Ok, so I think part of the problem is that the kernel hibmc driver needs to use a set_busid function from the drm core. I've simulated this change in the debugger, and it seems to at least prevent the crash. (It doesn't seem to be enough for the server to work, still working on that.)
Here's a patch - we can discuss the best way to build and install it. ** Patch added: "0001-Use-standard-busid-function-from-drm-core.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1691991/+attachment/4887275/+files/0001-Use-standard-busid-function-from-drm-core.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691991 Title: Xorg Segmentation fault on Hisilicon D05 board (arm64) Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg [sudo] password for ubuntu: X.Org X Server 1.18.4 Release Date: 2016-07-19 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 4.4.0-45-generic aarch64 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux ubuntu 4.10.0-20.22-generic #22+pearl.2-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 27 20:23:08 UTC 2017 aarch64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-20.22-generic root=UUID=eee681c5-04ce-4cd0-a004-cae6717961ce ro debug earlycon=pl011,mmio,0x602B0000 console=tty0 Build Date: 02 November 2016 10:05:28PM xorg-server 2:1.18.4-0ubuntu0.2 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) Current version of pixman: 0.33.6 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
