** Tags removed: kernel-fixed-upstream ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing yakkety ** Description changed: A Dell Inspiron 5448 / 0YDTG3 laptop (BIOS A06 10/12/2015), which used to work well with Ubuntu trusty and Ubuntu wily releases (using fglrx driver), has an issue in Xenial where when the amdgpu driver tries to activate the Radeon GPU, a NULL pointer dereference occurs, causing the caller process to hang.

[Bug 1579374] Re: amdgpu causes NULL pointer dereference when trying to use Topaz (Radeon R7 M265) GPU
Hi Andre, I also have upgraded to 16.10, hoping for the bug to be fixed, as everything seemed to go smooth until kernel 4.7. However, I still got kernel panics. In short, kernel 4.5 didn't have the bug: it was introduced by the backport Canonical made of amdgpu to 4.4. However the same bug, or a very similar one, was introduced as a regression in 4.8 (even vanilla 4.8). However I found some workaround which prevents amdgpu from loading and crashing the system. Since then I lost the interest to make a patch to fix this: it's too much work to get only the Intel GPU working (the AMD GPU would not work anyway with the open drivers). But it still would be nice if Ubuntu could ship with a kernel that doesn't crash on hardware that came with Ubuntu OEM (which, at least theoretically, should be tested by Canonical). If someone could go after this and fix the issue, it would be nice for the people who upgrade their Ubuntu OEM not to get an unusable system after reboot. The workaround I'm currently using is as follows: /etc/default/grub: Add amdgpu.runpm=0 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT /etc/rc.local: Add the following command: echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Create the file if it doesn't exist, and add the following in order to get the backlight controls working (otherwise it would be misdetected): Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" EndSection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579374 Title: amdgpu causes NULL pointer dereference when trying to use Topaz (Radeon R7 M265) GPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1579374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1579374] Re: amdgpu causes NULL pointer dereference when trying to use Topaz (Radeon R7 M265) GPU
Will bisect work in this case? I had understood from the release notes that most of the 4.5-vanilla's amdgpu was backported to Ubuntu's 4.4 kernel. As I commented in the first message, 4.5.0 does not present the NULL ptr dereference, so it would not really be a bisect from 4.4 to 4.6-rc7, but from 4.4 to 4.5.0. However, would it make sense to carry this bisect since the amdgpu driver present in vanilla's 4.4 is completely different from the one shipped in Ubuntu's 4.4 kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579374 Title: amdgpu causes NULL pointer dereference when trying to use Topaz (Radeon R7 M265) GPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1579374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Paulo Matias, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from kernel 4.4 to 4.6-rc7 in order to identify the last bad commit, followed immediately by the first good one. Once this good commit has been identified, it may be reviewed for backporting. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F ? Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting. After the fix commit (not kernel version) has been identified, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

I'm not sure if it helps to share it, but a couple o days before you created this thread I posted the same bug with my personal notebook crash report on AskUbuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/767163/ubuntu-16-kernel-bug-oops--1-smp-related-to-amdgpu/772787 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579374 Title: amdgpu causes NULL pointer dereference when trying to use Topaz (Radeon R7 M265) GPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1579374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1579374] Re: amdgpu causes NULL pointer dereference when trying to use Topaz (Radeon R7 M265) GPU
Behavior with 4.6.0-040600rc7-generic appears to be even saner than with
4.5.0-050400, although the AMD GPU is still not usable ("DRI_PRIME=1
glxgears" opens a black window).
Only after reporting this bug, I found that 4.5.0-050400 presented
issues with sound output in the HDMI port (sound output at a lower
sampling rate, maybe half, than it was supposed to). These issues are
fixed in 4.6.0-040600rc7-generic.
Also, 4.6.0-040600rc7-generic does not present any errors in dmesg
output when trying to use the AMD GPU (again "DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears"):

Whereas 4.5.0-050400 used to output the same kind of error message presented by
xenial's 4.4 kernel ("*ERROR* amdgpu: cp failed to lock ring N (-2)"), although
the NULL pointer dereference was already fixed in 4.5.0-050400.
In short, the NULL pointer dereference is fixed upstream. With upstream
kernel, the system appears to run pretty stably using the Intel GPU as
the renderer, whereas xenial's 4.4 kernel would constantly crash.
However, the AMD GPU is still not usable even with upstream kernel, as
it renders empty (black) output.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.6 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.
