Who else I should subscribe this bug to, so that it was noticed by kernel
developers?

I'm now manually transcribing those screenshots:

Kernel 2.6.34-rc5 is also affected.

It's kind of stupid to report (no i915 patches have been merged after rc5), but
kernel 2.6.34-rc6 is also affected.

I can post the entire backtrace in a text form if anyone's interested.

I have an idea of what's going on + an idea of how to prove it ;)

Can you please boot your box with the crashing bios options, but don't load
the i915 module (delete it if nothing else helps). Manually load the
intel-agp module and post the dmesg output here (the messages by the
intel-agp module are the important stuff). Thanks.

I hate to be annoying but this time I have to be, because I don't like the idea
of not being able to use all the system memory Intel HD Graphics can
potentially claim and use.

Besides, the next stable kernel is closing in and it will be the second stable
Linux release I won't be able to use without crippling my hardware.

I ain't a Linux kernel expert but these messages seem bogus to me:

> [drm:i915_driver_load] *ERROR* Detected broken video BIOS with 262140/262144kB of video memory stolen.
> [drm:i915_driver_load] *ERROR* Disabling GEM. (try reducing stolen memory or updating the BIOS to fix).

My BIOS is certainly not broken and all future Intel on-die GPUs may use up to
1.7GB(1) of the system RAM.

References:

1. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-clarkdale-core-i5-661,2514-4.html

Intel makes up to 1.7GB of system memory available to graphics, as with its
previous-generation integrated graphics core, but there’s really no reason to
dedicate that much RAM in light of the GPU’s performance characteristics.

--- Comment #8 from Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch>  2010-05-08 13:10:24 ---
Well, these bios settings _are_ broken. They essentially steel 256MB of system
memory for the intel igd, which has two effects:

- Your usable system memory decreased by 256 (linux can't use this memory).
- You've reduced the memory available to the igd to zero (which then caused the
kernel oops later on).

So please change the bios settings to something sensible (32MB of so called
stolen space is enough) - linux will allocate anything it needs dynamically
anyway. This stolen space is only used to support certain special hw features
that absolutely require it.

I can't close this as "not a bug" due to not having sufficient bz permissions.
Can somebody else please take care of that?

--- Comment #9 from Artem S. Tashkinov <t.artem@mailcity.com>  2010-05-08 13:40:16 ---
OK, the *default* BIOS settings for H55/H57 chipset on all ASRock motherboards
(and probably other vendors too) are:

Share memory:          Auto
DVMT/FIXED Memory:     Maximum DVMT

These are "broken" settings as you say, so, people should refrain from using
Linux and should only use Windows because Microsoft OS works beautifully with
this setup and all 3D intensive applications run much smoother and faster.

P.S. Available values for these two options are:

Share Memory:          Auto/32MB/64MB/128MB/256MB
DVMT/FIXED Memory:     128MB/256MB/Maximum DVMT

trim stolen space if needed

I was hoping this patch wouldn't be necessary, but your BIOS seems to indicate
that it is.  Can you give it a try and see if it helps your stolen memory
problem?

as this patch is committed to the mainline.

--- Comment #12 from Artem S. Tashkinov <t.artem@mailcity.com>  2010-05-09 08:49:43 ---
I've got a little question: with or without this patch approximately 384MB of
the system RAM is missing, can anyone shed light where this fat piece of RAM
has gone? I do understand that some of the system RAM is claimed by the
embedded GPU but then again roughly 128MB is missing.

(4*1024*1024-3811104)/1024 ~ 374MB + kernel RAM ~ 384MB.

My patch is only a partial fix; it won't actually reclaim the stolen space
allocated by the BIOS, so it will appear to be missing.

Fail to load KMS without GEM.

The other half of this is to prevent the OOPS should we ever disable GEM but
still attempt to use KMS.

Chris, I need advise, should I apply this patch too, or this patch only, if I'm
running 2.6.34?

Jesse's is an attempt to workaround the misreported aperture and continue
working. My patch just makes sure that if we do fail, than we fail gracefully
and not OOPS - so there's no need to apply it if your machine boots.

2.6.35-rc3, i915 doesn't work (it loads but it doesn't allow me to run X

Chris, I would be very glad and grateful if I could use upcoming 2.6.35 without
patches, after all the bug has now been known for *four* months.

The don't crash patch is upstream. That is all we can expect for 2.6.35, as we
don't have a method yet for returning the range reserved by the BIOS to the
kernel.

Just sent out a new version of the stolen space trim patch.  Can you reply with
your tested-by so we can get it upstream?  If you want it in older kernels as
well you can request that it be cc'd to stable@kernel.org.  Not sure if Linus
will take it for 2.6.35 or not, but we should be able to get it into 2.6.34.x
and 2.6.35.x once it hits his tree.

Jesse, where can I find this new patch and how I can add myself as "tested-by"?
I'm not subscribed to LKML but I can if it's necessary.

I cc'd you on the patch, subject "[PATCH] drm/agp/i915: trim stolen space to
32M".  It also got sent to the intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list. 
Archives are available at lists.freedesktop.org.

If it works for you, just reply to the message with "Tested-by: ..." including
your name & email addr.

Thanks.

I decided not to add this paragraph to my e-mail, so I'm expressing myself
here:

---

It seems like the only difference from the older patch is 32 vs 16, so could
you please explain in laymen terms how this patch works and why did you change
16MB to 32MB.

---

My only grief right now is `free` output (I have 4GB of RAM):

Our newer chips run at higher resolution, so we need more space for the
compressed framebuffer.

Jesse, your patch hasn't be included into the mainline 2.6.35-rc5, I hope it
will be included before 2.6.35 gets released.

And like you asked I've sent my "Tested-by:" e-mail.

OK, let's wait until 2.6.36 comes out :(

Yeah sorry, Eric has been busy with other things, the patch should be applied
soon, then you can request that it be merged to the stable tree as well.
