I really don't know any good approach to address this. On Windows, HDA PCI is "hidden" until HDMI cable is plugged, then the driver will flag the magic bit to make HDA audio appear on the PCI bus.

The nvidia HDA controller on the affected system only gets its power after HDMI cable plugged, so the probe on boot fails.

The way I see it there's two issues: 1) snd_hda_intel not allowing runpm (or w/e vgaswitcheroo needs) when there's missing codecs, inhibiting the entire GPU from performing runpm. This needlessly wastes lots of battery power. 2) HDMI audio not working on such machines unless it was plugged in at boot-time. The original workarounds proposed by Kai-Heng seem to fix 1), which is progress. I don't see a reason why that should be held off even if it doesn't fix 2). To fix 2), more work is needed. On a high level, I suspect nouveau should start controlling the enabling/disabling of the HDA controller based on connector events and/or connector state at module load. Currently the PCI quirk seems to enable it wholesale, and I don't know why. If no GPU driver is loaded, it's pointless to turn the HDA device on. The blob presumably doesn't need this either, as it can control the device just as well as nouveau. If it doesn't, NVIDIA should fix it rather than rely on this quirk. The only reason I can think of is that snd_hda_intel or vgaswitcheroo isn't prepared for hot(un)plugging (or alternatively reprobing) devices. Without that, we presumably won't solve issue 2). Can I ask someone with more technical knowledge of snd_hda_intel and vgaswitcheroo to brainstorm about the possible challenges of nouveau taking matters into its own hand rather than keeping this PCI quirk around?

It sounds to me like the HDA is not powered if no cable is plugged in. What is reponsible then for powering it up or down, firmware code on the GPU or in the host's BIOS? Ideally, we should try to find out how to control HDA power from the operating system rather than trying to cooperate with whatever firmware is doing. If we have that capability, the OS should power the HDA up and down as it sees fit.

So the requirement here is that the audio driver can't try to talk to the audio function while the graphics function is asleep, and must trigger a graphics function wakeup before trying to communicate with the audio function. I think there are also requirements about the audio function needing to be awake when the graphics driver is updating the ELD, but I'm not sure. This is harder on Windows because the audio driver lives in its own little world doing its own thing but on Linux we can do better. >> Ideally, we should try to find out how to control HDA power from the >> operating system rather than trying to cooperate with whatever firmware >> is doing.

After system boot, I don't think there's any firmware involved, but I'm not super familiar with the low-level details and it's possible the situation changed since I last looked at it. I think the problem with having nouveau write this quirk is that the kernel will need to re-probe the PCI device to notice that it has suddenly become a multi-function device with an audio function, and hotplug the audio driver. I originally looked into trying to do that but it was tricky because the PCI subsystem didn't really have a mechanism for a single-function device to become a multi-function device on the fly and it seemed easier to enable it early on during bus enumeration. That way the kernel sees both functions all the time without anything else having to be special about this configuration. -- Aaron >> Thanks, >> >> Lukas _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

Right, so for a little more context: a while ago I noticed that my laptop (lucky me, Asus K501UB) has a 940M with HDA but no codec. Seems legit, given how this GPU has no displays attached; they're all hooked up to the Intel integrated GPU. That threw off the snd_hda_intel mid-probe, and as a result didn't permit runpm, keeping the entire GPU, PCIe bus and thus the CPU package awake. A bit of hackerly later we decided to continue probing without a codec, and now my laptop is happy, but... A new problem popped up with several other NVIDIA GPUs that expose their HDA subdevice, but somehow its inaccessible. Relevant lines from a users' log: [ 3.031222] MXM: GUID detected in BIOS [ 3.031280] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT, Index (0x000000003) is beyond end of object (length 0x0) (20200925/exoparg2-393) [ 3.031352] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DSM due to previous error (AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT) (20200925/psparse-529) [ 3.031419] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0: failed to evaluate _DSM (0x300b) [ 3.031424] ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20200925/nsarguments-61) [ 3.031619] pci 0000:00:02.0: optimus capabilities: enabled, status dynamic power, [ 3.031667] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT, Index (0x000000003) is beyond end of object (length 0x0) (20200925/exoparg2-393) [ 3.031731] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DSM due to previous error (AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT) (20200925/psparse-529) [ 3.031791] ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM due to previous error (AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT) (20200925/psparse-529) [ 3.031856] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP: failed to evaluate _DSM (0x300b) [ 3.031859] ACPI Warning: \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20200925/nsarguments-61) [ 3.032058] pci 0000:01:00.0: optimus capabilities: enabled, status dynamic power, [ 3.032061] VGA switcheroo: detected Optimus DSM method \_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP handle [ 3.032323] checking generic (d0000000 410000) vs hw (f6000000 1000000) [ 3.032325] checking generic (d0000000 410000) vs hw (e0000000 10000000) [ 3.032326] checking generic (d0000000 410000) vs hw (f0000000 2000000) [ 3.032410] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: NVIDIA GK107 (0e71f0a2) [ 3.042385] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bios: version 80.07.a0.00.11 --- snip --- [ 8.951478] snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space inaccessible) [ 8.951509] snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: can't change power state from D3hot to D0 (config space inaccessible) [ 8.951608] snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: Disabling MSI [ 8.951621] snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: Handle vga_switcheroo audio client [ 8.952461] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: bound 0000:00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915]) [ 8.952642] snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: number of I/O streams is 30, forcing separate stream tags Now I don't know what's going on, but the snd_hda_intel messages are ominous. And so are the ACPI warnings. But I don't know how much these two are related. You say that it is desirable to switch on HDA at boot-time because the PCI subsystem doesn't play nicely with changing a device to multi-function. That rules out the option of only enabling the HDA device once a cable is plugged in. Are there any other trap doors that snd_hda_intel needs to navigate around to make this work fault free on all hardware, such as: - Codecs not revealing themselves until a display is plugged in, requiring perhaps a "codec reprobe" and "codec remove" event from nouveau/rm to snd_hda_intel, - Borked BIOSes just blindly assigning the MMIO space of the HDA device to another device, or nothing at all, - ... other things that might give any of us nightmares and heart burn?

