Hi all, I've been receiving reports that newer sparc64 kernels have started to panic on boot under qemu-system-sparc64 with bochs_drm enabled which I was able to confirm locally building git master: [ 9.007161] [drm] Found bochs VGA, ID 0xb0c5.

In some ways this is similar to the bug I reported a couple of years back at https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-June/145793.html which was fixed with https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-July/145935.html. According to git bisect the regression is introduced by the following commit: $ git bisect bad 7a0483ac4ffca4998945c159b28afdde8353cc84 is the first bad commit commit 7a0483ac4ffca4998945c159b28afdde8353cc84 Author: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 11 06:37:50 2019 +0100 drm/bochs: switch to generic drm fbdev emulation Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190111053752.4004-15-kraxel@xxxxxxxxxx :040000 040000 1917943277034f620af03ac1a2fa5db48b7b224c 6d7a3c316a68efbffd398d6c2b7eebefb47bc92d M drivers The commit following this one at https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/276488/?series=54269&rev=4 removes bochsfb_ops and the cfb helpers which was the original fix introduced by my second patch above, so I'm unsure how to approach fixing this with the switch to drm_fbdev_generic_setup(). Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks, Mark. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
