kernel to see what commit caused the problem.

Based on here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver and the release notes of Lucid,
I guess that 10.04 used KMS, not UMS.

I have 10.04 still installed in my laptop. Is there a way to check if KMS is been used?

And if so, I'm completely unfamiliar with bisecting the kernel. Could you please give me more instructions about what does it mean and how to do it?
Comment 61 katabami 2011-09-30 20:55:41 UTC
Hi. I'm having this bug. I'm using Gentoo, not Ubuntu.

If kms is in use, Xorg.0.log has the following line:
  [  1776.086] (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.

Very good git bisect tutorial is found here:
http://www.landley.net/writing/git-bisect-howto.html

I may add some more comments after some investigation.

With best regards.
Comment 62 Alex Deucher 2011-10-01 11:20:46 UTC
Older versions of radeon kms did not support vsynced 3D which relies on vblank interrupts in addition to sw interrupts.  You can disable it by setting the env var vblank_mode=0.
Comment 63 katabami 2011-10-02 00:21:14 UTC
Hi. I noticed one peculiar thing: IRQ 19 (radeon's) is almost always frozen at 200001 times:
 $ cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:     409332   IO-APIC-edge      timer
  1:        448   IO-APIC-edge      i8042
  8:          0   IO-APIC-edge      rtc0
  9:        178   IO-APIC-fasteoi   acpi

 17:       9173   IO-APIC-fasteoi   ohci_hcd:usb3, ohci_hcd:usb4, ohci_hcd:usb5, ohci_hcd:usb6
 19:     200001   IO-APIC-fasteoi   radeon
 23:          2   IO-APIC-fasteoi   ehci_hcd:usb1, ohci_hcd:usb2
 42:      30400   PCI-MSI-edge      eth0
NMI:          0   Non-maskable interrupts
LOC:     173250   Local timer interrupts
SPU:          0   Spurious interrupts
PMI:          0   Performance monitoring interrupts
IWI:          0   IRQ work interrupts
ERR:          0
MIS:          0

And it seems when it reaches that number, dmesg "irq 19: nobody cared" appears, though not sure.

I've also seen the number 300001, only once during several rebooting. Except this time, all was 200001. Why step of 100000??

But Phil Cole said above that he has 2 cpus, and the threshold of the attachement[1]  was 281.
[1]https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=47380

"noapic" boot option doesn't help. I tried it only once, and it showed:
11:     200002    XT-PIC-XT-PIC    ehci_hcd:usb1, ohci_hcd:usb2, radeon

(Without noapic, the ERR interrupt is always 0, but with noapic, ERR increases.)


Let me add one more issue, module vs built-in: when I compile the driver "radeon" as a module, kms starts. But if it's built into the kernel, it freezes at the boot time, showing black screen. Keyboard is ignored, and HDD access LED doesn't turn on. I've checked it's the only difference. (In menuconfig, CONFIG_DRM_RADEON being "m" or "y". In the .config file this option will automatically pull in several other flags.)

I tried boot options below, but none worked: "irqpoll", "ioapicreroute", "nohz=off processor.max_cstate=2". (In the past, the last one was necessary for my HP Compaq 6715s, but recent kernels do't require it.)
Comment 64 katabami 2011-10-02 00:44:45 UTC

Thanks in advance.

(In reply to comment #64)
> I found several other "200001" IRQ issues, completely independent of radeon:

That's a red herring I'm afraid: If you look at the code in kernel/irq/spurious.c, this message is generated after 200000 unhandled interrupts, and then the IRQ is disabled. The 100001 and 300001 values probably have the same explanation with different kernel versions or patched kernels.

Unfortunately, this doesn't say anything about what caused the interrupts not to be handled properly in each case.

Any chance you could bisect and track down what commit fixed it?
Comment 68 katabami 2011-10-17 05:05:04 UTC
Sorry, I was wrong. No difference between 2.6.39.2 and 3.0.4.

OTOH, I tried 2.6.32.36, and kms worked, although "EnablePageFlip" "off" was necessary; without it, the screen is black, showing nothing. vblank_mode=0 doesn't affect fps of glxgears.

Below I've attached dmesg of 2.6.32.36 (good) and 3.0.4 (bad).

You'll have noticed both have a line
  radeon 0000:01:05.0: PCI INT B -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
but in the good, there's also a line
  radeon 0000:01:05.0: irq 26 for MSI/MSI-X
and /proc/interrupts says only irq # 26 is used in the good. (In bad, it's 19.)

Comment 75 Alex Deucher 2011-10-17 06:39:11 UTC
Does 2.6.32.36 work correctly if you boot with pci=nomsi on the kernel command line in grub?  How about 3.0.4?
Comment 76 katabami 2011-10-18 02:27:58 UTC
2.6.32 with pci=nomsi:

It's "bad". irq # 19 count is frozen. glxgears draws, but the FPS is reduced 70, while without "nomsi" it was 240. Xorg log is the same. dmesg is same except "irq for nomsi".