If it has no display outputs it's probably 0x302 ("3D Controller") rather than 0x300 ("VGA Controller"). Looking at the code it looks like this workaround is being applied to both but maybe it should be restricted to just VGA controllers. -- Aaron > A new problem popped up with several other NVIDIA GPUs that expose > their HDA subdevice, but somehow its inaccessible.

That was a comment I had back when the quirk was being implemented, but helpfully there are some of these devices running around which say "3D Controller" but still have displays attached to them.

If the GPU is turned off, there is no point in communicating with the audio device anyway. The driver should do the initial probe and leave the device be unless it's actively used.

Well, we do have this pci/quirk.c thing, no? Nouveau does flip the bit, but I am actually not sure if that's even doing something anymore. Maybe in the runtime_resume case it's still relevant but not sure _when_ DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_RESUME_EARLY is triggered, it does seem to be called even in the runtime_resume case though. > > Right, so for a little more context: a while ago I noticed that my > laptop (lucky me, Asus K501UB) has a 940M with HDA but no codec.

The problem, as stated a few e-mails earlier, is that the HDA errors currently prevent snd_hda_intel from properly probing the device and registering it with vgaswitcheroo. As a result, the GPU always stays in DynPwr rather than DynOff even when it's unused, keeping the PCIe bus and the CPU package powered. Basically burning through a charged battery a lot quicker than need be. If we go back a mile on the e-mail thread, I think the problem was narrowed down to snd_hda_intel reading an invalid codec mask on the config space, and using it anyway. That being said, I believe there are also reports of users that don't get HDMI audio unless the cable was plugged in at boot-time, with similar messages in their logs. The codec might in such cases be hiding themselves until a cable is plugged in? @Aaron Plattner: does that latter observation sound right to you? > >> You say that it is desirable to switch on HDA at boot-time because the >> PCI subsystem doesn't play nicely with changing a device to >> multi-function.

I'm in favour of pushing forward the original fix that makes snd_hda_intel not fail on reading an invalid codec mask, and have it register the device with vgaswitcheroo so we can send it to DynOff. With the current snd_hda_intel architecture that seems simpler than failing to probe and unmapping the driver from the device. However, the issue of no HDMI sound unless plugged in as boot is/might be related, and needs to be on someone's agenda. >>> >>>> You say that it is desirable to switch on HDA at boot-time because the >>>> PCI subsystem doesn't play nicely with changing a device to >>>> multi-function.

I am not sure how "dynamic" audio devices are in general, but it sounds like that devices usually just expose everything and are done with it. In the end the GPU can wake up for any reason. you might start rendering and then you plug in the connector and honestly.. I think snd_hda_intel has to be able to recheck for changed configuration, because I have no idea what nouveau could do here anyway? What I think we need to figure out is, what exactly is changing the audio device, it might be some bits in the nouveau loading code or it might indeed be something the device itself is doing? dunno... Maybe some of the vbios scripts are doing something as well? I think having access to such a system would allow us to dig deeper and I think we need this understanding before throwing in random suggestions on what to do.
