 Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 10:10 am Post subject: [SOLVED] System freeze with kernel-3.6.x with DRI2/OpenGL |
 |
|
[SOLVED]
The solution was to upgrade to kwin 4.9.3.
--- Original post below ---
Hi everybody,
--------
Update: It seems not any of the u* or *kit packages freeze the system, but kwin using OpenGL. Even OpenBox just froze while xscreensaver showed an OpenGL screensaver. (More below in the fourth post.)
--------
I have a problem using gentoo-sources-3.6.4 (tried with 3.6.2 before) and starting razor-qt or kde. OpenBox works fine, though, so I can work.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to gather the information needed to track the issue down, and further I have made so many changes and tests to the kernel configs for both 3.5.* and 3.6.* that I do not know what I changed where and when any more.
Pappy McFae once posted in his kernel seeds thread, that he keeps backups of all configs ever tried. I really should start taking a leaf out of his book.
However, I have spend a lot of my time for the last two weeks to find out what is going on, but I am still completely at sea.- With kernel 3.5.x My system (razorqt or kde) became unusable within seconds. High cpuload everywhere with conky showing CPU Percentages above 300% per task.
Although I did find the information that the load calculation inside the kernel has been drastically changed, the system became unresponsive like mad. Example: Hitting PgDn in a browser or text editor needed 2-10 Seconds to complete the scrolling. - With kernel 3.6.x My system froze right after the desktop showed up in razorqt or right before the kde desktop would have shown up.
- I then upgraded to linux-headers-3.6 and re-emerged everything either depending on linux-headers or having the linux_kernel USE-flag.
- After a reboot using kernel-3.4.11, the system was as unresponsive as described with the 3.5 kernel above.
- Booting into 3.5.7 showed normal system now. When razorqt/kde started, bot had high cpu load on many processes for half a minute, but then everything calmed down to a normal state.
So that's definitely an improvement! *yay* - With kernel 3.6.4 the freeze is still there. No improvement. Although OpenBox works like a charm.
The really bad thing is, I can only suspect udisks to be the culprit, but have no idea how to check/debug. /var/log/messages show only this: (From Hitting enter in kdm after entering my password up to the freeze) | /var/log/messages wrote: | Nov 2 08:28:22 sed-notebook acpid: client connected from 2783[0:0]
Nov 2 08:28:22 sed-notebook acpid: 1 client rule loaded
Nov 2 08:28:25 sed-notebook kdm: :0[2989]: pam_unix(kde:session): session opened for user sed by (uid=0)
Nov 2 08:28:33 sed-notebook dbus[2233]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.UPower' (using servicehelper)
Nov 2 08:28:33 sed-notebook dbus[2233]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UPower'

Nov 2 08:28:35 sed-notebook dbus[2233]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks' |
And this last activation of udisks service is always the last line prior a freeze.

My kernel config at pastebin: http://pastebin.com/g3nf5E4j
The dmesg output at pastebin: http://pastebin.com/js6SzkCi
Does anybody have any idea where to look to fix this?
What I've done so far:- Upgraded BIOS
- Tried different Schedulers
- Tried with and without NUMA options
- Tried different Timer settings
- Decompiled my system BIOS DSDT, recompiled after fixing various issues, added custom dsdt header to kernel config.
- Even tried different versions of the u* packages with loads of rebuilding depending packages afterwards. (Like kdelibs. *gee*).
Any ideas anybody?
And what troubles me most: According to various search engines (including google) I am either too stupid to find the right search keywords, or I am the only f*cking idiot on this planet with these problems.

A little update: My system just froze from within OpenBox running kernel-3.6.4. And to make the matter just more stunning: /var/log/messages shows absolutely no sign that anything was done beforehand. Just xscreensaver was running. *sigh*

In the meantime I have upgraded to gentoo-sources-3.6.5 and geek-sources-3.6.5 (from init6 overlay with TuxOnIce, CK, BFQ and UKSM patch sets).
The latter lets me get beyond udisks service and freezes on polkit. What the hell is going on? | /var/log/messages wrote: | Nov 2 19:54:32 sed-notebook kdm: :0[2879]: pam_unix(kde:session): session opened for user sed by (uid=0)

I think I can start narrowing the problem down.
OpenBox just froze with nothing but an emerge process in a terminal window and xscreensaver running an OpenGL screensaver.
There is nothing in the logs, but I started "xscreensaver-command -prefs" to disable all the OpenGL screensavers, and this is what showed up on the console: | Code: | sed@sed-notebook ~ $ xscreensaver-command -prefs
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (DRI2)
Minor opcode of failed request: 8 (DRI2SwapBuffers )
Resource id in failed request: 0x2600710
Serial number of failed request: 652
Current serial number in output stream: 652
(... three more errors like that and a final: )
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (DRI2)
Minor opcode of failed request: 8 (DRI2SwapBuffers )
Resource id in failed request: 0x2603309
Serial number of failed request: 206
Current serial number in output stream: 206 |
Google doesn't show anything directly interesting, but I'll keep digging.

I do not know whether the issue is solved now or not. But currently I am running KDE with kwin using OpenGL and no freeze so far.
I have updated mesa to 8.1_rc1_pre20120814 and am using geek-sources-3.6.5 from init6 overlay now. If there is no freeze today this issue might be solved.

Well, the last step didn't bring a solution. About 3 seconds after the post was sent, the system froze again.
So what I basically did afterwards, is to disable all USE-Flags related to Gallium3D (i965 isn't available anyway), GLES1, GLES2, OpenVG (was an experiment, not needed), EGL and rebuild everything related. Then I changed the driver section in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf from | Code: | | Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" |
to | Code: | | Option "AccelMethod" "GLAMOR" |
- this needs the use flags "glamor" and "uxa" set for x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel.
Now everything (mesa, qt4, kwin) are back to plain old "OpenGL" again, although EGL/GLES worked perfectly for months. But maybe those freezes are gone, now?
Next I'll reactivate "SNA" acceleration, I doubt it was the culprit.
UPDATE: No, this did _NOT_ help, the system froze while I was reading your thread, Tolstoi. So I have deactivated OpenGL for kwin now, and switched RazorQT from kwin to openbox.
Something somewhere is seriously wrong. But no log anywhere shows any hint.
But: I have started TWM just to start the SampleBrowser from Ogre3D, and I can watch any Example I want without a freeze. This means that kwin and xscreensaver are freezing when they use OpenGL, but other OpenGL applications work.
I'll try a longer Demo in full screen mode next, maybe it is a full-screen issue.
It seems like I am in no way anywhere near the solution of the problem...

At least I did some more testing:- KDE works solid with no freezes when switching to XRender for the Desktop Effects.
- The same with RazorQT using OpenBox instead of kwin.
- Ogre3D Full Screen demos cause no freeze
- Nother did a 15 minutes run of Fireworx OpenGL screensaver.
I have one last idea I'll try next:
Switch back to OpenGL in kwin but disable Version 2 Shaders.

No, the last experiment caused an instant freeze of the system. Something is very very wrong here, but at least I nailed down the problem. I have changed back to XRender.
Hmm... There is an option "OpenGLIsUnsafe", I'd like to know whether I can switch back to OpenGL using systemsettings with any difference...
In the meantime I am using RazorQT with OpenBox as Window Manager. I have put "xcompmgr -cC -t-5 -l-7 -r7 -fF" in its autostart, and the effect is quite nice.

Now that I could adapt my keywords for an internet search, I found this bug: (lengthy read!) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55998. Although the initial report is something different, several comments report issues with some likenesses to what you and I report here. (Like the tearing, artifacts, garbled output and my freezes.)

I can't believe that it took almost three weeks for me to remember the Magic SysRq Key. *sigh* All those hard power-downs when getting into a console was one Alt+SysRq+r away. So lets reactivate OpenGL in kwin and see whether SysRq still works.
I'll edit the results into this post later.

I hope it helps you, the freeze on my system blocks the keyboard. I have tested SysRq on a running system and it works, but when the freeze occurs I can't reach the kernel any more.
So I'll have to wait until next monday, I'll SSH into my laptop, maybe a remote session can bring some light upon this.
The kernel *is* working when X freezes. I can tell because the CPU fan spins up after some seconds. So there must be CPU activity, right?
However, according to the bug report I linked above, there is a problem in kwin, which is said to be fixed in 4.9.3, which is scheduled to be released yesterday. Oh. yesterday? I thought it would be tomorrow. *yay*, let's sync!

I am glad it could help you, Tolstoi.
Unfortunately KDE 4.9.3 isn't in the tree, yet. I am impatient and am adding kde overlay via layman right now.
As far as I have understood the issue, kwin isn't checking two OpenGL values, and can therefore pick the wrong FBConfig. It was planned to be fixed in kwin-4.9.3, so full steam ahead I say!
Edith now knows: *sigh* I should have waited for eix-update to finish and should have taken an actual look. Of course kde-4.9.3 *is* in the tree, now.

Ha! The issue seems to be fixed in kwin-4.9.3. No freeze for several minutes now. But now I have garbage instead of tool-tips. That's annoying...

And the tooltip artifacts and garbage where caused by x11-libs/cairo-2.12.6. Downgrading to x11-libs/cairo-2.12.2-r4 instantly solved the issue, even in a running (!) firefox.
