Comment 2 Tyler Foo 2014-04-05 02:56:00 UTC
This is only happens when I set "AccelMethod" to "sna".
Comment 3 Chris Wilson 2014-04-05 06:17:43 UTC
I at least need the Xorg.0.log containing the stacktrace. Preferrably it will have its symbols resolved. As you can reproduce this, please try and attach gdb.

Sorry, this seems quite complicated to me, but when I have time, I'll certainly try it. In the mean time, pls check the Xorg.0.log.old file. Thanks.
Comment 7 Chris Wilson 2014-04-05 09:15:18 UTC
Ok, since the backtrace contains no symbols, can you try

addr2line -e /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so -i 0x5ee02 0x4ba12

It doesn't tend to be as accurate as gdb, but it may help in the interim. Note that this also requires the debug packages for Xorg and xf86-video-intel to be installed.

Simply loading aegisub doesn't crash for me (at least on the first machine that installed it) - is there any particular sequence required or a particular file?

Can you tell me what are the required debug packages specificly? I'm running Arch linux.

About the crash, it didn't just happen to a particular sequence or a particular file. Most of the time it happened when I was editing or reviewing subtitles. Also most of the video files I was working with were downloaded from youtube, so they were encoded with ffh264 for video, and ffaac for audio.

Also my graphics card is haswell hd4400 if that helps.
Comment 9 Chris Wilson 2014-04-05 09:49:06 UTC
I found this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces which suggests you can use "pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so" to get the name of the package to rebuild with debug symbols. Then it looks like you need to manually tweak the package manifest to keep the debug symbols, rebuild and then reinstall the package.

Ok, I reinstalled the self-compiled version of xf86-video-intel, now what? I mean, how do I get the debug info that you need? I have gdb installed, but not quite sure how to use it.
Comment 11 Chris Wilson 2014-04-05 11:26:14 UTC
With any luck the addresses are still valid, and addr2line (part of binutils) should work. To use gdb, requires a lot of heartache or a second computer. Using a second computer is much easier...

Ok, I just attached the addr2line output.
Comment 14 Chris Wilson 2014-04-05 11:43:48 UTC
Hmm, I think my hope that the addresses will match up in the new package were false. Do you mind reproducing the crash with the new driver and attach the Xorg.0.log file? If you want to jump ahead to running addr2line, be my guest! You need to feed it the hex offsets (the part after the '+')  for each intel_drv.so frame in the stack. Otherwise I can tell you what addr2line to execute, thanks.

Wow...this is crazy. I've been playing with it for over half an hour now and it still haven't crashed. In this case it's really not a good thing. ;)

Seems the result is the same as last one. Did I do something wrong?
Comment 20 Chris Wilson 2014-04-05 20:24:55 UTC
Ok, that is actually consistent against 2.99.911 (I looked against master originally where it didn't make sense). I'm still considering how it fails though, my first thought is that the region is broken due to an allocation failure which then causes REGION_NUM_RECTS() to die.

If you need anything else to help you figure out, just ask. Thank you!
Comment 22 Chris Wilson 2014-04-06 19:29:57 UTC
Bizarre, I still can't see how we would get a NULL pointer dereference there. Can you please look into changing the configure line within the package build script to include --enable-debug and reinstall? That will add assertion checks which might help catch the issue earlier. Most helpful would be to add --enable-debug=full, but that might prevent the bug entirely.

Been running git version for a while. Did some subtitle editting in Aegisub, no crashes so far.

Hi I am also seeing this bug.. 
Aegisub 3.0.4 
Lubuntu 14.04 

Fix was to change to UXA acceleration.. As advised:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39739


However Aegisub would crash xorg after 1+ mins of playback in standard SNA mode.

Is there a upstream fix?

Hi Christ, the problem seems to be back.

I'm running Aegisub 3.2.0-2 and xf86-video-intel 2.99.914.60.gf546968-1 on Arch Linux.

Yes, it crashes like hell. I have to compile xf86-video-intel again. Will get the debug info for you later.

It's weird that the Xorg log file does not even update...I re-compiled the xf86-video-intel-git package with options=(debug !strip), and it did crash. Do you know what I might be doing wrong?

I forgot how to add debug=full to the Arch PKGBUILD file. Simply appending this into options=(debug=full !strip) didn't work.
Comment 43 Chris Wilson 2014-08-21 07:59:49 UTC
Can you manually add --enable-debug=full to the build script? Or just build it by hand, which I think will be very easy on arch anyway since all the headers are already there, and so you just need ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug=full

I don't know if I'm doing right. I added --enable-debug=full to the PKGBUILD file (see the attached file). I think it's working, 'cause my laptop is running heavily. Everything is slow. But I can't seem to get the log file I want. When I do "journalctl /usr/bin/Xorg", the latest log entries only goes to 2014-08-02.

Yep, it's driving me nuts. See the attached file, generated with "journalctl -r --since="19:00" > xorg.log". It's the best I can do. There was a crash around 19:20.

It was an audio file that I was using with a format of flac. I also tried converting it to ac3, no difference. I didn't do too much. Simply working on the time frame would cause Xorg to crash. In my case it didn't take long.

Hope it helps.
Comment 53 Chris Wilson 2014-09-08 07:20:43 UTC
I messed around a few times now, taking similar steps as you showed in the cast. Nothing so far. Could you try reproducing the crash with --enable-debug=full? It will be much slower, has a chance of hiding the bug, and will generate a huge logfile - but I don't have a better idea yet.

I think I got the file. But it's too big, and Dropbox is blocked again here in my country. Google Drive won't work either. And surprisingly neither does OneDive. Any suggestions?
Comment 55 Chris Wilson 2014-09-08 10:46:30 UTC
How big is it after xz? Or try:


head -1500 Xorg.0.log > xorg.trunc
tail -3000 Xorg.0.log >> xorg.trunc

and then compress it.

That looks like a u16 underflow. Do you have the stderr available? Usually /var/log/gdm/:0.log or similar.

This should test the underflow theory:

commit 30932a7b9d255c2037bee19e01aa3edc37b07386
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date:   Mon Sep 8 12:41:06 2014 +0100

    sna: Avoid u16 underflow when computing reserved batch space
    
    If we filled the batch exactly, then subtract -1 for the reserved
    BATCH_BUFFER_END, it would underflow to a large value - convincing us
    that we had sufficient room to stuff many, many more commands in.
    
    However, all the callsites should be guarded by checking already that
    they had sufficient space to emit at least one operation...

The commit just makes it worse. It crashes my X even when I'm not using Aegisub.

Cool! Is it possible for you to get a stacktrace or updated debug log? Please?

Sigh. It tool loading aegisub for me, but it then promptly crashed:

xorg debug log with the latest git commit.

Just tested the lasted git commit. X still crashed when using Aegisub. Here is the log file with full debug.
Comment 62 Chris Wilson 2014-09-09 06:10:36 UTC
Hmm, but is it the same assertion? Can you please look for the login manager logs for the stderr from Xorg? (e.g. /var/log/gdm/:0.log)
Comment 63 Chris Wilson 2014-09-09 06:39:32 UTC
Also added a little more DBG messages before that assert:

I can't get the gdm logs, 'cause again it's not updated like what had with Xorg logs before. The reason that I could get the xorg logs was I disabled gdm and used startx to start my X, which is rootless this way, but not when using a display manager.
Comment 65 Chris Wilson 2014-09-09 07:26:15 UTC
On the VT you ran startx, and presumably switched back to after the crash, did you notice the line number of the assert (and what the assert was)?

I doubt it will be a eureka moment, but hopefully will narrow down where to look next.

Been playing with Aegisub for half an hour, no crash so far.
Comment 67 Chris Wilson 2014-09-10 06:59:20 UTC
If you have a second computer (or smartphone and a ssh app), could you switch back to --enable-debug and run with gdb attached to Xorg via the remote connection? It is possible that the extra DBG is masking the bug, but catching the assertion would hopefully be enough information. Alternatively, we could try and find where systemd hides that information!
Comment 68 Tyler Foo 2014-09-10 07:39:39 UTC
Yeah, I have a smartphone, but you'll have to handhold me to finish the gdb stuff. But first I can check if the bug is still there by running Aegisub without --enable-debug, right?
Comment 69 Chris Wilson 2014-09-10 07:44:51 UTC
Yeah, hopefully the --enable-debug is just causing it to crash earlier and so help narrow down the root cause. Without --enable-debug, it should mostly work, or at least crash in the same location as before.

yeah, it won't crash, and Aegisub feel kinda sluggish. I think I'm ready to try other options.
Comment 71 Chris Wilson 2014-09-10 08:23:39 UTC
If it feels slow, I would guess that X is using sw fallbacks (perhaps a GPU hang?). Anything in dmesg/Xorg.0.log? (If you can extract such from journald).

No Xorg.o.log since I enabled gdm, which means X is running as root. But I just figured out why Xorg.0.log is not updated when X is running as root. Gonna do a test. Will report back. Btw, can I just install the stable version of xf86-video-intel and test with --enable--debug=full? 'Cause I'm afraid it still won't crash with the latest git commit.

And find the assert? Yes. Just annoying that you then won't have the extra debugging I added for this bug. |

Previous gdm logs outputted with command "journalctl -r /usr/bin/gdm". Take a look. Now I know how to get latest Xorg logs using journalctl. Just need to get X to crash now.
Comment 77 Chris Wilson 2014-09-10 09:42:09 UTC
Hmm, that didn't include the usual information I would expect from /var/log/gdm/:0.log. Perhaps try:

Comment 79 Chris Wilson 2014-09-10 10:02:31 UTC
Using DRI3+Present, it will feel sluggish. Nothing else stands out - I was looking for a message that it failed to submit some rendering and disabled acceleration, but that is absent.

Is this the assertion you are looking for?
Comment 82 Chris Wilson 2014-09-10 11:00:41 UTC
No. :(

If you are building the crashy version from git, could you do:

$ cd xf86-video-intel
$ git fetch
$ git cherry-pick 224af800f695b50ba5a65b5a2b9ca1e7a88d4e1a
$ make && sudo make install

That will (hopefully!) dump the assert to where journalctl /usr/bin/Xorg.bin will find it.

I just used the xf86-video-intel-git from arch aur. Can you help figure out how to add the git commands to the PKGBUILD file? Here is the link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf/xf86-video-intel-git/PKGBUILD

There is a 30 second period where one X disappears and new one starts up without that transition being logged at all. (The log begins with usual startup for Xorg-:0[541], but nothing at all is visible for Xorg-:1[1187])

Maybe I don't use GDM to start my X and just use startx to start a rootless X and when the crash happens, the assert should be displayed on the VT? Will this do?

Yes. All I want (today!) is that fatal error message telling me which line to look at. If you use startx, it should be visible immediately after X crashes.

    As the caller will apply the damage afterwards, we do not need to do the

It's disabled because it is incomplete and lacks true synchronisation with X (and compositors) hence resulting in delayed rendering (though it should be mostly correct rendering just at the wrong time).

Oh I forgot, Arch completely strips all debug symbols from its installs (and doesn't install the separate dso.debug). There's probably a way to prevent that if you know Arch well enough, but let's hope it presents itself again with --enable-debug=full :|

I have putted "!strip" in the options with this build. Let's hope it crashes soon enough.

You wouldn't happen to have the missing 30s? /o\
Comment 111 Chris Wilson 2014-09-11 07:25:21 UTC
Looking at the logfile it appears that journald only outputs a small amount of the log every 30s. I think we will just have to rely on --enable-debug (not --enable-debug=full).

OK. Let's just say GDM and journald suck. Or should I try again with startx?
Comment 113 Chris Wilson 2014-09-11 07:29:33 UTC
If you have time to run with --enable-debug=full, please, please do so. :) In which case use startx whilst on a debugging run.

Xorg.0.log.old (2014-09-11T16-06) with head -1500 and tail -3000

Comment 115 Chris Wilson 2014-09-11 08:40:11 UTC
Still the head scratcher from last night, just a second place along the same path that also modified the damage.

    sna: Do not mark the pixmap as cleared in the middle of a miSpans decomposition
    
    As the miSpans will continue to overdraw the Pixmap, it's final state
    will no longer be that clear value. We need to be much more careful when
    allowing that optimisation.

That should finally put that to rest - it could be the cause of death, but it might not be...

OK. I'll test a little more when I have time.

I've used aegisub a couple times. Nothing so far.

I am going to claim its fixed - that's bound to provoke it into failing again!

dmesg

Hey Chris, my computer had multiple freezes this month. Can you take look at the dmesg to see if it has something to do with this bug?

dmesg and journalctl output attached.

Comment 122 Tyler Foo 2014-10-24 23:38:54 UTC
If this has nothing to do with this bug, I'll file a separate bug instead.
Comment 123 Chris Wilson 2014-10-25 08:58:43 UTC
Yes, that is a separate (kernel) bug. We have had a few reports like that and we put a workaround into 3.17 to reduce the impact, but we don't know what's causing it yet.

Ok, this is great and bad. Good that it's not this bug again. Bad that we don't have a solution yet and it's really hard to reproduce. It just happens. So will downgrading the kernel help? Or should I downgrading the xf86-video-intel driver? I really need a working system these days.
Comment 125 Chris Wilson 2014-10-25 09:33:53 UTC
As far as we know, this bug was introduced in kernel 3.16.
Comment 126 Mikolaj 2019-01-10 06:21:45 UTC
I think this problem is fixed, as I encountered same issue on OpenBSD with GIMP. I had very easy repro case by just opening new file and navigating file browser in the recently open files. Crash each time of Xorg. More details reported here:
