Re: [Nouveau] [Bug 94990] Latest 4.6rc4 kernel, no booting on gtx970

[Efrem Mc]

In reference, I do use the nouveau driver on non-CUDA development systems.
I like how the development teams respond to bugs and fixes.  There are some
differences in the behavior of the kernels between 4.6.x and 4.7.x with the
video drivers.  I am not sure if is related to libdrm, mesa, of libGL
types.  I have a 960 GTX which is in the same product family as the 970
GTX.  Had problems with the 4.7.0 kernel and reverted back to the 4.6.5
kernel and working with some limitations.

I have to install the Nvidia driver on on development systems because I am
doing some programming with CUDA.  I use the CUDA Toolkit in C/C++.  I am
converting some of the software over to OpenACC.  OpenACC has it own
compilers but CUDA requires the non-free driver because the tools
communication to the driver with the APIs.

I do not use the non-free Nvidia driver because it causes many more problems
than it solves: every kernel upgrade might break things until a new driver is
released. At least with the nouveau, it's more in sync.  Well, this bug none

It increases the size of nv50_instobj objects that report the size of 0x3000.

Struct "nv50_instobj" has size of 0x3000 but it's parent structure
"nvkm_gpuobj" reports different size, a size of 0x97000.

All the other instances of nvkm_gpuobj and their child nv50_instobj report
similar size size to each other so they are fine.

It is a mystery to me why the sizes doesn't match, because if I understand
correctly the sizes are reported by the GPU itself.

Hi Ilia,

I applied your patch and my system now boots up. I saw an login-screen-image
from before the boot for a split-second.  apart from that, it seems to run
fine. (no stress testing done, just firefox and some gnome terminals...)


what does your patch do? increase the reported size of some of the objects?

So, I just install fresh Fedora 24 with kernel-4.5.5, then remove nouveau from
system completely:

1. # echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

2. Paste ‘rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau’ to end of ‘GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”…”  in
/etc/sysconfig/grub

3. # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

4. # dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau

5. # dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

After this steps reboot, upgrade system to kernel-4.6.5, and install nVidia
proprietary driver. Everything works just fine.

patch, possible fix

After some messing around i am able to boot.

I noticed it crashes only when initializing certain nvkm_gpuobj, which has it
'nvkm_gpuobj->size' bigger then 'nv50_instobj(memory)->mem->size <<
NVKM_RAM_MM_SHIFT'.

catching that specific case made it better.

from your kernel directory do 'git apply
0001-nvkm_gpuobj-size-is-smaller-then-nvkm_gpuobj-size-ca.patch

and if you can post the boot log.

Hi QA:

 I had can to create the manual blacklist entry for nouveau.   I did this
because I wanted to use the non-free driver.  This is also required if you
want to use the Intel HD internal graphics card with a Nvidia chip set as a
secondary card.

The first edit will disable nouveau and verify by "lsmod | grep -i nouveau"



Manual edits required to get this working.

1. Created blacklist entry, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist­nouveau.conf as shown
below

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist­nouveau.conf

blacklist nouveau

options nouveau modeset=0

2. kernel option used, nomodeset

Below (lines below) if you want to use the Nvidia non-free driver support:

3. Used Nvidia xconfig tool, nvidia­xconfig

4. Edit the file manually to see what drivers were being used , it should
state: Drivers “nvidia”

5. ** Special note, I have two separate video GPU cards and decided to use
individual heads, device1, device2


Now after booting, Nvidia drivers are working because the X server came up.
I noticed that

'num­lock' was off. Verification of X is as follows:

1. Verify what is in proc, lsmod, dmesg messages

# cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version

NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 352.30 Tue Jul 21 18:53:45
PDT 2015

GCC version: gcc version 4.8.3 20140106 (OpenMandriva Association) (Linaro
GCC 4.8­2014.01)

This is the driver we wanted, 352.30, installed from 'mcc'; manual edits
required for the blacklist

file creation. The installation needs to create something. The Nvidia
installer does create a file for

you using their manual installation method by executing the driver
installation .run.

2. Verify X log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

3. Run Nvidia settings and Nvidia System Management Interface tool,
nvidia­settings, a X tool,

and nvidia­smi, System Management interface tool

Nvidia­smi, reports the driver version match such as in
proc/driver/nvidia/version and reports the

GPU(s). GPU­0, is the 960; GPU­1, is the 730 card. I want to run the 960 as
the primary (a

physical connection to a 24in monitor).

PS, I have used this in the past.  You can also try using "acpi_osi=Linux"
on the kernel command line.
This allows be to boot with the Nvidia card as a primary video source with
the Intel HD graphics card disabled in BIOS.

I have found that the BIOS is disabled and initfs still loads the i915
driver module

[Nouveau] [Bug 94990] Latest 4.6rc4 kernel, no booting on gtx970

Right, `nouveau.modeset=0` wont’t prevent Nouveau from loading, however the
driver is in a "disable" state and won’t do a thing:

> modeset
> Whether the driver should be enabled. 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled, 2 for 
> headless

Add it in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to the kernel commandline for the kernel you
want to boot, or change the boot config inside grub2 for a oneshot (F12). But
you should have just googled that ;-)

For the record, I had dealt with this problem too, boots fine on 4.5.* but not
4.6 (as of today). I have also tried a GTX 960 and a GTX 980 (4GB) (now my
current). Fedora 24 boots fine with each of those cards on 4.6. The EVGA GTX
970 (4GB) did not boot (at all) on kernel 4.6. However it will boot under 4.5
but the monitor(s) connected to the 970 card will not work. (I run two cards).

Btw. I try to boot Arch Live CD, kernel 4.6.4 with option "nouveau.modeset=0"
and it works.

Allocating instmem from the lower VRAM partition (<3.5GB) results in a
successfull boot. Looks like this is the fix.

Tried on a 4GB GM206 / 4.6.4, it passed without any issue:

... and then I could run glmark2 without any error.

Tried messing with the WPR address to make it invalid and see if I could get
the same error. It happens to be different:

[   31.729804] nouveau :01:00.0: priv: GPC0: 419df4  (1b40820e)

[   33.732035] nouveau :01:00.0: gr: init failed, -16

So not sure where this REGION_VIOLATION comes from. Guess I will need to ping
the fw people at NVIDIA...

Looks like we are narrowing it down. This may be a bug in the firmware itself
when dealing with high addresses. Let me check on my side which address the ACR
is loaded, and if I can force a lower address for it.

Same symptoms, running either `kernel-4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64` or

I've appended the dmesg, the kernel source was linux-next as of 2016-06-24 with

Booted the last kernel from tumbleweed with debug on (4.6.2-1).

Firmware MD5's are the same as mentioned.

DMESG output posted above, as mentioned I left the beginning intact, but cutted
rest off due to file being very large (65 MB, it never stops spamming the fifo
message).

If you'll need more info / something specific, just mention it, will follow the
bug.

Hi,

Ok, so it seems I'm affected too: my desktop with GTX970 doesn't boot kernel
4.6 (comes with recent openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot release). Although it does
boot 4.5.4 kernel, from which I'm writing this comment.

I've found this issue by googling "timeout at
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/secboot/base.c:145" message from my logs.

Relevant log parts are pretty much identical for me, I can post them here, if
needed. 

Firmware checksums are identical. Haven't tried NvForcePost=1 and pci_msi=off
yet, will try later if needed.

Anyway, +1 here.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA770
Videocard: GTX 970 by MSI
UEFI and SecureBoot are enabled.

Added Patch and NvForcePost=1 

Result is the Same. I did not enable MSI by bootparamter, it looks like its

Hi,

Not sure why you enabled MSI - I asked if you could set NvForcePost, not NvMSI?
Or maybe you posted on the wrong bug?

My gut feeling is more and more that for some reason devinit is not ran by the
bios and the heuristic in 4.6 does not detect this (which is why I wanted to
try NvForcePost). If you are compiling your own kernel, could you try applying
the following patch and see if things are improving?

YaST2/mkinitrd.log:W: Possible missing firmware 
"nvidia/gm204/acr/bl.bin" for kernel module "nouveau.ko"

Same message for all .bin files on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The files were all there under /lib/firmware/nvidia/gm204.
Forcing a reinstall of the kernel-firmware package solved it.

Hi,

Your latest comments seem to indicate that the issue is not related to firmware
- it just happens to manifest itself at this stage as well when firmware is
loaded.

2 things to try:

1) Can you try loading Nouveau with the "config=NvForcePost=1" option? Adding
"nouveau.config=NvForcePost=1" to your kernel command line should do it.

2) Can I get a full log of you booting with the /lib/firmware directory
removed, or can you confirm that when you can see Nouveau complaining about the
firmware when you boot in this configuration?

Thanks!

Yes, iam booting with intel-gpu and nvidia-gtx970 card activated. There is a
picture on the intel screen. If i disable the intel gpu in the bios, there is
no output on the nvidia screen.

I try to ssh to the machine, with disabled intel-gpu.

I have a modiefied Bios in the GTX970. Could this be the answer? I disabled the
Fan on the gtx970 under 50C. But everything works on Windows10 and kernel 4.5.0
with nouvau driver.

This line in the log looks kinda suspicious to me:

[2.278551] nouveau :01:00.0: enabling device ( -> 0003)

I am not seeing it on my end ; could this mean that the Geforce card is a
secondary display device, and that the integrated Intel graphics is the main
one?

In this case maybe you need this patch, which is not in -rc4:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2016-April/024523.html

Also I am surprised by the report that the screen goes blank after this -
failure to initialize GR should not interfere with the ability to display a
framebuffer (only acceleration will be disabled).

Let's make another experiment: can you move /lib/firmware/nvidia/gm204
somewhere else, reboot (you will see a complain about missing firmware files in
the boot log), and tell us whether the display is active after that?

Thanks!

Successfully booted with your config on 4.6-rc4 and a GM206 (GTX 960). I am
trying to get my hands on a GTX970 to see if this is specific to the card.

Are you able/willing to compile custom Nouveau modules in order to get more
debug information?

Yes, its a clean 4.6-rc4, from kernel.org.

I Post the .config in 10h.

Ok, md5sums are correct, so your firmware is not corrupted.

I will try to reproduce on the same setup as you (GTX970/4.6-rc4) - can you
confirm that you are using pure 4.6-rc4 without any extra patch? Also, can you
run

$ cat /proc/config.gz >config.gz

and attach the created config.gz file?

Thanks!

Does it work fine on a cold boot, but only fails on a warm boot? (Is that what
you mean by "after rebooting"?)
