amd-staging-4.6 for Fedora 24 (AMDGPU)

[bridgman]

Are you saying that amdgpu SI support is included and enabled by default in 4.7 stable kernels (assuming that's what you mean by 4.7.2 and 4.7.3) ? That seems... surprising. Or are these special builds for amdgpu SI testing ?

EDIT - or maybe (looking at the thread title) you're talking about our internal staging branch ? If so where is the 4.7.2 / 4.7.3 terminology coming from ? I didn't think we were rebasing our internal staging onto each stable update, and when I scrolled back through the commits I found myself at 4.7 rather than a stable update.

MORE EDIT - reading back a couple of pages I *think* you are talking about stable release trees built with amdgpu SI support enabled. I would not have expected the 4.7.x stable releases to have working amdgpu SI support... I guess anything is possible but I wasn't aware of anyone backporting SI support to stable... and I don't see any SI code in the 4.7.3 source tree at first glance...

FINAL EDIT - so... huh ?

Hahaha I see the confusion, sorry bout that.

So basically I'm taking the internal staging branch (on freedesktop.org, possibly a mirror? Seems to be owned by Alex Deucher) but I'm applying/back-porting all the newest patch sets from kernel.org (i.e. currently 4.7.3). This is just a copr repo, which is Fedora's equivalent to Ubuntu's PPA system, if you're familiar with that.

So yes, the internal branch is just based on 4.7.0 (there's another based on 4.6.0), but I personally use this on my desktop with my RX480 (for DAL and free-sync, etc), so I prefer to apply the newest bug-fixes + some fedora/Redhat patches + any bug-fixes I find along the way. Of course, I remove all the patches that would conflict with any of the changes made in the staging branch to avoid any "self induced" bugs.

I can't say if SI support actually landed in the staging branch in it's entirety, as I haven't looked into it, but I noticed the kconfig option landed in the staging git a few days ago. So I did a new snapshot and enabled it for shits and giggles
I'm just assuming that the SI support in staging is heavily incomplete, possibly because someone is in the progress of back-porting it from the 4.9 wip branch. As I said, I haven't been following it too closely, as my interested more pertain to Polaris fixes.

[bridgman]

Ahh, that makes more sense than any of my interpretations. Thanks !

Yes, the staging branches on agd5f's repo are mirrors of the internal development tree used for the amdgpu upstream kernel driver. I think Alex updates every week or so.

I suspect the auto-moderating software has been updated with new heuristics.

Now it just moderates all of my posts

I feel like it's absolutely arbitrary to be honest.

Hi Mystro256 ! I tried your Copr rep (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/co...6/polaris-gfx/) with my Fedora 24 (and my fresh RX 480) but I get a lot of conflicts including llvm 3.9. And if I try to force llvm 3.9, it conflicts with Steam, which is basically why I'd like to install your Copr rep in the first place

I actually maintain another repo just for this purpose:

http://copr-fe.cloud.fedoraproject.o...is-gfx-llvm38/

It's the exact same thing but it uses fedora's build of llvm 3.8 to avoid any conflicts (note that it only supports opengl 4.1, instead of 4.3).

Although, I would recommend using rpmfusion to install steam on fedora if you installed it some other way. Steam shouldn't conflict with llvm 3.9 if you install it via rpmfusion, unless you have the steam run-time disabled (it's enabled by default). It's possible something else is conflicting with it though.

Either way, use what works for you.

[Creak]

Yeah, it's for playing Alien: Isolation, that's why I'm trying to get llvm 3.9 :/

I'm trying to build llvm 3.9 right now, but it's not working out very well (CMake problems...)

Hi Mystro256,

Today I get these errors while updating my F24 system:
