[Impact]
These releases provide both bug fixes and new features, and we would like to
make sure all of our users have access to these improvements.
See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs.
[Test Case]
The following development and SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NVidiaUpdates
Certification test suite must pass on a range of hardware:
https://git.launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-sru/tree/units/sru.pxu
The QA team that executed the tests will be in charge of attaching the
artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug. nVidia
maintainers team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this
has happened.
[Regression Potential]
In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
aforementioned system level tests are attached to this bug.
[Discussion]
440.40:
- * New upstream release:
- - Added support for the following GPU:
- Quadro T2000 with Max-Q Design
- - Added support for the __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE environment
- variable for Vulkan applications.
- - Fixed a bug that caused applications running directly on a
- display (such as VR HMDs) to tear when a G-SYNC or G-SYNC
- Compatible monitor is plugged in the system.
- - Fixed a bug in an error handling path that could cause a kernel
- crash while loading nvidia.ko.
- - Fixed driver installation failure on Oracle Linux 7.7 systems,
- where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error
- "unknown type name 'vm_fault_t'".
- * Changes from the 440.36 series:

+ * Changes from the 440.36 series:
- Added support for the following GPUs:
o GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER
o GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
- Fixed graphical corruption that can occur when using glslang
SPIR-V Generator Version <= 2.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when running
applications using GLX indirect rendering.
- Updated the Module.symvers sanity check, which is part of the
NVIDIA kernel module build process, to accommodate the recent
addition of a new field in the Module.symvers file format.
This fixes the error "The Module.symvers file is missing [...]"
seen during driver installation or DKMS rebuilds with Linux 5.4 RC
kernels.
- Fixed kernel module build problems with Linux kernel 5.4.0 release
candidates.
- Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect information about X server
crashes from coredumpctl, when available.
- Updated the nvidia-drm kernel module for compatibility with the
removal of the DRIVER_PRIME flag in recent Linux kernel versions.
- Enabled parallel GLSL shader linking by default; i.e., allow
GL_ARB_parallel_shader_compile to work without first calling
glMaxShaderCompilerThreadsARB().
- Added support for HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR) G-SYNC
Compatible monitors on supported GPUs.For more details, see
"Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen" in the README.
Added support for the GLX_NV_multigpu_context and GL_NV_gpu_multicast
extensions.For more details, see the "Configuring SLI and Multi-GPU
FrameRendering" chapter of the README, and the extension specifications:
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/GLX_NV_multigpu_context.txt
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/NV_gpu_multicast.txt
- Fixed a bug that prevented Vulkan applications running on systems
configured for SLI. Vulkan applications can now run while SLI is
enabled;
however, they will only be able to use a single GPU.
- Simplified the nvidia-sleep.sh sample script to no longer depend on
unreliable detection of the current VT through X server logs.
- Added EGL support for PRIME render offload. Please see the PRIME Render
Offload chapter in the README for configuration details.
- Fixed a regression introduced in 435.19.02 that would cause some
applications
which use the VK_KHR_DISPLAY extension to result in a segmentation
fault.
- Enabled HardDPMS by default. See the README entry on the X configuration
option "HardDPMS" for more information.
- Fixed a bug which caused corruption in the following DXVK titles:
Saints Row IV
Saints Row: The Third
- Added VP9 decode support to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver. See the VDPAU
Support
appendix in the README for supported VP9 decoder profiles.
- Fixed a bug that could cause heapUsage values reported by
VK_EXT_memory_budget to not immediately update after vkFreeMemory was
called.
- Changed GPU clock management strategy to more quickly ramp down clocks
after a drop in GPU utilization.
- Added X configuration option, "SidebandSocketPath", which controls the
directory in which the X driver will create a pathname UNIX domain
socket
used to communicate with the NVIDIA OpenGL, Vulkan and VDPAU driver
components.
- The X driver will now create a fallback pathname UNIX domain socket in
the directory specified by the "SidebandSocketPath" option, or /var/run
by default, which will be used by other NVIDIA driver components if they
are unable to connect to the default abstract socket.This fixes a bug
where graphics applications run within a network namespace (which
prevents
the use of abstract sockets) were unable to take advantage of some
driver
features, such as G-Sync.
- Fall back to system memory when video memory is full for some
driver-internal allocations. This can help fix Xid 13 and Xid 31 cases
in
Vulkan applications when video memory is full.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a blank screen on some DisplayPort monitors
when logging in to GNOME, if the nvidia-drm kernel module parameter
modeset=1 is specified.
- Fixed a bug that prevented NVIDIA GPUs from entering the low-power D3
state when entering suspend-to-idle (s2idle). Note that on some systems
this may expose an existing timing issue in the Linux kernel; see the
"Known Issues and Workarounds" section of the "Configuring Power
Management Support" chapter of the README for more details.
