Description Adam Jimerson 2020-06-19 13:16:11 UTC
Using FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p6 picom v8 is crashing with a segmentation fault for me. I have tested with the version that in available from pkg as well as rebuilt it locally from the ports tree and got the same result.

Looking at the backtrace from the core dump I don't know how useful it will be as it appears that picom is being built without debugging symbols and I'm not sure how to compile picom from the ports tree with them not striped out.

(In reply to Adam Jimerson from comment #0)

Thanks for the report Adam

A port build WITH_DEBUG should stop the port from stripping symbols
Comment 2 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-19 13:46:45 UTC
(In reply to Kubilay Kocak from comment #1)

Thanks, I'll rebuild the port with that flag and upload a new backtrace later today.
Comment 3 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-19 14:18:28 UTC
Also rebuild library dependencies WITH_DEBUG after consulting ldd(1). For example, frame #0 to #5 are not even in picom code.

OpenGL hardware acceleration has failed. Can you show /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Also try

  $ pkg install mesa-demos
  $ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears

VSync is disabled, so you get more than 60 FPS. Looks generic to OpenGL under X11 -> reassigning. I've never used an AMD GPU myself, so may not be aware of quirks.

67df (Polaris10) is listed in both drm-kmod and mesa-dri, so OpenGL acceleration should work.

Can you show "dmesg" output? If you have amdgpu_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf convert to kld_list=amdgpu in /etc/rc.conf. Modern GPUs need to load firmware which may not work from loader(8).

xf86-video-vesa doesn't support OpenGL acceleration. Maybe deinstall all xf86-video-* except xf86-video-amdgpu to facilitate debugging.
Comment 7 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-19 17:57:24 UTC
(In reply to Adam Jimerson from comment #5)
I'm postponing debugging x11-wm/picom crash until you get OpenGL accelerated. The failure mode in graphics/mesa-* is kinda fragile, so when DRI2 fails it may not gracefully fallback to swrast (compared to LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE).
Comment 8 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-19 18:04:34 UTC
Thanks for your assistance in looking to this Jan, picom was working up until yesterday when I did a `pkg upgrade` so I know that my hardware and driver supports OpenGL acceleration. Worst case I roll back my ZFS pool to a snapshot from before I did that update and go from there...

(In reply to Jan Beich from comment #6)

> Can you show "dmesg" output?

Sure I'll grab that and attach it here

That is already set in my /etc/rc.conf per the post-install message of drm-fbsd12.0-kmod and the kernel modules are getting loaded on boot

Sure I can do that, I only had that installed temperately anyways when I got this graphics card for basic tests and meant to remove it afterwards.

No clue how important this is. Try cold reboot: power off, wait half a minute for remaining power to dissipate, then turn on. Try loading amdgpu manually instead of via kld_list.

Probably explains broken /dev/dri/card0 i.e., DRM has initialized but cannot do anything because device-specific driver failed.

New Xorg.0.log with just xf86-video-amdgpu installed

I tried doing a cold boot as suggested after removing xf86-video-vesa and X11 couldn't even start (I updated the Xorg.0.log attachment with the new log output) throwing a "no screens found(EE)" error. I even tried commenting out the kld_load line from /etc/rc.conf and manually loaded amdgpu before starting X11 with the same result. This may explain why it was using the vesa driver which I had to reinstall. I can also upload an updated output of `dmesg` if need be.

> When did you last update before this?

Before yesterday looks like the last time anything was updated on my system was June 9th.

> Which version of drm-fbsd12.0-kmod and gpu-firmware-kmod were installed when this was last working?

Those haven't seen any updates for a while, although I did try rebuilding them out of the ports tree as well as xf86-video-amdgpu today to see if that wouldn't resolve the issue so I don't know exactly when they were last upgraded.
Comment 14 Niclas Zeising freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-19 20:30:06 UTC
(In reply to Adam Jimerson from comment #13)

It would be interesting to know if the last working set were using the latest drivers or not.  There has been an update to drm-fbsd12.0-kmod in February, and gpu-firmware-kmod on May, nothing since.

It looks like loading the driver is failing, which could indicate an update of either the driver or the firmware, which is why I'm asking when they were last updated and if it used to work even with the latest versions of those drivers.
Comment 15 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-19 21:39:37 UTC
(In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #14)

To confirm the versions of drm-fbsd12.0-kmod and gpu-firmware-kmod installed before yesterday I rolled by my system to the 17th and I have the following:

- drm-fbsd12.0-kmod-4.16.g20200221 installed on Fri Feb 28 07:40:44 2020 EST
- gpu-firmware-kmod-g20200503 installed on Thu May  7 21:22:33 2020 EDT
- xf86-video-amdgpu-19.1.0_1 installed on xf86-video-amdgpu-19.1.0_1

It's also worth noting that the amdgpu driver is working correctly again, OpenGL acceleration and picom is working as well.

If I do a `pkg upgrade` I get a long list of packages that pkg wants to upgrade (mostly KDE/plasma packages) but nothing sticks out to me as being something that would break the amdgpu driver.
Comment 16 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-19 21:42:31 UTC
(In reply to Adam Jimerson from comment #15)

I take that back I over looked this on the first blush

mesa-dri: 19.0.8_4 -> 19.0.8_6

So the amdgpu driver dosn't like something about mesa-dri 19.0.8_6 I'm guessing
Comment 17 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-20 02:18:32 UTC
This is getting stranger by the minute, I updated everything but the mesa-dri package and rebooted to test if everything would come back up as expected (same "No screens found" error).

Strangely without the xf86-video-vesa package installed X11 failed to start, but installing, X11 works and picom which seems happy but yet doing something like glxgears with LIBGL_DEBUG flag I still get the following.

> 511 frames in 5.0 seconds = 102.029 FPS
> 439 frames in 5.0 seconds = 87.668 FPS

I also still see the following in my Xorg.0.log file

> [   139.052] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: Operation not supported by device
> [   139.052] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting

> [   139.052] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.


So I guess the amdgpu driver may have been failing all this time and vesa has just been playing a trick on me.

I also don't know if this is related to anything but it seems that X11 is looking for a module that does not exist for some reason:

> [   139.051] (II) LoadModule: "ati"
> [   139.051] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module ati
> [   139.051] (EE) Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)

rather than looking for amdgpu

(In reply to Adam Jimerson from comment #17)

Can you verify that amdgpu.ko loaded properly when things were working?
There as been some churn in mesa-dri related to the switch to meson, especially surrounding swrast, wich is a software rendering GL driver.  While mesa-dri 19.0.8_6 should have fixed that, it might be worth updating to 19.0.8_7 which had some further fixes.

xf86-video-vesa is being used when no other xf86-video* driver can be used.  Without having amdgpu.ko (or any other drm kernel driver) load properly, Xorg falls back to that driver, or a similar driver called xf86-video-scfb, if you are using an EFI framebuffer console.

I do know that the amdgpu and the related Polaris 10 kernel modules are getting loaded at boot as in comment 8 (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247416#c8). At this point though I question is if X11 was ever loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amdgpu_drv.so looking at the logs it looks like it tries to load the ati driver and fails (due to no ati_drv.so in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers I'm guessing) and eventually settles for loading the vesa driver.

> While mesa-dri 19.0.8_6 should have fixed that, it might be worth updating to 19.0.8_7 which had some further fixes.

Sure I'll try that and report back my results, although it looks like 19.0.8_7 has not fullly propogated through the pkg servers so I'm building it from the ports tree.

Before this bug Xorg probably used "modesetting". Can you attach "dmesg" output and /var/log/Xorg.0.log from a working configuration?
Comment 21 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-20 11:04:16 UTC
It looks like things are still failing with mesa-dri 19.0.8_7, although it seems that the core problem is X11 is not using the correct driver.

I even tried creating a /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ config file to try and tell X11 to load the amdgpu driver and it still failed with the "No screens found" error.

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver     "amdgpu"
EndSection

I was hoping that would cause X11 to look for /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amdgpu_drv.so instead of /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so like it seems to want to do.

Both "modesetting" and "amdgpu" require working /dev/dri/card0. UMS (userland mode setting) isn't supported nowadays.

Which I don't have xf86-video-ati installed but I do have xf86-video-amdgpu but it looks like it's not even being looked for going off the Xorg logs.

At this point my system is running as it always has been since I installed this card which is why I'm starting to think my system was never actually running the correct driver for my card. I can upload my dmesg output and Xorg.0.log from this boot but I'm sure it would be similar to what is already attached here.

I do not believe you had working graphics using amdgpu.ko even before all this

The dmesg you have posted, from the broken system, indicates that amdgpu.ko does not attach properly to the device.  There might be an issue with swrast in recent versions of mesa-dri, that used to work before, that was masking this.

Comment 8 only proves that the module (and firmware modules) load, not that they attach or work.  Can you, as also requested by Jan, provide an Xorg.log and a dmesg from a system when this was working.

Xorg will probe a multitude of drivers (xf86-video-*) to figure out what's going on, and which is best.  Both xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-amdgpu requires working kernel drivers though.

Without having proper logs, from a working system, to compare with the ones from when it is not working, it is very hard to tell what's going on.
Comment 27 Niclas Zeising freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-20 11:22:06 UTC
In the dmesg you just posted, amdgpu.ko is not loading correctly:

Looking at Xorg.log, I see that it is using the vesa driver, and also complaining about not finding dri/card/0, further confirming that this is the case.

It might be that you were using swrast before, and that is now failing.  It is one of the components that changed between mesa-dri 19.0.8_4 and _7.

At this point I don't think it was ever working, and I was just being fooled by vesa and swrast I checked my ZFS snapshots and could not find an instance when my system was actually using the amdgpu driver and kernel module.

Xorg.0.log from Apr 28

Attached is the oldest Xorg log that I have in my backups, it dates back to Apr 28 and in it I see that I was still using the vesa driver back then and it still compains about /dev/dri/card0

Dmesg log from May 2

This is the demesg log from the same snapshot of the last Xorg.0.log file I posted.
Comment 31 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-22 12:54:58 UTC
Seeing as how there seems to be two issues at play here:

1. amdgpu driver/module: does not correctly load for my card
2. mesa-dri 19.0.8_6+ breaks swrast which was being used with vesa driver

what would be the prefered route to take:

a. try and work out why amdgpu is failing (and hopefully drop the need for vesa and swrast)
b. try to work out why the mesa-dri update breaks swrast, and I can create a seperate issue for the amdgpu issue
c. something else (I'm open for suggestions if there seems to be an easier route to fix these issues)
Comment 32 Adam Jimerson 2020-06-23 13:00:28 UTC
Okay so update on progress, I managed to work out why amdgpu was failing to load. Some point late last year I did a full reinstall of my OS and restored from a backup, but my /boot/loader.conf didn't get restored so the hw.syscons.disable=1 and kern.vty=wt settings were not set.

Running everything with amdgpu now everything works as intended, but mesa-dri still breaks vesa+swrast.

the mesa-dri issue is believed to be fixed.

I'm closing this.  The issue seem related to configuration, and has been resolved.  If there's any lingering issues, please re-open this or submit a new PR.
