[Bug 69723] New: Computer freezes with kernel 3.11.0 / 3.12-rc1 (with bug 68235's patches applied) when dpm=1 on r600g (Cayman)
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723
Priority: medium Bug ID: 69723 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: Computer freezes with kernel 3.11.0 / 3.12-rc1 (with bug 68235's patches applied) when dpm=1 on r600g (Cayman) Severity: critical Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com Hardware: All Status: NEW Version: XOrg CVS Component: DRM/Radeon Product: DRI
In bug 68235, the display was freezing with kernel 3.11.0 (also tested with 3.12-rc1) either at logon or shortly after. It was possible to access the machine through ssh. Since applied patches, the max clocks are detected, allowing the computer to run normally.
However, at some point, it always ends up frozen (it can be just sitting there, nothing being done on the computer). The frozen state is deeper than before since it's impossible to access the machine through ssh. I've tested the computer by playing Dota2 and, until now, it doesn't seem related to the card working harder or not.
Logs don't show anything for the moment, I'll have to push the debug state a bit further.
Any suggestion where to start to give us a clue on what is triggering the freeze?

Try this patch and see if you can narrow down which, if any, of these features is problematic.

--- Comment #2 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- It doesn't seem to be one of these, it still happens. While it is not always related to a change in power state, I do experience it more often when I'm launching games or just after I hear the fan accelerate.

--- Comment #3 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- I'll try playing with patch 85578, which was the same thing as this patch with a bit more. I'm pretty sure we are hitting something wrong again with mclk, but in a different case than the one fixed in bug 68235.

--- Comment #4 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Definitively something about sclk or mclk and the voltages, but I haven't had the time to dig deeper for now. I've added some printk to be sure everything was being maxed as supposed. Could it be a combo between freq and voltage?

Take a look at ni_apply_state_adjust_rules() to see how the power state is adjusted based on various factors.
Ok, but I may have to wait until this weekend or at the beginning of next week to do so, I may not have some spare time until then.

--- Comment #7 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Alex, using debugfs, should I see the maxed values (sclk and mclk) or the theorical value from the table? For now, even if I have confirmation in dmesg the values were maxed out, looking in debugfs gives me: uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 power level 2 sclk: 83000 mclk: 130000 vddc: 1060 vddci: 1150 (it should be sclk: 80000 mclk: 125000...)

IIRC, it references the unpatched power state so you'll see the unpatched state. The hw just returns an index which is used to look up the state attributes.

--- Comment #10 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Just to be sure: vddc is associated only to sclk and vddci to mclk, right?
Also, how are a new freq and a new voltage applied to the card? Are they applied simultanously or sequentially? In the second case, we must be sure to raise voltage before frequency when pushing the performances up, while we should low the frequency before lowering the voltage when we are slowing down.

Not exactly. Mclk is tied to vddci (memory interface voltage), but both mclk and sclk (and the core display clock) are tied to vddc (core voltage).

In the second case, we must be sure to raise voltage before frequency when pushing the performances up, while we should low the frequency before lowering the voltage when we are slowing down.
The actual adjustments are done by a microcontroller on the GPU. You pass a set of structures defining the performance levels within the power state to the microcontroller and the microcontroller handles the switching. It takes into account all of the ordering and chip state dependencies.

I was asking, just in case there was a manual control over the process and I would have been in a situation where the card was too near of its limits.
I changed a little something in the code yesterday and I was lucky enough to not have any hangs. I just want to be sure it is because of this little change I've made and not some obscure planets alignment. I'll test it further today and I'll let you know.

Well, it was only luck it seems... I'll send a patch though, since it simplifies a couple of lines.
I'll have to continue digging.

This doesn't solve the problem, but it simplifies a bit the low state adjustment. Please, review and commit if good.

--- Comment #15 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Still there with 3.12.0-rc6. If I just force the mclk to 125000 and vddci to 1150, I'm running fine. I don't know where to look at anymore. Any other suggestions?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723
--- Comment #16 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- By the way, even if setting mclk and vddci at fixed values, it eventually freezes. It takes longer though. It will happen when scrolling a window or focusing on a new one. Problem is, I can't seem to get any message when it happens.
The more I look at it, the more I think it is freezing somewhere that has nothing to do with the mclk or vddci values. It could be a race condition or we could be trying to use something that was already released. A register or an uninitialized variable maybe. What do you think?

--- Comment #17 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Here is the last thing I have before freezing and just after I rebooted (from journal with systemd, no more dmesg). As you'll see, there is nothing there. I'll look into other logs just in case.

The problem is the driver is not really involved except for the initial programming of the states. The GPU does the reclocking internally once it's enabled. Best bet would be to adjust the values programmed into the state that's loaded into the SMC to see if you can narrow down what aspects are problematic.

Well, maybe the first thing would be to identify when or what sequence leads to the hang. That's why I was suggesting to trace it. But if I understand you correctly, you are saying the GPU is programmed once and then we just move from state to another, right?
I'm not sure, but I think I've read somewhere it was possible to set a power state manually, to force dpm to a given state in other words. Am I right?

A power state consists of several performance levels (generally 3 on cayman; low, medium, and high). The driver loads a power state and then the GPU dynamically changes between the performance levels within that state based on GPU load. You can force the GPU to always stay in the low or high state via sysfs. See: http://www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=57 for more info. That basically tells the GPU to stay in that performance level and to not dynamically transition between performance levels.

Thanks, I knew I had read it somewhere. You are confirming what I had understood of the performance levels in a given state.
However, I'm thinking we are not looking at the right spot... I've been testing power states and performance levels, running Youtube videos (which hitting in the general GPU part, not UVD), playing videos with VLC (VDPAU enabled, which was using UVD) and doing both at once. Everything was rock solid. Their must be something else that has nothing to do with the power states. All performance levels and transitions from one to another worked fine.
Is there something to your knowledge that could have more chance of hanging when switching performance levels that would be less vulnerable with a fixed mclk and vddci?

--- Comment #26 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Alex, in drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/ni_dpm.c, when we are limiting the sclk and mclk to the max speed according to vddc and vddci, aren't we screwing possibly something with mclk? I mean, could we be setting a mclk value that is wrong? We have two conditions where we can max mclk value, but we are not looking at the lowest one. I think it should be something like this instead to be sure we are using the most restrictive value: /* Select the lowest mclk value according to the most restrictive between vddc and vddci*/ if (max_mclk_vddc || max_mclk_vddci) { max_mclk_vddcx = (max_mclk_vddc > max_mclk_vddci) ? max_mclk_vddci : max_mclk_vddc; }
for (i = 0; i < ps->performance_level_count; i++) { if (max_sclk_vddc) { if (ps->performance_levels[i].sclk > max_sclk_vddc) ps->performance_levels[i].sclk = max_sclk_vddc; } if (max_mclk_vddcx) { if (ps->performance_levels[i].mclk > max_mclk_vddcx) ps->performance_levels[i].mclk = max_mclk_vddcx; } }
I'm also quoting you: "Not exactly. Mclk is tied to vddci (memory interface voltage), but both mclk and sclk (and the core display clock) are tied to vddc (core voltage)." Which means, mclk shouldn't run at its max speed if vddc is not at its max value, isn't it? Otherwise, we may encounter stability problem.

I'm also quoting you: "Not exactly. Mclk is tied to vddci (memory interface voltage), but both mclk and sclk (and the core display clock) are tied to vddc (core voltage)." Which means, mclk shouldn't run at its max speed if vddc is not at its max value, isn't it? Otherwise, we may encounter stability problem.
Forget this, I'm getting tired and I didn't realized that we were already making sure we were maxing the value if it was smaller.

--- Comment #28 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Alex, as I quoted you earlier, mclk depends on both vddc and vddci. How can we know mclk at 125000 is stable when vddc is 1000 and vddci 1150 (here, vddc is not at its max of 1050)?

As I mentioned in bug 68235, with 69e0b57a91adca2e3eb56ed4db39ab90f3ae1043 the driver did not enable dynamic performance level adjustments since it caused hangs. With that commit the GPU always stays in the lowest performance level which is why it's stable. The hangs were fixed by 4da18e26e0cc2387597ff57ac33df1bc6369fbed, 7a80c2c9a957b1ab056fac235140ebd6c43d9831, and 779187f2c3e69b8c06488538e0fd9fd02163359e and dynamic performance levels were enabled in commit 7ad8d0687bb5030c3328bc7229a3183ce179ab25.

Yes, I know. I just needed to start with something "solid". If running at the lowest performances is stable, it gives me a reference. I had time to test another commit in the branch, but since I'm not at home, I can't say if all the commits you had identified are in. I'll probably continue tonight.

This could be interesting: I've been bisecting. The first usable kernel on Cayman with dpm was between 3.11-rc1 and 3.11-rc2. Before that, the system was unusable (major corruption). So, with patches from related bug, I was able to start a session and run applications until it hanged.
On Nov 15 00:19:51, I was booting with a safe kernel (before dpm was enabled, a144acb).
On Nov 15 00:36:23, I booted with the kernel exhibiting a desired behavior. Logged, ran tasks, hanged on Nov 15 00:41:03. Segfault in libLLVM-3.3.so and possible recursive locking detected, followed by DEADLOCK.
However, I was unable to get the same result in the following boot.
Then switch to 3.12-rc7 to send journal.

--- Comment #33 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- I made an observation: the hang will happen sooner when I play a movie. However, playing a video is not needed to hang the system, it just happens quicker. It happens only usual tasks (usually when switching of window or when scrolling in a window). I know to have tracked it that the performance level changes a lot when a video is being played depending of what else is going on. So, I tried something: I forced performance level to "high". By doing so, I had no crash (daily tasks, launched a quick piglit run, started TF2). I then force performance level to "low" and then I did pretty much the same thing without any problem.
So it seems the problem is not with a performance level per-se, at least not with low and high. I would have to test with medium.
It could also be interesting to test UVD performance levels, which I doubt is the problem since I can play videos and hangs happen even when UVD is not being used or no videos are being played.
We could look at other things also. Maybe it is triggered after switching performance levels soo many times or when doing some combination. Could we be switching too often or too fast for the card?
Many questions to investigate.

On most cards there are only performance states. Selecting balanced also selects performance. You are probably using the same state in both cases.

When you select performance, battery, or balanced state on your system, power state 1 is used. When you activate UVD, the driver selects power state 2. When UVD is not in use, the previously active power state (1 in this case) is selected again. The driver only selects the power state. The power levels (0-2) within the power state are either selected automatically by the hw based on GPU load (auto) or forced to power level 0 or 2 (low or high) is you force the performance level. When you force the performance level to high, it will apply to all power states that you select (both power state 1 and 2) which is why you see the UVD state using 500 vs. 725 Mhz.
- So, first question: is it expected to see a lowered sclk when UVD is
active?
Yes since the driver selects a different power state (one tailored to the requirements of the UVD block for smooth video playback).
- Second one: when the performance is changed automatically (auto), could we
be triggering a performance state change too quickly?
The driver doesn't trigger performance level changes, the hw does. The driver just selects the overall power state.
- Third one: it was previously said mclk is tied to vddci AND vddc. Wouldn't
there be a chance we could encounter a problem here if vddc=1000 and not 1060 when running at full speed?
Sure. That's why we have the ni_apply_state_adjust_rules() to make sure the power state is valid based on the current requirements.
- Last one: is there a way to monitor the GPU temperature and/or the GPU fan
speed? (even at full speed when highly solicited, the fan is not running as fast as when dpm=0. I'm wondering if I'm not overheating from time to time).
You can see the temperature in sysfs. There should be a entry under /sys/class/hwmon/ for radeon.

The driver will currently limit the mclk to 125000 since that's the max level in the vddc/mclk dep table. You could try it. The driver will use 1060 when the sclk is 80000.

Well, it isn't that... I'll look at mclk again if I limit it a bit lower (120000 maybe). I ran a video on Youtube (no UVD) and it hangeg again. The only way I don't have this problem is by forcing the power level (sorry, I was calling it performance level earlier). Doing so is OK almost everytime while using the auto mode freezes the card.
I also had a look under Windows. I played the same video and I used GPU-Z to get a log. I'm attaching it right away to compare what I get under Linux VS Windows.

I used GPU-Z under Windows to monitor mclk, sclk, VDDC and temperature. Temperature was pretty much the same as the one I had under Linux.
However, power levels are different.
First, under Windows, anytime the memory goes above the default mclk speed (150MHz), VDDC is set to 1.063V even if the GPU is not running at full speed. Under Linux, VDDC is set to 1.060V only if both mclk and sclk are running at full speed. Otherwise, VDDC is kept at 1.000V. Why this difference?
Next, there is an intermediate power level where sclk runs at 500MHz and mclk runs at 650MHz with a VDDC at 1.063V. Even when running in 1080p, it never went above that speed. Under Linux, the intermediate power level (power level 1) uses a sclk at 500MHz (same) and mclk at 1300MHz (twice as fast, the same as the maximum power level 2) with only a VDDC of 1.000V.
There was no indication about the VDDCI.

In this new log, I pushed the video card a bit more. We can see there is an sclk 500MHz with a mclk of 650MHz (VDDC @ 1.063V), another intermediate power level using a sclk 500MHz with a mclk of 1300MHz (VDDC @ 1.063V) and finally a last power level using a sclk 830MHz with a mclk of 1300MHz (also using a VDDC @ 1.063V).
So, we are missing power level under Linux AND we are not using the same VDDC above the lowest power level. This fact could also explain why we had to limit sclk and mclk (800MHz and 1250MHz) on cards that are not using stock speed (overclocked cards, like mine) if we were not using a high enough VDDC, isn't it?

I'm not really familiar with how gpu-z reads back the clocks and voltages and that may have something to do with the differences. Not all of the aspects of the level transition happen at the same time.
You could try setting the vddc to 1060 and changing the mclk of level 1 (mid level) to 650Mhz. Perhaps the jump from 150 to 1300 is too big and the pll is not able to lock properly.

--- Comment #47 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Latest news: tried to force VDDC to 1100 (some 6950 cards are using 1.1V instead of 1.06V, mostly factory overclocked ones), tried to force VDDCI to 1150 for all power levels (crashed even quicker), tried to force VDDCI to 1100 for high power level just in case (hanged as usual after mostly the same delay).
So I turned my attention on mclk and downclocked it to 120000 (instead of 125000). Until now, the auto power level runs fine. I'll tweak it until I can find out at which value it begins to hang... and why it hangs mostly on auto power level and almost never on high or low (even at high, which is mostly as if dpm was disabled)... and never under Windows.

'The display went black a couple of time' sounds like GPU resets after lockups, which are unlikely to be directly related to segfaulting piglit tests FWIW.

Maybe, but I have no other indication. Also, I'm pretty that, when in auto power level, when I run my piglit tests, it locks at there.
Another thing I noticed: if I run the quick piglit tests at a low power level, the total number of passed tests is higher than when I run it at an higher speed. The failing tests explaining this difference are mostly texelFetch related. I'll send the piglit results from both runs once I'll have set back mclk to its default value.

The display went black a couple of time and according to dmesg/journal, it was related to texelFetch segfaulting in llvm [...]
'The display went black a couple of time' sounds like GPU resets after lockups, which are unlikely to be directly related to segfaulting piglit tests FWIW.
Maybe, but I have no other indication. Also, I'm pretty that, when in auto power level, when I run my piglit tests, it locks at there.
Another thing I noticed: if I run the quick piglit tests at a low power level, the total number of passed tests is higher than when I run it at an higher speed. The failing tests explaining this difference are mostly texelFetch related. I'll send the piglit results from both runs once I'll have set back mclk to its default value.
Oops, "... I'm pretty that..." -> "... I'm pretty sure that..."

--- Comment #52 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- I disabled R600_LLVM and ran another piglit at high power level. It crashed anyway. But I got a different message in my journal:

--- Comment #54 from Martin Andersson g02maran@gmail.com --- I have a 6950 and I'm seeing the exact same things as Alexandre, random hangs that completely lockup the machine. Can't ssh into it and nothing is printed to the logs, the only thing that works is a power cycle. If I disable dpm the machine is stable.
I have run with dpm since 3.11 and I have had the occasional lockup, maybe one every two weeks. But I started playing some more games recently and noticed that the lockups became much more frequent. So I decided to investigate.
The method I use to trigger a lockup is to run GpuTest in loop, with a 10 seconds sleep after each run. I do this to trigger power level switches. The arguments to GpuTest is /test=plot3d /benchmark /benchmark_duration_ms=10000 /no_scorebox. At the same time I run piglit quick.tests in a loop, I later found out that the piglit tests are not essential to get lockups but I kept doing them for consistency. 20 of these tests have resulted in a lockup, of these the longest running one lasted 80 minutes and shortest 3 minutes with an average of 23 minutes. The tests that didn't cause lockups either had dpm completely disabled or only certain features, which features are described below. If I run GpuTest constantly, without the sleep and longer benchmark duration, I don't get any lockups (I have done several long runs, with longest being over six hours).
I also tried to find a good commit. I started with 7ad8d0687bb5030c3328bc7229a3183ce179ab25 (drm/radeon/dpm: re-enable state transitions for Cayman) + the gcc fixes, but I get lockups on that commit as well. I checked out 3.13-rc2 and started disabling features in ni_dpm_init. I disabled the following things without any improvement. I reenabled each feature after I had tested it and cold booted the machine.
eg_pi->smu_uvd_hs pi->mvdd_control eg_pi->vddci_control pi->gfx_clock_gating pi->mg_clock_gating pi->mgcgtssm pi->dynamic_pcie_gen2 pi->thermal_protection pi->display_gap pi->dcodt pi->ulps eg_pi->abm eg_pi->mcls eg_pi->light_sleep eg_pi->memory_transition ni_pi->cac_weights->enable_power_containment_by_default ni_pi->use_power_boost_limit pi->sclk_ss
eg_pi->pcie_performance_request, was already false so I didn't test it.
I noticed that pi->mvdd_control wasn't set, is that normal?
I don't get any lockups with pi->voltage_control disabled, but I also don't get any power level switches.
If I set eg_pi->dynamic_ac_timing to false my machine lockups somewhere in the boot process, I haven't looked into that any deeper.
However if I set pi->dynamic_ss to false the lockups disappear, it also works with dynamic_ss set to true and pi->mclk_ss set to false.
So it seems, at least for me, it has something to do with mclk together with power level switches. I'm not sure what to test next, but one thing might be to try to remove the performance power level 2, so that it could only switch between 0 and 1. But I haven't figured out how to accomplish that yet.

About the performance level switch, you could either force level 2 to use the same values as level 1 OR you could catch when the performance level and force it to 1.

However if I set pi->dynamic_ss to false the lockups disappear, it also works with dynamic_ss set to true and pi->mclk_ss set to false.
So this seems to point to a spread spectrum mischief. I don't know if dynamic_ss automatically applies to mclk but it seems to, since disabling spread spectrum only for mclk solves your problem. We could suspect that at a given frequency, we have a problem restoring the original message / clock (the higher we get, the harder it is) until at some point it becomes unreliable.
I should be able to test it later tonight to confirm if this fixes the bug on my side too.

--- Comment #58 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Disabling dynamic_ss seems also to do the trick over here.

--- Comment #59 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- This morning, I tested a bit the kernel after disabling only mclk_ss and it seems to work correctly when it is disabled. Martin may have put his finger where the problem is.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723
--- Comment #60 from Martin Andersson g02maran@gmail.com --- Instead of triggering the power level switches by running GpuTest in bursts, I put this in a bash script:
for i in {1..3600} do echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level sleep 1 echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level sleep 5 done
and just let GpuTest, and piglit, run continously. I found that this also trigger the lockups within minutes.
Then I ran the script by itself, no GpuTest or piglit, and left it running while I was at work. When I came home the machine was still running, so it ran for six hours without any lockup. So it seems the power level switching alone is not sufficient to trigger the lockups, it also needs a load of some sort.

for i in {1..3600} do echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level sleep 1 echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level sleep 5 done
and just let GpuTest, and piglit, run continously. I found that this also trigger the lockups within minutes.
Then I ran the script by itself, no GpuTest or piglit, and left it running while I was at work. When I came home the machine was still running, so it ran for six hours without any lockup. So it seems the power level switching alone is not sufficient to trigger the lockups, it also needs a load of some sort.
Do you mean while spread spectrum is still enabled?

Thanks for tracking this down. The attached patch should fix the issue. With this fixed, it may be worth checking to see if you can reliably use the tweaked clocks on certain oem boards (basically disable the ni code added to fix bug 69723).

I reverted patches from bug 68235 as suggested, applied the proposed patch to disable mclk spread spectrum and I'm now running this new kernel. First observation: without patches from bug 68235 prior to disabling mclk ss, I was unable to load a session without it hanging in less thant a minute. It's now rock solid running GPU clock at 830MHz and memory clock at 1300MHz. I'll run a couple of other tests, but I think we got it!

Sadly, I pushed the card a bit harder with Serious Sam 3 and it hanged again. So I'll try two different things: - keep spread spectrum disabled only for mclk but reapplying both patches from bug 68235; - disable all spread spectrum without reapplying the other two patches.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723
--- Comment #68 from Martin Andersson g02maran@gmail.com --- It seems I also spoke to soon, because I tried again with mclk disabled but this time with the test method where I forced the low and high power levels by using /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level and this time I got a lockup.
So either it was just chance that I didn't hit the lockup with mclk disabled the first time and/or my second test method have a higher chance of triggering the lockup.
I'm currently running a test with dynamic_ss disabled.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723
--- Comment #69 from Martin Andersson g02maran@gmail.com --- I have now completed a 12+ hour long test run with dynamic_ss disabled (mclk_ss was also disable) without any problem. So it seems that disabling mclk_ss makes it a little more stable, but disabling dynamic_ss makes it much more stable. I have not had any lockups with dynamic_ss disabled, but I haven't tested it that much. Only this long session and one 6+ hour long session before that.
The next thing I'm gonna test is dynamic_ss disabled and the patches from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68235 reverted.

--- Comment #74 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- On my side, disabling spread spectrum but keeping the patches limiting the gpu and mem clocks to reference board ones seems to be OK. I've been running phoronix-test-suite tests for the last day without problem. Still, while it seems stable, it may not correct everything, only time will tell.
I'll have to test again with patches from bug 68235 reverted because I suspect I had selected the wrong kernel when I last posted my results about it.

Since my last cold boot, I tried with unlimited clocks (reverted previous patches) with hangs almost at start. I tried again with stock 3.13-rc3 with spread spectrum disabled, and I also hit hangs when testing (without having to push the video card with heavy tests). So, for me, disabling spread spectrum may sometimes help, but it is not a real solution to this bug.

I had already done it and from what I could see until now, it doesn't change anything if it is a cold or a hot boot. Just in case, after your comment, I did it again and it still ended hung (3.13-rc3 with all spread spectrum disabled). It happened before that my system would not hang for some reason once in many boots, maybe that's what happened.

I'm running 3.13-rc7 and it has been stable for me so far, but I have only played FTL, since I got bored with serious sam 3.

--- Comment #94 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- And funny enough on my side, I cold booted with this option last night and was able to play all the time, go online and run some movies without any problem.
However, I must specify some modifications I did recently: Updated LLVM to 3.4 (this prevents some application crashes I was experiencing) Switched to GLAMOR (fixed a rendering issue I had when not using it with applications using LLVM 3.4)
However, I've been lucky before from time to time where I had no crashes, so it might just be that. But I suspect cold booting and hot booting may be part of the problem with the hyperz disabled. More test to come tonight.

