Can you bisect?

P.S. Please enable CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC in your kernel build, to make the
backtraces in dmesg more useful.

I don't think it is reasonable because something bad happens between the 4.18
to 4.19 jump, then I would have to bisect on thousands of commits.
Additionnaly, I had to remove my git repo of 4.18 and clone again 4.19 because
git was unable to perform the pull, even with reset and force (I probably don't
know some git magic here): lost the last working 4.18 commit.

I would need to know what drm/amdgpu related commits where added from
4.18->4.19, the person who did this has this knowledge.

I'll try to fool around with git to see if I can manage something in the mean
time (with dates and targetting drm/amdgpu directories).

ORC breaks linux build. Only guess compile (actually kbuild and kconfig are
quite broken in this 4.19), but it's an optimized build without symbols.

I did a manual bisection and got lucky:

faulty commit: 019cddc88f9e4ae0de2c76802f7137210c2101aa on amd-staging-drm-next

this commit is i2c related, right before the commit
5e8704ac1cfa9fceef94fcc457e18613b1589b34 which is the drm-next commit.

That's a pure merge commit, so it's unlikely to be the one that actually caused
the problem.

Without a plausible bisection result or at least usable backtraces in dmesg, no
progress can be made here.

I tested several times that:
         - this commit is failing.
         - the commit right before this one was working.

Then, I can reasonably say, this commit, whatever its type, is the one breaking
displayport programming.

Then, the code breaking displayport would be here: how hard this is to figure
out what code related to displayport was modified?

I can test again several times that this is the faulty commit.

A merge commit has two parents so you need to test both. It is possible that a
merge commit did indeed introduce the bug but *highly* unlikely. (apologies if
you knew all of this)

Sylvain: Are you familiar with "git bisect"? "git bisect" automatically take
care of merge commits. Also it minimizes the number of tests you need to do.

Bugzilla: The tool which preserves all my stupid errors for eternity. :-/

Sorry, I just read the previous comments and of course you used git bisect
already... Still you should test both parents of a merge commit to be sure.

When my git bisect ends at a merge commit, usually I messed up the build during
bisection (e.g. running a previous build by mistake).

Ok, I got it. Since my git knowledge is quite limited, this "merge" commit is
opening a vast sea of new commits to test. 

I'll dive into bisection using bisect (which actually deals with those merge
commits). I am a bit scared of the amount of commits, may take hours/days.

Please, in the foreseable futur, do not make amd-staging-drm-next lag that
much.

Coming back once I get the faulty _simple_ commit, wish me luck.

Don't worry: If your problem is immediately obvious after booting this should
be not too bad. You can also use the versions you build manually to "seed" the
git bisection process. That way you reduce the number of bisection steps a bit.

If you encounter non-bootable kernels please use "git bisect skip" - this is
important! DO NOT mark as "good"/"bad" in these cases.

I think the "drm-next" thing was mandated by Linus so there is not much which
can be done at this point. But anyway if you have an easily reproducible
problem bisection is not too bad.

That's not consistent with the merge commit you identified earlier. So I'm
afraid it's likely that you incorrectly classified some commits as good or bad.
Maybe the problem doesn't occur 100% consistently even with bad commits, so try
testing longer / more times before declaring a commit as good.

Not consistent? Could you be more specific? Some git magic I forgot again?
This time I used git bisect to go through "merge" commits properly.

I did test countless times those commits: that would mean this TSC code would
"side-effect" an ultra-rare bad condition into an nearly-all-the-time bad
condition. That amount of bad luck?

Whatever, I'll update amd-staging-drm-next, and go through a full bisection
again. I'll need probably days (lucky: I don't work).

"this commit" being 019cddc88f9e4ae0de2c76802f7137210c2101aa (the I2C merge),
which has two parents. Both of those parent commits contain commit
e2a9ca29b5edc89da2fddeae30e1070b272395c5 (a TSC commit) as part of their
history. So you previously considered commit
e2a9ca29b5edc89da2fddeae30e1070b272395c5 as both bad and good. That's the
inconsistency.

This most likely means that you're not yet able to reliably determine that a
given commit is bad, e.g. due to not testing (long) enough.

Wow! Then it is even worse of what I thought. Due to the violent leap from 4.18
to 4.19, there are zillions of commits, and even nlog(n) bisect will give me
ten_s_ of commits to test.

Please, could you refine your "long enough" for a blocker pb which happens at boot,
once xorg tries to program my displayport screen. That would be based on your
experience, something to give me the order of the "long enough".

That said, I have a hinch. I am going to setup a much cleaner test env: it's a
custom distro which boots in _really_ a few seconds (not in the range of most
mainstream distros boot time)-->I am going to slow it down, on purpose
(certainly in more than 1 spot). Then, I have an efi framebuffer and I saw some
issues about this->I am going to get rid of it. Then, I am not confident in my
monitor (see my other bugs), I may use the previous artificial slow down, to
power cycle the monitor, before xorg tries to detect and program it. Well, I'll
try to figure a way to put my monitor in a "probably" cleaner state (in respect
of displayport hotplug support). Oh, and just in case of, I'll stick to the
performance cpu governor.

If you have any advice about this based on your experience at knowledge , which
I cannot match, I'm all eyes and hears.

Wow! Then it is even worse of what I thought. Due to the violent leap from 4.18
to 4.19, there are zillions of commits, and even nlog(n) bisect will give me
ten_s_ of commits to test.

Please, could you refine your "long enough" for a blocker pb which happens at
boot,
once xorg tries to program my displayport screen. That would be based on your
experience, something to give me the order of the "long enough".

That said, I have a hinch. I am going to setup a much cleaner test env: it's a
custom distro which boots in _really_ a few seconds (not in the range of most
mainstream distros boot time)-->I am going to slow it down, on purpose
(certainly in more than 1 spot). Then, I have an efi framebuffer and I saw some
issues about this->I am going to get rid of it. Then, I am not confident in my
monitor (see my other bugs), I may use the previous artificial slow down, to
power cycle the monitor, before xorg tries to detect and program it. Well, I'll
try to figure a way to put my monitor in a "probably" cleaner state (in respect
of displayport hotplug support). Oh, and just in case of, I'll stick to the
performance cpu governor.

If you have any advice about this based on your experience at knowledge , which
I cannot match, I'm all eyes and hears.

Re: [Bug 107784] [AMD tahiti XT] displayport broken

[sylvain.bertrand]

Got something, sort of obvious for a human, impossible for bisect to know,
which explains why this bisection was a failure:
testing a commit in the middle of a series of commits which are to be taken as
a whole to be consistent for normal operations of the kernel, is wrong. That,
bisect cannot know.

In my case, the TSC commits are "good"... and testing time has nothing to do
with this: testing a commit in the middle of this series will have a side
effect (DP link/aux timings...) on what I am observing to decide if a commit is
"bad" or "good". In my case it will break this observable (my DP monitor is
_really_ not working) and I'll tag the commit as "bad", which is inconsistent.

The bottom of this, which is _obvious_ for an experienced git user on large
projects, at the time of big merges on the main branch of a project like linux,
if something breaks, bisect is probably more your enemy than your friend: it is
ok to ask "Can you bisect?" on a sub-sub-system branch which has been free from
big merges from any related other subsystems for a good while, but almost an
insult on such massive update.

    cyc2ns converts tsc to nanoseconds, and it is handled in a per-cpu data

    Currently, the setup code for c2ns data for every possible CPU goes through
    the same sequence of calculations as for the boot CPU, but is based on the
    same tsc frequency as the boot CPU, and thus this is not necessary.
    
    Initialize the boot cpu when tsc frequency is determined. Copy the
    calculated data from the boot CPU to the other CPUs in tsc_init().
    
    In addition do the following:
    
     - Remove unnecessary zeroing of c2ns data by removing cyc2ns_data_init()
    
     - Split set_cyc2ns_scale() into two functions, so set_cyc2ns_scale() can be

Re: [Bug 107784] [AMD tahiti XT] displayport broken

[sylvain.bertrand]

Found the bug, very probably.

It seems to be an upstream bug: a 32bits multiplication overflow on TSC
frequency introduced in recent TSC cleanup:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
commit cf7a63ef4e0203f6f33284c69e8188d91422de83
Author: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com>
Date:   Thu Jul 19 16:55:38 2018 -0400

    x86/tsc: Calibrate tsc only once
    
    During boot tsc is calibrated twice: once in tsc_early_delay_calibrate(),
    and the second time in tsc_init().
    
    Rename tsc_early_delay_calibrate() to tsc_early_init(), and rework it so
    the calibration is done only early, and make tsc_init() to use the values
    already determined in tsc_early_init().
    
    Sometimes it is not possible to determine tsc early, as the subsystem that
    is required is not yet initialized, in such case try again later in
    tsc_init().
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One nasty thing: this commit is broken, it does not compile, hence it's a
bisect "skipped" commit.

Roughly, if you have a cpu with a frequency above 4.2GHz (max unsigned 32bits),
linux time subsystem gets broken leading to the timeouts in displayport
programming. Ofc, my cpu runs at 4.7GHz.

I hit the bug on AMD FX-9590 machine with RX 580 and 2 displayport monitors. As
for you bisect wasn't successful for me and led me to network merge commit. 

Looks like you're right! If I downclock the CPU to 4.2 GHz then current
mainline master (f8f65382c98a28e3c2b20) boots fine.
