I don't think the change was writing GPU recovery as much as figuring out what was hanging the GPU (ring timeout means something locked up in the GPU)...

[bridgman]

Not my area of expertise, but AFAIK the issue with compositors is not so much "won't work with compositors" as "games running through the...

[bridgman]

Just FYI that wasn't BIOS firmware, it was MEC microcode (what marketing calls ACE)....

[bridgman]

Not talking about unreleased products is an important part of my job ...

[bridgman]

As the old saying goes... "I can neither confirm nor deny". Sorry....

[bridgman]

In fairness, "just a few" in this case is 27 years (1991-2018)....

[bridgman]

If you are trying to mix APU and dGPU then your best bet is probably the packaged AMDGPU/PRO driver, installed without the -PRO option but with OpenCL....

[bridgman]

With respect, the debate is not about whether Linus is making insulting comments to individual new developers - if that has ever happened (I don't remember...

[bridgman]

If you have time, please go back and read my comment again, and consider whether you owe me an apology. Both of the scenarios and responses I suggested...

[bridgman]

It's probably easier to say "Nicolai" than "everyone but Marek"

Nicolai is mostly working on getting the drivers ready...

[bridgman]

Yeah, that was my first thought as well.

Seriously, I hope this isn't just the PC movement catching Linus at a vulnerable time and forcing...

IIRC Tonga and Iceland were both designed and locked down before we wrote the first HSA stack to exercise the HW with. I believe there were some HW issues...

[bridgman]

Are you just talking about the fact that the source code has not been built and packaged for Arch yet (a day after release) or a larger issue ?
...

[bridgman]

I forget the details, but it's a power-saving feature for cases where display is active but nothing else is going on. Periodic long burst reads from memory...

[bridgman]

A lot of the lines are from register headers for new GPUs.

Last time I looked the kernel driver was about 250K lines of code and 1,250K lines...

[bridgman]

Correct - do not install rock-dkms but do perform the udev step. Do not move back to an older kernel... newer is generally better in this case.
...

[bridgman]

Those are not two separate statements. The lack of supply and lack of availability at MSRP was a direct consequence of the mining craze.

...

[bridgman]

I don't know if the userspace patches are considered to be upstream-ready (ie sufficiently cross-vendor) or just intended for exercising the kernel patches....

eXternal (off-package) GMI...

We renamed it to ROC runtime for consistency, but it's pretty much the same code and even the readme still calls it HSA Runtime:
