Bug ID: 201763 Summary: amdgpu: [powerplay] VBIOS did not find boot engine clock value in dependency table. Using Memory DPM level 0! Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.18.10 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: rbrito@ime.usp.br Regression: No
Dear developers,
I have a notebook that is giving me a lot of trouble, especially as it is the newest computer that I have at my disposal where I can perform any actual work.
This notebook has VERY frequent lockups (hard freezes, where the screen displays something where I am working, but the keyboard does not respond, the mouse doesn't either etc.).
The only way that I can resume any work is by forcibly shutting it down (by pushing the power button for many seconds) and, of course, having all previous unsaved work lost (including a previous report of this bug with the bugzilla interface). :-(
There is no particular pattern that I could discover so far that triggers the problem (for the past year, at least), but I do see some error messages on my dmesg logs and I would like start with some of the more salient points by sharing some problems that I have and, perhaps, zero in on potentially loose ends that may help everybody with hardware that is similar.
The notebook in question is a Dell Inspiron 5548 with a Core i7-5500U, with two graphic cards (or so I am told), with one of them being integrated with the CPU and another being a discrete AMD GPU.
The userspace that I am using is a Debian testing (soon to be Debian 10) with Debian's kernel 4.18.0-2-amd64 (which is actually a kernel 4.18.10-2). I can, of course, test any other kernels for the sake of getting things fixed. Just let me know and I will do my best to fix things.
BTW, no kernel that I have ever used on this machine has every worked perfectly, even the prebuilt, unpatched kernels that Ubuntu compiles daily.
With that being said, when the kernel boots up, there are some red messages on the dmesg log that are related to this AMD GPU (the entire dmesg log will be attached) with some prominent lines being:

Well, that's it. Please let me know whatever information you want me to get and I will post it here.
Reiterating: I can compile kernels and or run other programs to diagnose anything that you want me to to fix these issues.
Thanks in advance,
Rogério Brito.
