Package: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
Version: 1.2.0-1+b1
Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
When a web browser performance test was performed using the latest git version
of the surf browser
it appears the 'xserver-xorg-vide-amdgpu' driver crashes the whole system,
resulting in the
system usually hanging and the AMD RX 460 video adapter shutting off. This is
reproduceable.
How to reproduce:
* Have an AMD RX 460 video card functioning as the primary video adapter
* Clone the latest surf web browser: git clone https://git.suckless.org/surf
* Run `make` on the cloned code (install any missing dependencies then try
again)
* Run the newly compiled surf browser from the cloned directory: `./surf
browserbench.org`
* Run the 'MotionMark' performance test on the browserbench.org web page
* When the browser test begins the 'soft orbs/lights' part of the test, the
screen turns off suddenly,
and it appears the system hangs. 3 out of 5 times after the crash the
computer reboots but there is no video
Special condition:
When the 'firmware-amd-graphics' package is NOT installed, the crash does not
happen. I began to submit a
bug report for that package when 'reportbug' advised me that the bug most
likely isn't caused by a firmware
package so I canceled.
The same web browser performance test on Firefox and Chrome do not cause a
crash. No other crashes have happened
except for this one specific case when 'surf' is used for the web performance
test.
Log output:
AFTER the crash the system partition was mounted read-only from another Linux
distro. The Xorg.0.log, dmesg,
kern.log, messages and other logs have absolutely *zero* messages about the
crash itself. All of the logs
show the proper startup and functioning of the system but no shut-down-related
messages.
dmesg has this one error message during startup:
[8.179502] amdgpu :01:00.0: Invalid PCI ROM header signature: expecting
0xaa55, got 0x
System summary:
* ASUS M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3 motherboard, BIOS 0502
* AMD FX-6300 six-core processor
* ASRock Radeon RX 460 video adapter
* 8 GB RAM
