Another GL program segfaults with a similar pattern.


Thank you for any help you can provide.
Comment 1 Jose Fonseca 2011-11-02 23:46:35 UTC 
llvmpipe hasn't received much testing or any attention on POWERPC.  I'm not even sure how robust is LLVM support for POWERPC.


Does it work any better on regular X, as opposed to Xvnc?

If you do

    export GALLIUM_DRIVER=softpipe
    export DRAW_USE_LLVM=no

then does it work.

Also, please install the debugging symbols so that we can have a stack trace with symbols.

Thanks very much for your help. 

I dont know if "real X" works; I dont have root access. I asked the admin to install a few debug libraries. Here is the result:

On your other question:

export GALLIUM_DRIVER=softpipe
export DRAW_USE_LLVM=no

this makes it work OK with Xvnc. Thank you!
Comment 3 Ben Crocker 2018-01-27 23:09:42 UTC 
This is (or was) a bug in the LLVM pipe; it has nothing to do, per se,
with Xvnc.  The stack trace indicates a call to the runtime-compiled
vertex shader program.

A lot of development has gone into both Mesa and LLVM since 2011;
Mesa is up to version 17.3.4 (and work is underway on 18.0), while
LLVM is up to version 5.0.1.

I have not seen a crash in glxgears since the beginning of my tenure
at Red Hat.  While there was a period in late 2016 to mid-2017 when
glxgears geometry was broken on big-endian platforms, that problem was
fixed in Mesa 17.2.1 ca. September 2017.

If at all possible, could you retest with the newest Mesa and LLVM,
so we can close this as RESOLVED?

  Thanks!
  Ben
