Created attachment 83002 [details] Xorg.0.log with modeset enabled and output of dmesg while problem is active When using nouveau with modeset, the system starts up fine but eventually (possibly when the screen saver kicks in), X consumes all CPU resources on one core rendering the machine useless except via ssh sessions. If I disable modeset at boot time (nouveau.modeset=0), then the system is stable but the drive does not accept the EDID from the monitor and I'm stuck with a 1024x768 display instead of the 1600x900 it has with modeset enabled. I'm attaching the Xorg.0.log file along with an excerpt from the output of dmesg when this behavior is occurring.

Hi Rick Before jumping to compulsions can you configure your Xserver to not load * libglamoregl.so * vesa_drv.so * modesetting_drv.so The last two should be ignored if you use an xorg.conf as shown in here [1]. Whereas for the first one you could try an temporary rename the file (there may be a better way to handle it, which I'm not aware of). With that said, try and narrow down what's causing the issue. A scenario such as * as soon as my screensaver kicks in * using program XX * doing action A, while using program YY, followed by action C. As the issue occurs, try and attach the complete output of dmesg (or save the output to a file and attach at a later point) Cheers Emil [1] "Configuring the X server" http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau/

That's why I've mentioned a _complete_ dmesg. If you feel there is something confidential inside if clearly strip it out

I booted the machine and as soon as the display locked up, I ssh'd to it from another machine and simply did a "dmesg >/rick/dmesg.txt" to capture as much as I could. The Xorg.0.log was already generated by the time I logged in via ssh. I combined the various logs into one file and shot it off to bugzilla. As far as the screen saver, I'm running XFCE and the lockup occurred as soon as I went through the "Applications Menu->Settings->Screensaver" menu tree. It tried to render the Screensaver window, got as far as drawing the box around it and everything locked up. After about a minute, the graphical screen blanked and I started getting the GPU lockup and going back to fbcon messages appeared on the console. The GUI screen then reappeared but it was still locked up. Again it cleared, the GPU lockup message appeared again and around and around we go. It might do the same thing rendering other windows, but I'm trying to be consistent to help debug this. I'll be more than happy to keep tinkering, but I've had like 3 hours of sleep in the last two days and I'm a bit knackered. I can pick this back up Monday. I'm in California if that's of any help. > Note: the following messages are harmless > nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of * FAULT at 0x1002** Glad to hear that!

Created attachment 83220 [details] [review] BUG_ON(!data) Also you can try this simple patch, it would trigger a kernel bug so be warned. If/when it does capture the output and attach it in here (either in picture or text form) Thanks

In answer to the second, I'm not sure how to correlate the timestamps. Looking at the dmesg output, the first "nouveau E" message occurred 19 seconds into the boot process. This is long before the login screen for the desktop appears. The next messages seem to occur once I log in via the desktop login screen, about 55 seconds after the boot. The screensaver shouldn't start for at least 10 minutes after that. As I said, if I try to do something such as adjust the screen saver parameters via XFCE's "Applications Menu->Settings->Screensaver" menu, as soon as the frame containing the the applications window is rendered the display, keyboard and mouse lock up. > > (In reply to comment #6) > > In the last attachment Xorg.log claims that it's starts at ~81.456, whereas > > dmesg states that X was running ~19.627541. > > * Are those logs matching (ie. captured from the same boot/system startup) > > I'm assuming that you've started your screensaver ~55.041877.

If unsure attach dmesg of older > kernels that you have handy :) dmesg is wiped each time I boot the machine. I guess I could try to set up something that would log it to a disk file instead of just in the ring buffer.

(In reply to comment #11) > In answer to your first question (I think), yes, those captures were from > the same boot/crash cycle, acquired as I mentioned in my comments. > Obviously I did not express myself clear enough :) The Xorg.0.log attached is _not_ from when the crash/lockup occurred. It is from the second X session (the one that was started by your system after X died the first time). I was seeking confirmation of the above with my first question :P Does your system has plymouth or similar splash manager ? Please disable it, try to reproduce the issue and attach dmesg _before_ trying the patch/recompiling the kernel [...] > adjust the screen saver parameters via XFCE's "Applications > Menu->Settings->Screensaver" menu, as soon as the frame containing the the > applications window is rendered the display, keyboard and mouse lock up. > Please do not assume that I'm running XFCE and/or know what exactly it does behind the scenes.

No need for such an overkill All I was asking - "Is this a kernel regression ?", or in other words "before you installed Fedora 19 with kernel 3.9.9, you had XXX, running kernel XXX. Do you recall any messages similar to 'nouveau E' in dmesg?" Quick $grep "nouveau E" -r /var/logs/ may help depending on your setup Cheers Emil

Sorry, forgot to comment about the attachment I just put up. The machine did use plymouth, so I removed the "rhgb" stuff from the boot command and repeated everything as before, but included both Xorg.0.log[.old] files and another capture of dmesg. The screensaver is "xscreensaver" and the menu tree fires up "xscreensaver-demo". They come from the xscreensaver-5.22.1.fc19.x86_64 set of RPMs. The system is up-to-date running kernel 3.10.3-300.fc19.x86_64.
Oh, one additional thing...nouveau never seemed to work with this hardware. Before I upgraded this machine to F19, it had been running F18 but I ended up running the nvidia blob driver system since I never could get nouveau to work. I could go back to that if needed, but I thought that since this is currently an experimental system, I might try to get nouveau to work properly and possibly help the community. I do appreciate your help on this Emil. I just wanted you to know that and if I seem a bit, well, dense it's because I'm not that familiar with how the entire X mechanism works on this sort of hardware.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses :) Looking at your latest dmesg, the pointer have changed from 0 to another (probably invalid) value - 0xfe00ccc6 nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 1 [0x0007cb0000 DRM] subc 3 class 0x502d mthd 0x0860 data 0xfe00ccc6 Would be great if you can do the following * Notice if the the value varies between reboots, or does it differ on kernel version example kernel version 3.9.9 3.10.5 boot 1 0xbla0 0xbla1 2 0xbla2 0xbla3 3 0xbla4 0xbla5

Rick there is no need to try the BUG_ON(!data).patch I was assuming that the data printed by nouveau indicates the CPU pointer(rather than one from the gpu's vm), silly me. That said, the only thing that I can think of is that either the VM is not setup properly or data is getting overwritten somewhere :\ Either case a mmiotrace of the blob may be great to have [1], although not too sure when I'll have some time to look into it Cheers Emil [1] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MMIOTracing - FOR ACCELERATION BUGS
Created attachment 83383 [details] mmio trace along with dmesg and Xorg logs I did as you asked...rebooted in run level 3 with plymouth disabled. Started the mmio trace, then started X by using "telinit 5", tried to bring up the screen saver stuff, waited for it to lock up, waited until it restarted, then stopped the mmio trace and grabbed dmesg and the last two Xorg log files. I hope that gives you more insight. I await your feedback.
Did you mmiotrace nouveau or the nvidia proprietary driver? The request was for the latter. [Although I don't really see how that will help... but I also haven't looked at all the details of this bug.] It would be worth testing 3.11-rc7 on this (or 3.11 if it's out by the time you get to it). I wonder if there's a bug somewhere handling the NVAA as NVA3+ (which it's not). But then NVAC would also be affected... or something in the ctxprogs... (I guess for which the mmiotrace could come in handy.)
