[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1728238] Re: update-initramfs not adding i915 GuC firmware for Kaby Lake, firmware fails to load
Complement : loading a previous version (from the same sources) of the kernel, but without being patched, seems to work: me@MyMachine~ $ dmesg | grep i915 [2.016454] i915 :00:02.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=io+mem [2.016960] [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (v1.1) [2.029825] [drm] HuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin (version 2.0) [2.040335] [drm] GuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin (version 9.14) [2.054780] i915 :00:02.0: GuC submission enabled (firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin [version 9.14]) [2.055282] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20171023 for :00:02.0 on minor 0 [2.514905] i915 :00:02.0: fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [9.433635] snd_hda_intel :00:1f.3: bound :00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915]) => i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin => i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin So, IMHO, the Intel blob had no problem at all, and it was maybe simply an issue caused by the server on Intel site uname -a : Linux MintPro 4.15.21 #2 SMP Thu Apr 4 00:38:03 CEST 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux HTH -- qɔᴉɹə L'association EducOOo : http://www.educoo.org (dérivé d'OpenOffice) https://framagit.org/ericb/miniDart (logiciel Handball) https://github.com/ebachard (logiciels variés) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728238 Title: update-initramfs not adding i915 GuC firmware for Kaby Lake, firmware fails to load Status in initramfs-tools: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Released Bug description: == SRU Justification == This firmware was optional when the MODULE_FIRMWARE statements were removed in bug 1626740 by Bionic commit dc0f16f9b50. The firmware is now available and in use, so these statements need to be added back. Without these statements, The i915 Kabylake GuC firmware is failing to load on boot, and generating dmesg errors. == Fix == Revert Bionic commit dc0f16f9b5084e6be2b8c79f8c6cd499a3451791. == Regression Potential == Low. Adding a statement back that was removed by a SAUCE patch. == Test Case == A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter. The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. == Original Bug Report == The i915 Kabylake GuC firmware is failing to load on boot, and generating dmesg errors. The Kabylake HuC firmware succeeds. All files exist. I've also verified the Kabylake GuC firmware matches the correct file size and md5 listed on 01.org. I then ran update-initramfs verbosely, and see that only /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver6_1.bin is being added. /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin and /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin seem to be ignored. I'm running a Dell XPS 13 9360 w/ Kabylake on Ubuntu 17.10 and initramfs-tools 0.125ubuntu12. Perhaps Broxton systems might have the same issue?

Disclaimer : what I did concerns 4.15.0 kernel only, on Intel machine (Assus Zenbook pro, x86_64, model: UX410UAR) Hello, Sorry for coming late, but I had the same issue some days ago (never tested before):something like Guc not loading, while Huc did. Of course I hit this page, and some other without find a complete solution. **But** after one day searching, I finaly make it work (!!) , and I'll try to explain what I did (I do not recommend to do the same, but I'll attach a patch (under MIT license, or whatever you need, just ask). The problems: 1. when you download the kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin blob from Intel site, looks like the downloaded file is an .xml file in fact, but not a binary at all. Maybe the site has an issue ? (sorry, not a website specialist) // Can someone verify btw ? 2. IIRC Intel made kbl_guc_ver9_xy.bin for Kabylake, and I simply tried to make the kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin work. Important: I found kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin blob there : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/ What I did : - I extracted kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin from linux-firmware_1.178_all.deb, and put it in /lib/firmware/i915 After that, I downloaded the most recent 4.15.0 kernel sources (on my LinuxMint 18.3) : => apt-get source linux-source-4.15.0 provided : Réception de :1 http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main linux-hwe 4.15.0-47.50~16.04.1 (dsc) [6 511 B] Réception de :2 http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main linux-hwe 4.15.0-47.50~16.04.1 (tar) [158 MB] After I downloaded the sources, I copied initrd.img-4.15.0-34-generic as .config in the kernel tree, and I simply patched the following files (in drivers/gpu/drm/i915 : - intel_guc_fw.c - intel_uc.c Comments : - In the first one, I simply modified the binary version (changing KBL_FW_MINOR from 14 to 39) - In the second one, I followed Robert M. Fosha advice (link : https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10877903/), allowing to avoind timeout and retry when trying to load the blob => see the attached patch. For the record, my current /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf contains : options i915 enable_fbc=1 fastboot=1 enable_guc_loading=1 enable_guc_submission=1 Next step was to build the kernel, the Debian way (using make -j8 deb-pkg), and after installing the debs, I got everything working at the end, including the 9_34 version of kbl_guc blob :-) : me@MyMachine ~ $ dmesg | grep i915 [2.018994] i915 :00:02.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=io+mem [2.019493] [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (v1.1) [2.031452] [drm] HuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin (version 2.0) [2.041847] [drm] GuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin (version 9.39) [2.058753] i915 :00:02.0: GuC submission enabled (firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin [version 9.39]) [2.059299] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20171023 for :00:02.0 on minor 0 [2.519645] i915 :00:02.0: fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [9.408643] snd_hda_intel :00:1f.3: bound :00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915]) Conclusion : we can use kbl_guc_ver9_34 with 4.1.5.x kernel. Not sure it is perfect, but "# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_huc_load_status" returns : HuC firmware: i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin status: fetch SUCCESS, load SUCCESS version: wanted 2.0, found 2.0 header: offset 0, size 128 uCode: offset 128, size 218304 RSA: offset 218432, size 256 HuC status 0x6080: And "# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_guc_load_status" returns: GuC firmware: i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin status: fetch SUCCESS, load SUCCESS version: wanted 9.39, found 9.39 header: offset 0, size 128 uCode: offset 128, size 147392 RSA: offset 147520, size 256 GuC status 0x800330ec: Bootrom status = 0x76 uKernel status = 0x30 MIA Core status = 0x3 Scratch registers: 0: 0xf000 1: 0x1 2: 0xfede7000 3: 0x5f5e100 4: 0x600 5: 0xcdfd3 6: 0x0 7: 0x8 8: 0x3 9: 0x70240 10: 0x0 11: 0x0 12: 0x0 13: 0x0 14: 0x0 15: 0x0 Last but not least, thanks to Intel people for their work : the HD 620** UHD works very well with mesa 19.1 devel / vulkan 1.1 !
