Hi,
I'm a little late here, but I'm not able to reproduce the issue yet.
I have this setup:
- gcc 11.3.0
- binutils 2.38.50
- mainline kernel (torvalds) version: 5.19.0-rc6 (cross-compiling)
-> make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-linux-gnu- allmodconfig
=> DRM_AMD_DC [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM [=m] && DRM_AMDGPU [=m] && (X86 || PPC64 [=y]) && (!KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL [=n] || !KCOV_ENABLE_COMPARISONS [=n])
-> make -j16 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-linux-gnu-
Am I missing something?
So, as Alex mentioned the possibility of some non-isolated FPU code in
3.1, I reviewed dcn31 code and my best bet so far is that the issue
is here:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dcn31/dcn31_resource.c#L1721
Although dcn31_update_soc_for_wm_a() is only called inside
dml/dcn31/dcn31_fpu:
- dc->res_pool->funcs->update_soc_for_wm_a(dc, context);
it's declared in dcn31_resource and has FPU code. So, we should move it
to dml/dcn31/dcn31_fpu.
However, as I can't reproduce the issue, I don't know if it addresses
the problem reported here and also if everything will be clean after
moving it.
Guenter,
Can you provide more info about your setup: cross-compile or not, any
flags, branch, etc?
Best Regards,
Melissa
