Since you can retrieve the GPUVM fault messages, it's hard to believe that the system locks up completely. Can you try logging in via ssh after the problem occurs and getting a gdb backtrace of the Xorg process?

This isn't limited to gtksu. I can reproduce it fairly quickly by playing around with a MATE desktop session (which seems to use GTK2). OTOH I haven't run into it with this GNOME3 session, which mostly uses GTK3, though with some GTK2 apps as well.

I bisected it to 9aaf28da ("radeonsi: enable compiling one variant per shader"). I also confirmed that it happens with Marek's current si-one-variant branch as well as an older snapshot of that branch.

Now the "fun" part will be tracking down which glamor shaders are broken by this and why. Meanwhile, it might be better to disable the single shader variant by default, especially on the 11.2 branch.

Attempting to attach gdb to X, I am unable to break out of gdb.

apitrace reproducing the problem

This apitrace reproduces the problem for me on Kaveri and Tonga.

Sadly, I can't reproduce this on Verde, Bonaire, Tonga using the apitrace.

Could you please get a new check_vm report with this branch?

check_vm dump from ddebug-shader-dump branch

The bad news is the check_vm report probably doesn't contain the problematic shaders. The good news is I can reproduce this after updating LLVM, thus this is an LLVM bug. I'm bisecting.

The first bad commit:

problematic shader

The problematic shader is attached. It has "s_branch" at the end "ret" somewhere in the middle. My initial theory is that the shader fails to jump to the epilog, which is outside of the binary, and jumps somewhere else. It may be even stuck in an infinite loop due to an incorrect jump.

got the same issue.

last working version was on commit 89d25a8  (mesa-11.2)
problems started after commit ff360a5   (mesa-11.3)


when i launch 'plank' or 'mate-system-monitor' everything freezes (on some versions/commits my mouse is still working and on some it doesn't) and my Xorg server crashes. sometimes the session restarts, but after login the opengl is not available (glxinfo shows some errors)

The fix is under review: http://reviews.llvm.org/D17964

Fixed in LLVM SVN r263441.