I haven't reported this before, but when it's "bad", redraw of my x terminal, urxvt, is snail-slow, and I saw it with "nomsi", too. (I don't need opengl, so this is the biggest trouble for me.)

3.0.4: no much difference with pci=nomsi, it's anyway bad. (In 2.6.39 and 3.0.4, in most cases glxgears is not drawn, showing only black box. But in 2.6.32, every time I tried gears were drawn even with nomsi, but the test is not thorough.)

Most of dmesg differences are trivial, but I quote one hunk here FYI:

Looks like only MSIs work on your system.  Does the attached patch fix newer kernels?
Comment 78 katabami 2011-10-20 18:05:45 UTC
I patched 3.0.4. It's a must-have, but not simple.

It partially fixes. "black box glxgears" nor "irq count freeze" never happen. "pageflip" on-or-off doesn't matter. Xorg.0.log isn't affected. dmesg is the same with unpatched 3.0.4, except MSI:

Glxgears fps is always only 60 (which is 240 with good kms), regardless of "pageflip" or "vblank_mode=0".

But that's not all; The first time I booted the patched kenel, right after udev loaded the module, (I was on VT1) it seemed ok - the screen went high resolution, the previous screen contents were correctly shown, and the cursor continued blinking - but it halted there. Keypresses are echoed to the screen, but Ctrl+Alt+Del didn't work. 

It happened only once, and after that, all 5 boots were successful.

It also seems to have a nice side effect; when kms is enabled in the bad kernel, I often experinced a problem in s2ram, but with your patch s2ram has succeeded in some 10 trials in row. So I think we're in the right direction.
(The problem was that for most times suspend doesn't complete, or takes too long, after the screen turns black.)

Since I don't need opengl, I'm quite satisfied with this patch. =P

Can you try these two patches?  It looks like a platform/bios bug rather than a driver bug since legacy irqs should always work AFAIK, but I'm not sure where the problem lies.  This patch just adds a quirk to always enable MSIs on your system.
Comment 83 katabami 2011-10-26 01:34:46 UTC
Thanks, it surely works, again for 3.0.4.

I forgot to report that built-in driver (= not as modules) doesn't work with 2.6.32, nor with 3.0.4 + your patch.

If someone wants to bisect: it'll take some 18-20 times of kernel compilation, I guess. I've done kernel bisect twice, but both were straightforward. As usual, you can ask helps at forums. You can also ask me by email for basic procedures. (Login here to see my email address.)

Comment 98 Aaron 2012-02-28 19:22:17 UTC
I have this problem with my Radeon 9600XT

I had this problem on an install of Ubuntu Natty and so far the only thing I can confirm with repeatability is that 3D works when the S-video output is 'detected' and doesn't work when it isn't.

If I boot into Windows XP (dual boot) and enable the TV-Out on S-Video (even without a TV plugged in) and then reboot into Ubuntu Natty I get a 2nd screen on S-video showing up in the displays control panel and I get 3D acceleration to work.


I installed a test copy of Ubuntu Oneiric onto a USB HDD and so far haven't had issues with 3D.

HOWEVER: I recently did an upgrade to Oneiric inside the currently-installed Natty and the 3D issue is still present, so perhaps that is from something still there from the old installation?

Again, enabling S-video in Windows and rebooting is the only sure way to make 3D work.


Occasionally it will boot up and detect the S-video and enable 3D by itself but this is not often.

No, you probably don't. This problem is (was? Looks like this report can be resolved now?) specific to RS690 chipsets.

Please file your own report with the usual information attached, i.e. at least Xorg.0.log and the output of dmesg and glxinfo from when the problem occurs (and maybe also from when it doesn't). Please also describe in more detail what exactly "3D acceleration doesn't work" means in your case.

force MSIs for all RS690s

For anyone with an RS690, try this patch and see if it helps.
Comment 104 Nicolas Delvaux 2012-09-27 20:46:08 UTC
On my Acer Emachine e625 laptop, enabling MSI seems to be an improvement.
`vblank_mode=0 glxgears` give me 690 FPS when I had 590 without MSI.

However, the desktop experience (Unity 3D) feels the same with or without it.

Yes, it's work. Can you send this patch in upstream? :)
cat /proc/interrupts

Yes, it's already queued for 3.7 and stable.

I forgot this about my system:
cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:05.0/subsystem_device

Let me know if you need something else.

The patch in attachment 67738 [details] [review] should handle your card.
Comment 109 Nicolas Delvaux 2012-09-30 16:47:01 UTC
Yes, this patch does enable MSI and so does solve most of my problems with this laptop.
Though the patch does not apply as is (at least on the Ubuntu kernel).
Comment 110 Fabio Pedretti 2012-10-13 08:52:13 UTC
Fixed in 3.6.2 / 3.5.7 / 3.4.14 .