It may some sort of synchronization issue between the EXA acceleration code in ddx and the 3D acceleration code in mesa. When you use glamor, all acceleration uses the code in mesa.

But setting the option to glamor isn't so good for me because there were display artifacts in some cases. For example I would open vinagre and the header bar (where there is Remote / View / ... menus and the Connect / Disconnect / ... buttons) wouldn't be drawn, I would see the content of what was there on the screen before I open that window instead. Same with gnome-control-center.
I just noticed a package update in my distrib today: glamor-egl-0.5.1.r258-1-x86_64

On a different topic, I hit a GPU hang/reset situation this week with a 3.13.6 kernel while dpm was enabled, which is... extremely rare.

--- Comment #111 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- To update a bit this bug: it is still experienced with kernel 3.15-rc1.
Also, something being displayed must be called to change (scrolling a window, clicking a link, opening a new window, visualizing a video, the display going in standby). It will not freeze if there is no modification to the display.
I'm convinced that spread spectrum is not linked to the bug. It just helps stabilize things, but it is not the root cause of the problem.
By any chance, do you know what was modified in the new ucodes for Bonaire and above?
It should be noted there seems to be no correlation between the power level and the occurence of the bug. What I mean is, as long as DPM is enabled, it can happen at the lowest power level at any time; the same goes when the power level is at its highest. While I don't hear the profile change (by that I mean the fan usually spins faster|lower when it does), I'm pretty sure it has to do with the memory controller and I'm thinking more and more it comes from the ucode. It could be because the memory controller doesn't wait to have completed its changes to a new state before changing it again? It would explain why even when doing light work, it can happen (a very short raise in power level and going back to the previous state wouldn't be heard, the fan wouldn't have the time to accelerate).

--- Comment #112 from Alex Deucher agd5f@yahoo.com --- Created attachment 102082 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=102082&action=edit possible fix
Does this patch fix the issues?

--- Comment #113 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Thanks Alex, I had seen this patch yesterday and I added it to my things to be testes. I'll test it as soon as possible, but I still need to fix my kernel build setup. I had to reinstall all my system a couple of weeks ago. I should be able to test it in the next couple of days.

--- Comment #114 from Marc marc@ttux.net --- I am trying the patch on kernel 3.15.0 (I modified line 1318). I'll give a feedback in 24h.

--- Comment #115 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Testing as of now with some games and videos. Temperature is around 79 Celcius, power level changing as expected.
If everything works as we want, maybe we'll be able to look at bug 69721 (to reach full speed capacity for cards not sticking to reference board)

--- Comment #116 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Up until now, no problem encountered. The problem fixed by the patch would also points in the same direction as some of my previous tests and supposions were heading. I think this might really be our culprit.
Which means we should also be in a position to reenable Spread Spectrum if everything continues to run smoothly.
I'll give you some updates tomorrow.

--- Comment #117 from Marc marc@ttux.net --- Same here, no freeze with this patch for 24h so it looks this bug might be fixed. I'll confirm again at the end of the day.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723
--- Comment #118 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Well, everything seems to still be fine. Suspended, woken up, ran some games (L4D2, FEZ, The Witcher 2, SS3), navigated on the web, watched some movies and still running.

--- Comment #119 from Martin Andersson g02maran@gmail.com --- I have been running 3.15 + plus the latest patch for a couple of days now. So far not a single lockup.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69723
--- Comment #120 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- Alex, I think we can close this bug as soon as the "drm/radeon/dpm: fix vddci setup typo on cayman" patch lands in the kernel tree: I had no problem for the last couple of days since I applied the patch. The same goes for Martin.
Any chance of seeing it included in kernel 3.16 (against which I'm testing the patch)?

--- Comment #121 from Alexandre Demers alexandre.f.demers@gmail.com --- I just saw the latest RC kernel and the patch was included. Thanks!

I just got 1 lockup. The 1st in 10 days.
Do you have exactly the same symptoms as before? On my side, everything is still fine. The only problem I've encountered is related to X.
I've been running and testing everything with kernel 3.16 which has some other fixes related to Cayman, so maybe you encountered a different issue than the one from the current bug.
