Created attachment 54426 [details] Logs ("dmesg" and "xorg.0.log" for kernels 3.2-rc4 and 3.1 with and without the firmware installed) 1. Steps to reproduce the problem Running Debian Wheezy, by installing the package "firmware-linux-nonfree" which contains the firmware to enable 3D acceleration for the ATI card (M56P Radeon Mobility X1600), when the system starts and user logins, the system crashes (no specific action triggers the crash, is just about time to get it). 2. Symptoms The user receives a "kernel oops" (kernel 3.1) or system hangs with a trace (kernel 3.2-rc4) and system locks. 3. Tested kernels The user has tested kernel 3.1 (Wheezy's stock kernel) and 3.2-rc4 (from Debian's experimental branch). Both kernels expose the same result when firmware is installed. On the other hand, both kernels work fine as soon as the firmware package is unistalled. 4. Additional information The crash has been tracked in Debian BTS #651532 (full link available in the URL field). 5. Attached logs (4 files): - "dmesg" and "Xorg.0.log" for kernels 3.2-rc4 and 3.1 when firmware is installed. - "dmesg" and "Xorg.0.log" for kernels 3.2-rc4 and 3.1 when firmware is not installed. 6. Other considerations Please, note that I am opening the this bug on behalf of another person who is experiencing the crash. For this reason I'm CC'ing to him.
In the future, please attach the dmesg and log files directly. It looks like it's a problem with acceleration (which is available without the firmware). I don't see any oops or backtraces in the logs. Can you attach the oops or get a picture of it? Does setting: Option "NoAccel" "True" in the device section of your xorg.conf fix the problem?

I have asked the user to try with this option while having the firmware package installed, will report back as soon as I get the results.
(In reply to comment #3) > I have asked the user to try with this option while having the firmware package > installed, will report back as soon as I get the results. The user reported that both kernels do work (no crashes) with "firmware-linux-nonfree" installed and using this "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file: *** Section "Device" Identifier "ATI" Driver "radeon" Option "NoAccel" "True" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" DefaultDepth 24 EndSection *** This effectively disables 3D acceleration (which means no "gnome-shell") but the user hasn't experienced any further crash since yesterday.
What version of the 3D driver is he using? You might try a newer 3D driver package. Make sure he is using the r300 gallium driver (r300g).

As he's on Debian Wheezy he has installed "libgl1-mesa-dri (7.11.1-1)" but not sure if this tells you something.

Just need to find out if they are using the classic or gallium driver.
Does the system hang if you remove the NoAccel option but don't load gnome-shell?
Created attachment 54475 [details] [review] glxinfo I'm attaching the full output of "glxinfo".
(In reply to comment #8) > Does the system hang if you remove the NoAccel option but don't load > gnome-shell? Yes, the user has reported that by removing that option from "xorg.conf" file and login into gnome fallback mode (now "gnome classical") the system hung.
(In reply to comment #9) > Created attachment 54475 [details] [review] [review] > glxinfo > > I'm attaching the full output of "glxinfo". Unfortunately, you'll end up with the software 3D driver if you have acceleration disabled. You'll have to find out what debian uses on wheezy (r300c vs. r300g). However, if you still get hangs even without using 3D, there seems to be a problem with acceleration in general on his system.

I can't tell... maybe Jonathan can shed some light here :-) > However, if you still get hangs even without using 3D, there seems to be a > problem with acceleration in general on his system. Curious is that system runs stable (no hangs nor crashes) in gnome fallback mode as soon as "firmware-linux-nonfree" package is removed as stated in #c1. So what we have now is that system does not crash if: 1/ "firmware-linux-nonfree" package is not installed, or 2/ Option "NoAccel" "True" is set at xorg.conf
Mesa in wheezy ships the gallium r300 driver on all Linux architectures.
(In reply to comment #13) > 1/ "firmware-linux-nonfree" package is not installed, or > 2/ Option "NoAccel" "True" is set at xorg.conf These are mostly equivalent, as acceleration is not possible without the microcode with KMS. What might be interesting would be to try GNOME fallback mode with KMS disabled (radeon.modeset=0) with and without firmware-linux-nonfree installed. Please attach dmesg and Xorg.0.log for both cases again. (The r300g driver doesn't work with KMS disabled) BTW, does the GNOME fallback mode end up using the same window manager (Metacity?) with and without acceleration being enabled?

Please > attach dmesg and Xorg.0.log for both cases again. (The r300g driver doesn't > work with KMS disabled) The user reports that he has tried to disable KMS by all these means: - Appending "nomodeset" to kernel line - Appending "radeon.modeset=0" to the kernel line - Appending "modeset=0" to the kernel line - Blacklisting radeon module to avoid from loading But all he gets is a system hang with the following message: *** Could not update ICEautorithy file /var/lib/gdm3/.ICEauthority Closing session *** And that's all. He's now stuck at there, forced to load his MacOS X partition in order to get the system up and running. > BTW, does the GNOME fallback mode end up using the same window manager > (Metacity?) with and without acceleration being enabled? I don't know... anyhow, now I have to help the user to restore back his Debian system to an operating state.
> But all he gets is a system hang with the following message: > > *** > Could not update ICEautorithy file /var/lib/gdm3/.ICEauthority > Closing session > *** As far as I can tell this has nothing to do with graphics drivers. I hit this too with my home partition improperly tagged for some changes in SELinux. It seems to me this is more a problem of wrong file permissions.
(In reply to comment #17) > As far as I can tell this has nothing to do with graphics drivers. I hit this > too with my home partition improperly tagged for some changes in SELinux. It > seems to me this is more a problem of wrong file permissions. Yes, I know, but this problem was caused as a side effect when trying to disable KMS. Anyway, the user can now again access normally to his system (".ICEauthority" file was manually removed and automatically re-created). We're ready to run for more tests but please, remember that we're not developers but plain users, we need some guidance on the given steps.
The user still reports crashes with kernel 3.2.0-rc7-686-pae. I'm attaching the involved files ("syslog" contains the kernel oops). I can tell the user to run whatever tests you estimate convenient, he is very interested in solving this because he can't use GNOME3 and gnome-shell at all and has to work with no 3D acceleration.

I'm attaching the syslog for the kernel oops (starts at line "3911"). Any hint to bypass this crash would be very welcome, the user is going nuts with this issue :-(

It's a GPU lockup. Unfortunately, they tend to be really hard to track down. You might try a newer ddx or mesa.
(In reply to comment #36) > It's a GPU lockup. Unfortunately, they tend to be really hard to track down. > You might try a newer ddx or mesa. We're open to test anything, whatever... but I don't really know what kind of test to suggest to the user, I'm stuck at this point. All we know for sure is that by simply removing the firmware blob it makes the system to run stable but the user needs to have 3D acceleration, otherwise gnome-shell can't run. How could we test a new ddx (sorry to ask but, what's that? :-?) or an udpated mesa without breaking many things?

But... mmmm... the use runs "wheezy" which I guess includes an updated version of the packages (btw, what are the packages we would need to update?), so I don't see the point for getting them from backports.

Whoops, sorry, I should have remembered. Mesa is libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx. The DDX driver is[1] xserver-xorg-video-radeon and libdrm-radeon1, I suppose. One can get fairly recent versions of most packages from sid or experimental. [1] http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Glossary

Anyway, I understand bugzilla is not the best place to discuss this support things (though I thank your efforts, Jonathan and Xorg people) :-) I have finally to surrender. If anyone thinks on anything we can try, you can contact directly to me or add the information here. I leave this bug status at your (@xorg devels) consideration.

Though at the moment they all match wheezy: mesa 7.11.2 libdrm 2.4.30 xf86-video-ati 6.14.3 It should be possible to provide instructions to test a snapshot. Which component in particular has interesting recent changes?

Ok, just to fill in the blanks: was this a regression? Was there a kernel or X or GNOME upgrade before which the system worked fine and after which it broke? X devs: it looks like there are two sets of symptoms here --- sometimes there are GPU lockups, and other times (e.g., the syslog from 2012-01-22) page table corruption with no obvious trouble before that. Questions: - is there any simple way to figure out what exactly is causing the regression? E.g., after starting X without accelaration can we explicitly provoke whatever caused trouble? - is it normal that after a lockup the GPU fails to reset? Even if the GPU lockup itself is not well understood, is that later failure fixable?
(In reply to comment #42) > Ok, just to fill in the blanks: was this a regression? Was there a > kernel or X or GNOME upgrade before which the system worked fine and > after which it broke? The problem started at some point between the migration from kernel 2.6.38/2.6.39 (in late November 2011) to 3.0.x and have continued until now (3.1.x). I don't think this is a kernel issue but a package update because every kernel he has tried since then crashes in the same way. What package exactly started to make noise? I can't tell. For example, the user reported this trace in November 27th, 2011. He kept kernel 2.6.38 because since kernel 3.0 his system became completely unstable with crashes every day. After trying with more updated kernels, the crashes persisted so while performing several system reinstalls he discovered a pattern, the source of the problem: inestability came as soon as he installed the radeon firmware and enabled acceleration regardless the kernel version.

Can you narrow down the packages and bisect? Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this on any of the 5xx cards I have access to.

If I understand correctly, there is no known-good version of the X/kernel stack, but the regression the user experienced came with the upgrade to GNOME 3. Please forgive my ignorance: is it possible to (temporarily) configure GNOME 3 not to take advantage of accelaration, or to start X without starting a GNOME session? That might be interesting, since then it might be possible to find some other simpler application that reproduces the same trouble and helps pinpoint what is provoking trouble from that end.
How are the LVDS and DVI displays arranged in the session? Can you attach the output of xrandr?
Created attachment 56518 [details] Output of "xrandr" In reply to comment #47, I'm attaching the output of "xrandr".
The kernel DESKTOP_HEIGHT fix from bug 43835 might help for the GPU lockups.
Argh, I mean bug 45329.
(In reply to comment #50) > Argh, I mean bug 45329. Thank you, we can do try... what would be the "easy peasy" way to go for it? Mainline kernel 3.3-rc2 contains the mentioned patches? Are there any other packages involved? By reading bug's #45329 comment 9 looks like "xf86-video-ati" also needs to be patched :-?
(In reply to comment #51) > Mainline kernel 3.3-rc2 contains the mentioned patches? No. You can try the drm-fixes branch of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux.git, but it should be easy to manually apply the patch to any 3.x tree. > Are there any other packages involved? No.
(In reply to comment #51) > Mainline kernel 3.3-rc2 contains the mentioned patches? 3.3-rc3 does.
(In reply to comment #53) > (In reply to comment #51) > > Mainline kernel 3.3-rc2 contains the mentioned patches? > > 3.3-rc3 does. Thanks for the pointer. The user still reports crashes with the latest mainline kernel (3.3-rc3). I'm attaching the logs, though I can't see any error or kernel trace on them.
