** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + Commit 8f4b1068e7fc3df1a77ac8151767e56b208cc87f introduced some timing checks which have been proven invalid for at least some hardware setups. A user trying to run Focal with HWE 5.15 kernel is not able to get any video output. + After going through bisection between 5.4 and 5.5 this commit was identified. Reverting it on top of Focal HWE kernel fixes the issue. + + The issue has been addressed upstream in DRM tree + (20c2dbff342aec13bf93c2f6c951da198916a455) and has been merge into + linux-next (e0ef2daa8ca8ce4dbc2fd0959e383b753a87fd7d). + + dmesg and lspci from the affected configuration are attached to this + bug. + + [ Test Plan ] + 1. Boot the affected hardware with Ubuntu desktop running kernel v5.5 or higher. + 2. Wait until boot finishes and see the blank screen. + + Actual result: there is no video output visible. + Expected result: normal boot process should be visible (e.g. splash), then GUI should appear. + + [ Where problem could occur ] + This bug was a result of assumptions in the checks that turned out to be not valid for some hardware. The checks were removed from global intel_mode_valid function and moved into connector specific .mode_valid() hooks, entirely skiping BXT/GLK DSI connectors. + + This should keep the checks where appropriate and skip for hardware that + does not comply to them. + + [ Other info ] + + Original bug description: + There is a regression preventing a user to upgrade from 5.4 kernel to anything that's higher than 5.5. When using such kernel the image orientation is wrong (rotated by 90°C). Also the kernel log contains: wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Unknown revid 0x06 wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: Firmware version 24.8.0, H2C version 12 wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25 wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: vgaarb: deactivate vga console wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] couldn't get memory information wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:o> wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin (v> wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: ================================================================================ wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in /build/linux-hwe-5.15-DZkSuT/linux-hwe-5.15-5.> wrz 15 09:19:49 desktop kernel: index 5 is out of range for type 'u32 [5]' (full stack trace attached) The video hardware in use is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 605 [8086:3185] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) (...)

I am not fully sure what the purpose of this patch was, but I assume the regression was not intended and the hardware should be still supported. Attaching lshw and lspci output.

A user trying to run Focal with HWE 5.15 kernel is not able to get any video output. After going through bisection between 5.4 and 5.5 this commit was identified. Reverting it on top of Focal HWE kernel fixes the issue. The issue has been addressed upstream in DRM tree (20c2dbff342aec13bf93c2f6c951da198916a455) and has been merge into linux-next (e0ef2daa8ca8ce4dbc2fd0959e383b753a87fd7d). dmesg and lspci from the affected configuration are attached to this bug. [ Test Plan ] 1. Boot the affected hardware with Ubuntu desktop running kernel v5.5 or higher. 2. Wait until boot finishes and see the blank screen. Actual result: there is no video output visible. Expected result: normal boot process should be visible (e.g. splash), then GUI should appear. [ Where problem could occur ] This bug was a result of assumptions in the checks that turned out to be not valid for some hardware. The checks were removed from global intel_mode_valid function and moved into connector specific .mode_valid() hooks, entirely skiping BXT/GLK DSI connectors. This should keep the checks where appropriate and skip for hardware that does not comply to them.
