Description russianneuromancer 2015-09-07 13:51:07 UTC 
With Linux 4.2.0 in the moment when SDDM show show login prompt, there is just black screen and no even Xorg.0.log file (every boot).
However, with SDDM autostart disabled it's possible to boot system normally, except for graphics. When I start SDDM manually, there is Xorg.0.log and errors in dmesg (attached). Few minutes later system may completely freeze, but that happen not every time when I boot like that (with not automatic but manual SDDM start).
With Linux 4.1 and previous releases there is no such issue.

Acer Aspire One 753
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02)

Attached logs gathered with drm-intel-nightly (4.2.0-994.201509042200 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/ ) but issue is reproducible with normal release build of Linux 4.2.0 too.
/sys/class/drm/card0/error is empty.
In this particular case issue is reproduced with SNA and DRI3, but it also reproduced with SNA and DRI2, and GLAMOR and DRI2 and so on (I tried different combinations).

Comment 4 Chris Wilson 2015-09-07 14:45:54 UTC 
The trigger is the TIMESTAMP probe inside mesa, using the reg_read_ioctl. That for some reason is causing a soft lockup inside the reader, so I presume it is the retry if unstable logic? If you revert:

does the system recover?

I doesn't know how to compile kernel, but I do notice that ee0a227b7ac6e75f28e10269f81c7ec6eb600952 is included in Linux 4.1.6, but not included in Linux 4.1.5, so I compare this two builds:
Linux 4.1.5 - normal behaviour, normal boot.
Linux 4.1.6 - same behaviour as with Linux 4.2.0. I can provide all debug logs, if necessary.
Comment 6 Chris Wilson 2015-09-07 17:26:22 UTC 
Hmm, the new version of the reg_read ioctl is in v4.1.5, can you please attach your dmesg from that kernel. I expect to see a warn instead.

dmesg

Boot with Linux 4.1.5 and manual SDDM launch.

Seems like fixed with 4.2.1.
