[Bug 1849084] Re: Freeze on system-resume caused by kwin and amdgpu driver

2020-09-03 Thread khitschler
Since beginning of September the bug disappeared for me. I'm not sure
what update caused it but the usual suspects are: linux-
image-5.4.0-45-generic:amd64 (5.4.0-45.49~18.04.2, automatic) with its
kernel module amdgpu.ko or some xorg-...-hwe parts or a combination of
them.

But I tried with a boot of a kernel 5.3.0-40 and the bug emerged again.
So it is more likely that it was a kernel related problem.

I have to note that I removed the line with "EnablePageFlip" within the
configuration file "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf" of my
suggested workaround #54 like this:

Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection

2020-06-17 Thread khitschler
For all who used the workaround #61: The current update xserver-xorg-
video-amdgpu-hwe-18.04:amd64 19.0.1-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 19.1.0-1~18.04.1
overwrites the file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amdgpu_drv.so (file
date May 21 09:16) and the bug returns again.

It is one step forward one step back ...

Hence either apply the workaround #61 again or step back to my suggested
workaround #54.

I can confirm that #61 removes the bug.

I'm running Kubuntu 18.04 with a hwe kernel 5.3.0-51-generic
#44~18.04.2-Ubuntu. (Not 5.3.0-53 because it contains a power off bug.)

Great! Now I hope it will find a way to an "official" update.

@jose: The above workaround seems to be related with your patch
mentioned at #42.

The function "amdgpu_present_check_flip()" returns prematurely if the
variable "info->allowPageFlip" is set to false. "info->allowPageFlip"
contains the evaluation of the configuration "OPTION_PAGE_FLIP"
evaluated from the option setting "EnablePageFlip". So the mentioned
part of code where the patch is located is never processed.

Maybe this helps a piece more.

2020-05-15 Thread khitschler
At least for me I found a reproducible workaround for the resume bug. I
found it more or less with try and error.

I added the option "EnablePageFlip" to the configuration file
"/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf" like this:

Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "off"
EndSection

and restarted. With this option set my computer always return from
suspend. I do not really know about the impact of "EnablePageFlip" but I
do not feel any significant degradation of video performance.

Maybe this will help to catch the annoying bug.

@jose: It seems that I already have installed a "amdgpu_drv.so"
containing your mentioned patch.

My package manager claims that I have installed "xserver-xorg-video-
amdgpu-hwe-18.04_19.0.1-1ubuntu1~18.04.1_amd64.deb" with version
"19.0.1-1ubuntu1~18.04.1". I compared the binary deb-package of my local
apt-archive with the package provided at launchpad.net and tracked the
originating sources. They already contain the patch. Unfortunately it
seems that the patch does not work for me.

@Richard:

I tried your suggestion without luck. The screen remains black, the
backlight was switched on. To verify I tried multiple times.

The only true workaround (with KDE) is to switch the compositor off
before turning into sleep. You have to switch the compositor on after
return from suspend. Somewhere I've found a systemctl script to manage
this automatically, but I experienced the script's working not reliable.

With KDE you have to press Shift-Alt-F12 to toggle manually the
compositor's state.

This is the output after returning from suspend with compositor switched
off:

Something seems to be wrong, but I'm not the specialist for systemctl
scripts.

I can confirm that with switched off compositor (KDE, Shift-ALT-F12)
resume is working. But I think the compositor act as trigger only and is
not the reason for the bug.

I've attached the relevant journalctl output of a current unsuccessful
resume. I started the sleep at 13th april about 20:28:06 and tried to
resume about 20:28:20. Some minutes later I logged in via ssh and
initialized a reboot.

2020-04-08 Thread khitschler
P.B. I tried to verify your observation. Without luck. First I generated
a Windows-10 bootable USB drive and managed to install and run the "AMD
Driver Auto-detect tool". On Windows it was successful to set the
computer into standby and resume. Then I've done a warm-start of the
computer an booted into Linux. Now I was able to set the machine into
standby and back to resume successfully.

The next experiment was to do a power down reset and try the
standby/resume with Linux again. It stopped with a blank black screen
with backlight switched on. After a warm start (Alt-SysReq-B) all
subsequent standby/resume cycles worked perfectly.

My guess is that after a warm start some GPU register settings remain
untouched causing success of the resume. Or in other words, the initial
setup of the GPU is missing something which is done with the first
(unsuccessful) standby/resume after power up.

My ubuntu kernel version is meanwhile 5.3.0-46-generic.

2020-04-08 Thread khitschler
This is a very interesting observation! In one of my previous posts I described 
the fact that after the first unsuccessful resume and a following soft-reset 
with Alt+SysReq+B  all subsequent resumes will succeed. 
My guess was that there was something changed in the GPU's hardware registers 
before or after the first resume. It cannot be any software influence since the 
software started again. After a cold reset the game starts again. My assumption 
was that the GPU's hardware register change was volatile.

Maybe the "AMD Driver Auto-detect tool" stores this one time change non-
volatile in any kind of configuration storage element within the GPU.
Then it behaves the same like you described. Currently I do not know of
any dual use of drivers between Linux and Windows, but to have a built-
in non-volatile configuration storage supporting the GPU is very likely.

Unfortunately I do not have a dual boot machine. I'm running only Linux.
So I'll try to create a USB-stick based Windows 10 to verify your
experience. It will take some time.

Again, very interesting ...

[Bug 1849084] Re: Freeze on system-resume caused by kwin and amdgpu driver

2020-02-27 Thread khitschler
Sorry, I made a mistake I'm running kubuntu (not Ubuntu like mentioned
in #24).

Indeed I can confirm that with a switched off compositor resume will
work. And I can confirm that resume only fails the first time after a
power up reset of the computer. When the screen turn blank after the
first time resume I do a login via SSH and initiate a reboot. After this
all suspend / resume cycles will work perfectly.

It is strange that a compositor's bug will affect the amdgpu driver
module. This snippet of journalctl log shows a line emitted by the
amdgpu module where a test runs into a timeout:

Feb 27 10:43:02 Lin kernel: PM: suspend exit
Feb 27 10:43:02 Lin systemd-sleep[2125]: System resumed.
Feb 27 10:43:02 Lin kernel: [drm] pstate TEST_DEBUG_DATA: 0xB7F6
Feb 27 10:43:02 Lin kernel: [ cut here ]

 dcn10_verify_allow_pstate_change_high+0x37/0x2d0 [amdgpu]

I've attached the log parts of a failing resume (compositor is switched on):
* 10:40 Start
* 10:42 Suspend 1st time
* 10:43 Resume 1st time
* 10:45 reboot
* 10:46 Suspend 2nd time
* 10:47 Resume second time

I think I'll try the workaround mentioned in https://forum.manjaro.org/t
/lenovo-laptop-wont-resume-after-sleep/105233/27

[Bug 1849084] Re: Freeze on system-resume caused by kwin and amdgpu driver

2020-02-16 Thread khitschler
Back to freeze on resume.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS on a Lenovo Desktop V530-15ARR with AMD
Ryzen 5 2400G with Vega 11 Graphics and a kernel 5.3.0-28-generic.

With a kernel 5.0.0-29 suspend and resume were perfect (from the users point of 
view). But I had sometimes graphic freezes during normal usage like browsing. 
So I upgraded the kernel to 5.3.0-28. This kernel shows suspend and resume 
problems. 
I think I've found a workaround for the failing suspend described at 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe/+bug/1851054 . But 
now resume sometimes traps into a black screen. 

It seems that only the first resume after a cold start fails. When
resume fail I'm able to login via SSH and to initiate a reboot.
Subsequent suspend and resumes do survive. Since I've repeated only a
few times the same experiment I'm not 100% sure about this.

Working resume: Please see attachment suspend-resume-ok.txt

Failing resume: Please see attachment suspend-resume-blank-screen,txt

[Bug 1851054] Re: suspend fails - previous kernel works

2020-02-08 Thread khitschler
I verified my guess through providing a kernel parameter at startup 
  xhci-hcd.quirks=0x0002

where the bit set is along xhci.h:
  #define XHCI_SLOW_SUSPEND BIT_ULL(17)

This quirk provide nearly the same as the patch mentioned in #5.

With kernel 5.3.0-28 and this parameter set the machine suspended
without complaining :-) Unfortunately it did not resume :-(

With kernel 5.0.0-37 and this parameter set the machine suspended and
resumed without complaining.

Since I misused the kernel parameter this maybe a side effect. If not it
is a previously covered bug. This will be a new game.

Again: If there is a kernel available with the patch applied I'm willing
to test the patch.

Then I compared to the behavior with the kernel 5.0.0-29-generic 
#31~18.04.1-Ubuntu with the proper suspend behavior from a user's view. There 
the computer also shows the kernel oops with
* RIP: 0010:irq_startup+0xe1/0xf0
but i ends with a proper suspend.

I've attached the snippet of this suspend, too.

2020-02-01 Thread khitschler
I've done some effort to get more information about the bug.

1. BIOS updates with the Lenovo tools are a bit confusing. I still stuck
at the BIOS Version O3TKT46A from 07/21/2019. I've opened a support
thread at https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Desktop-Towers/V530-15ARR-
Desktop-Tower-BIOS-update-confusion/td-p/4636769 .

2. I've recognized a difference in behavior since kernel 5.3.0-28-generic 
#30~18.04.1-Ubuntu: Wehn I put the computer into suspend it first does 
something like a kernel oops with 
* RIP: 0010:irq_startup+0xe1/0x100 
and after that it shows a few lines later
* PM: suspend_common(): xhci_pci_suspend+0x0/0xd0 returns -110
* PM: pci_pm_suspend(): hcd_pci_suspend+0x0/0x30 returns -110
* PM: dpm_run_callback(): pci_pm_suspend+0x0/0x150 returns -110
* PM: Device :04:00.4 failed to suspend async: error -110
* PM: Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected
then it follows endless repeating kernel oops with
* RIP: 0010:dcn10_verify_allow_pstate_change_high+0x37/0x2d0 [amdgpu]

I've attached the snippet of the journalctl output.

The bug propagates through all kernel updates up to 5.0.0-36. I still
stuck with 5.0.0-29.

Meanwhile and additionally I tried some BIOS updates from Lenovo without
luck. The last BIOS update was o4dj* from 10.2019.

2019-11-02 Thread khitschler
Public bug reported:

When I suspend the screen turns black and the mouse cursor remains
frozen on the black screen. There is no reaction to any key or power-
button press even Alt-Sysreq-B stays quiet. Only a hard power-up reset
helps (yes, indeed with the front button pressed a longer time).

My previous kernel was ubuntu 5.0.0-29-generic. With this kernel I had
no trouble with suspend. Since kernel ubuntu 5.0.0-31-generic or
5.0.0.32-generic suspend fails. I tried without luck the kernel
5.3.0-19-generic.

[Bug 1839752] [NEW] Ethernet did'nt wake up after suspend

2019-08-11 Thread khitschler
Public bug reported:

With the last kernel 4.18.0-25-generic there was no problem. Since
upgrade to kernel 5.0.0-23-generic ethernet did not wake up after resume
from suspend. During suspend the network link LED is flashing, after
wake up from suspend the LED is off.

I returned to the former kernel and there was no problem with ethernet
and suspend.

I found similar bug reports concerning the driver r8169, but they all
are cover earlier versions of the kernel.

Unloading and reloading the driver is a workaround.

2010-03-14 Thread khitschler
I did'nt manage to  put the boot  into the partition's boot sector
during a normal kubuntu installation. With grub-legacy I've done this
multiple times. It was my standard setup to use the MS-Windows boot
manager to choose what OS to boot. You know it: 'dd if=/dev/sda6
of=sda6.bin count=1 bs=512', move sda6.bin to Windows and adapt the
Windows boot manager's settings. But I recognized that my sda6.bin
did'nt contain what I'm expecting. So -after installing the boot into
the MBR - I tried to 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda6' and got this
messages:
