os: Fix timer race conditions

Fixing following kind of race-conditions -

WaitForSomething()
|
  // timers - timer-1 - timer-2 - null
   while (timers  (int) (timers-expires - now) = 0)
   // prototype - DoTimer(OsTimerPtr timer, CARD32 now, 
OsTimerPtr *prev)
   DoTimer(timers, now, timers)
   |
   |
    OsBlockSignals();   OS Signal comes just before 
blocking it,
 timer-1 handler gets called.
 // timer-1 gets served and 
scheduled again;
 // timers - timer-2 - 
timer-1 - null

 *prev = timer-next;
  timer-next = NULL;   // timers - null
  // timers list gets corrupted here and timer-2 gets 
removed from list.

2014-06-05 Thread Aaron Plattner
Christopher, is there some actual discussion somewhere where licensing
is called out as a problem, or are you just referring to Stephen's
comment #325?  I'll bet it just that no one who has permission to push
updated packages has noticed this bug and I don't know how to attract
the attention of someone who does.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1037896] Re: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop

2012-08-23 Thread Aaron Plattner
As Daniel mentioned, the problem is in OpenGL.  If you are willing to
run without it, you can work around the problem for now by disabling the
glx module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding the following lines:

Section Module
Disable glx
EndSection

This issue was caused because the video driver ABI version was changed
correctly, but nobody noticed that the extension module ABI needed to be
bumped as well.  That's why the problem only affects libglx and not the
nvidia X driver.

Please note that we do not officially support pre-release or release
candidate X servers.

No, the Xid messages are not documented, they're internal error codes to
help us with debugging.  In Anoop's case, all they really mean is that
the driver stopped hearing from the graphics card suddenly and was
unable to restore communications with it.

2012-03-10 Thread Aaron Plattner
Anoop, these symptoms sound very much like a hardware problem that
causes the GPU to sometimes lose contact with the rest of the system.
Please make sure your case is free of dust and that the fans are
unobstructed, that all connectors are seated firmly, and that your power
supply has a sufficiently high power rating.  If you still experience
the problem, please try running nvidia-settings and selecting the
Thermal Settings tab to monitor the GPU temperature to see whether
it's unreasonably high when the errors occur.  Finally, if you have a
different GPU you could try in the same system, you could tell if the
one you're using is simply damaged.  Moving the GPU to a different slot,
if one is available, might also help.

2011-05-14 Thread Aaron Plattner
Thanks, Joakim.  On the contrary, that's quite interesting.  The first
four bytes should never be all 0xff if the GPU is configured correctly
by the kernel.  If the kernel has misconfigured the GPU in such a way
that it cannot respond to register reads, the driver has no hope of
working.

2011-05-04 Thread Aaron Plattner
I think that's the wrong resource0 file (for bus 0 device 2, rather than bus 2 
device 0).  Probably easier to use the symlinks:
/sys/bus/pci/devices/:02:00.0/resource0

However, you can't call read() on those files, they can only be mmap'd.
/dev/mem should work, though.  I would recommend reading a whole page:
dd if=/dev/mem of=asdf bs=4096 skip=1036288 count=1

TJ, that rm_is_supported_device function reads registers that it sounds
like are reading back as 0x.  You should be able to read the
DWORD at BAR0 offset 0.  If it reads as 0x, then the GPU is not
configured correctly.  You should be able to do that before even loading

@TJ: The BAR configuration registers are in the PCI configuration space.
I'm talking about the registeres accessed via memory read/write cycles
to the addresses configured there.  E.g., open /dev/mem and read at the
offset that lspci reports for Region 0 for your GPU.  Alternatively,
mmap /sys/devices/path/to/the/gpu/resource0 and read offset 0.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 703688] Re: [Natty] Need X-server 1.10-compatible nvidia driver (xorg-edgers ppa)

2011-02-09 Thread Aaron Plattner
xserver 1.10 doesn't exist yet, and the ABI it's going to use won't be
frozen until 1.10 RC2 (a.k.a 1.9.99.902) is released.  Until then, the
NVIDIA driver can't assume that the ABI won't change in the future.

I pinged the people responsible for releases, but didn't hear anything
back.  The official xserver 1.10 release is scheduled for Friday the
18th, according to my calendar, so hopefully RC2 will be soon.

This doesn't sound at all like a graphics driver bug, but rather a
communication problem between the various XFCE components.  The driver
does not control the appearance of fonts or icons, but simply processes
the drawing requests sent to it by applications.  Does the problem still
occur with the vesa driver?

A driver with support for the new ABI should be out relatively soon,
though I can't make any actual promises as to a release date.

If scrolling using the same driver but a different X server shows
different performance, it's highly likely that the regression is in the
X server and not the driver.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 605979] Re: Buttons rendered wrong (with white background) with nvidia-current

2010-08-03 Thread Aaron Plattner
Hi Benjamin.  This is the first I've heard of this bug, so I'll try to
take a look at it as soon as I can.

Please note that just checking for the NV-CONTROL extension is not
sufficient, because some screens may be using the NVIDIA driver while
others use different drivers.  If the extension exists, you can use
XNVCTRLIsNvScreen to query if a given screen is using the NVIDIA driver.
However, please don't do that.  I'd much rather just fix the driver if
it's broken then have a driver-specific workaround in place that we need
to get rid of eventually.

Right, the code was added for xserver 1.7.0, so Lucid should work since
it ships a newer point release of the same server branch.

You mentioned Karmic, which ships xserver 1.6.4: 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic-updates/x11/xserver-common
I would not expect that to work correctly with Vino+Compiz since it lacks the

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 353126] Re: Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org

2010-05-05 Thread Aaron Plattner
 while the screen updates under this setting, it was noticeably slower
than having visual effects set to none (no compiz)

This is expected.  When no composite manager is running, the X server
sends damage events only for the parts of the screen that changed.
Because Compiz uses a much more complex API (OpenGL) to update the
screen, it instead generates damage events that cover the whole screen.
This makes the VNC server have to read back the whole screen instead of
only a small part of it.  When I tried it, x11vnc was much better than
vino about updating the screen efficiently.

2010-04-27 Thread Aaron Plattner
Doug, the code to enable damage events for this sort of use case is only
available in relatively recent driver releases.  The code in the X
server that allows it to work was only added in the xserver 1.7
timeframe.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 353126] Re: Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org

2010-04-27 Thread Aaron Plattner
No, the legacy branches do not have the code to take advantage of the
code I added to the X server, and are unlikely to get it because those
branches are limited to support for new kernels and X servers, and
critical bug fixes only.  This is basically a new feature.  The latest
drivers do have code to take advantage of it, but it's not completely
correct as I described in my comment #245.

I hope that makes things clearer!

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 353126] Re: Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org

2010-04-26 Thread Aaron Plattner
I looked into this today and found that the NVIDIA driver does not
correctly generate damage events for a given window when the OpenGL
rendering is actually happening to a child window.  In this case, x11vnc
is listening for damage events on the root, but Compiz is rendering to
the Composite Overlay Window, which counts as a child window as far as
this code is concerned.  I'll try to fix the window hierarchy problem
for a future release.

In the meantime, you can work around the problem by using Compiz's
--use-root-window option, or by modifying Compiz to call
XCreateDamage(dpy, cow, XDamageReportNonEmpty) to trigger damage events
on the root window when it renders to the COW.

disco_stew: I don't know when an updated driver will be released.  Once
a driver is released, I'll reassign this bug to Alberto to handle the
Ubuntu nvidia-96 package update.  Presumably this bug would be an SRU

You ought to be able to work around this problem by disabling Composite

I should also mention that there's no indication in the log file that

like crashes (SEGV or BUS), unresolved symbols (ABRT), or divides by

I can't reproduce this problem.  I used the default Ubuntu GDM setup,

worked correctly, though because I get a boring purple background and a

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 200868] Re: nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf

2009-06-24 Thread Aaron Plattner
lewmur, .nvidia-settings-rc is not an executable, it's a configuration
file that nvidia-settings uses to save user preferences for the server
configuration.  Wearing my Ubuntu user hat, I would personally prefer
not having it save things like my brightness and contrast settings in
root's home directory by default.  If the gksudo change is applied and
then the bug is later fixed some other way, users will be confused when
the settings they had previously saved into ~root/.nvidia-settings-rc
are no longer applied because the program is now reading ~/.nvidia-
settings-rc instead.

Wearing my upstream maintainer hat, I don't really have a say in what
Ubuntu does here.  If there's a way of changing xorg.conf from a non-
root program in a reasonably standard and reasonably distro-agnostic
way, I'll be sure to include it upstream.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 352485] Re: X: NVidia 8800 GT not being initialized correctly

2009-05-13 Thread Aaron Plattner
Whenever you see the message, Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics
device, you need to check your kernel log to see why the kernel module
couldn't be initialized.  Your best bet is to reproduce the problem, run
nvidia-bug-report.sh, and then attach the resulting log.

** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu)
   Status: New = Incomplete

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 374141] Re: resizing window leaves garbage on screen

2009-05-13 Thread Aaron Plattner
How large is your cursor?  This looks like typical corruption that is
caused by a fundamental incompatibility between GLX and the X server's
software cursor code.  If it's larger than 64x64, please try using a
smaller cursor.  It doesn't look that big from the screenshot, but it
could have a lot of blank space in it.
