            Bug ID: 111371
           Summary: [NV04] bios OOB on kernel driver initialization
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

The non-verbose kernel log

Steps to reproduce:
Boot linux with NV04 card in motherboard AGP slot.
OR
'modprobe nouveau' with NV04 card in motherboard AGP slot.

Actual Results:
2 times during the boot process the screen turns black, only to return back to
the character display. The nouveau module ends up loaded, but the screen
appears to not be using the drm driver.

Platform:
Alpine Linux 3.10.1 Standard, kernel 4.19.58 (non-verbose log)
Tiny Core Linux, kernel 4.19.10 (verbose external module log)

I tried using the kernel parameter nouveau.config=NvMSI=0, but it made no
difference. I also tried using nouveau.config=NvBios=PRAMIN, even though there
were no "checksum invalid" errors in the dmesg output.

I was unable to get a VBIOS dump, as the /sys/kernel/debug/dri folder was
empty.

I was also hesitant to do a git bisection, as compiling the nouveau kernel
module takes upwards of 7 hours on the machine I am using. However, I can try
if you would like.

I have two kernel logs, one is from kernel 4.19.58 and has nouveau compiled as
an in-tree module. The other log is for kernel 4.19.10 and has nouveau compiled
as an out-of-tree module, but I was able to add the kernel parameters
drm.debug=14 and log_buf_len=16M.

I apologize if I left any information out, and thank you for any reply.

Sounds like there's something weird going on:

[    1.862577] pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 6: no space for [mem size 0x00010000 pref]
[    1.862592] pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 6: failed to assign [mem size 0x00010000
pref]

So ... question 1: did this ever work, with any kernel?

I'll be honest - I've never actually tried a NV4 (no AGP motherboard here).
Last I tried a NV5 (PCI version), it worked fine. This was some time ago, and I
can re-check if necessary. However:

[  103.927615] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: pci: failed to acquire agp

is definitely worrying. From the kernel messages, it would appear that the
agpgart support module is loading *after* nouveau. This is not good. Try
compiling nouveau as a module, and ensuring that it loads after the agpgart
module.

Of course, I don't know that this is highly related to the issue at hand -- AGP
is for the GPU accessing system memory, which is not necessary to retrieve the
VBIOS data.

Please try booting the 4.x kernel with

nouveau.debug=bios=debug

which might yield more info. Please don't use NvBios=PRAMIN when doing this,
and include the full boot log.

You can also use nvagetbios from envytools to fetch using certain methods
(definitely the ones applicable to your hw).

These are the only two kernels I have tried with this card, and it has never
worked on my machine. I was able to get a graphical display with the xorg vesa
driver, though.

I also tried reloading the kernel module after agpgart loading using "rmmod
nouveau" and then "modprobe nouveau" after boot, but it made no difference.

I will attach a dmesg log with nouveau.config=bios=debug for the kernel with
nouveau compiled as an out-of-tree-module. It seems (to my limited knowledge)
to have interesting information.

Could you try retrieving the image using nvagetbios and uploading it? I'm
curious what's in it, perhaps our "is this a valid image" logic needs fixing.
Or perhaps it's bogus data -- not 100% surprising for a NV4. We definitely do
have some examples of NV4 vbios's though, and in the past people have
successfully booted NV4 boards with nouveau (and filed bugs about things much
later having issues, like the ddx or GL accel - you can search for them).

Sorry about the long wait time, compile takes a while on my machine.

When I try to use nvagetbios without arguments, it gives me this message:

No extraction method specified (using -s extraction_method). Autodetecting.
Attempt to extract the vbios from card 0 (nv04) using PRAMIN.
Invalid checksum. Broken vbios or broken retrieval method?
Attempt to extract the vbios from card 0 (nv04) using PROM.
Invalid checksum. Broken vbios or broken retrieval method?
Autodetection failed, aborting.

Therefore I did two runs, one which specified -s prom, the other which
specified -s pramin.

However, on both of these runs, it gave the message:

Attempt to extract the vbios from card 0 (nv04) using <PROM/PRAMIN>.
Invalid checksum. Broken vbios or broken retrieval method?
0xff


Thank you for spending you time in dealing with this issue.

(In reply to Jorge Natz from comment #6)
> When I try to use nvagetbios without arguments, it gives me this message:

Congratulations on having such an old card. Esp one that still works, and a
motherboard you can plug it into. From the PRAMIN data, we can see that it's

16MB Diamond Viper TNT AGP Video Card

(which you probably knew already). So nvbios is (mostly) OK with this:

~/src/envytools/nvbios/nvbios pramin.bios 
warning: No strap specified
BIOS size 0x8000 [orig: 0x10000], 1 valid parts:

BIOS part 0 at 0x0 size 0x8000 [init: 0x8800]. Sig:
PCIR [rev 0x00]:
PCI device: 0x10de:0x0020, class 0x030000
Code type 0x00, rev 0x0001
PCIR indicator: 0x80

BIOS type: NV04

Subsystem id: 0x1092:0x5802

BMP 0x00.01 at 0x2df2

Bios version 0x30.2e.8e.7e

(note the straps thing is unrelated to this).

No tables at all decoded by nvbios though. I think that was semi-common though
in those days. And the PCIR signature really is at 0x3b6f.

It's weird since the bytes "PCIR" are definitely there in the dumps at 0x3b6f,
however the driver clearly sees a 0 instead of 0x52494350. Oh, that's because
it thinks they're out-of-bounds... which in turn looks like it's because we
only pre-fetch the first 4K. To make this work, we'd have to fetch the first
16K. Annoying.

OK, so a super-quick workaround is to change

drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadow.c:shadow_image

                if (!shadow_fetch(bios, mthd, offset + 0x1000)) {

to

                if (!shadow_fetch(bios, mthd, offset + 0x4000)) {

This isn't generally OK - I don't know that all VBIOS's are even that large,
but it's OK for these methods.

Ben - what do you think an appropriate workaround is for something like this?

Actually, please ask if you would like another VBIOS dump. Sorry about that.

With the workaround-compiled module, the screen turns black, then a series of
messages appear on the console, seeming to be the lines in dmesg that start
with "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000004" and
end with "CR0: 80050033 CR2: 00000004 CR3: 03304000 CR4: 000006d0". The screen
then turns black again when X is started and does not revert back to console,
although this may just be an incorrect X configuration on my part.

Well that looks much happier. vbios loads fine now.

I wonder if without a DCB table, whether we generate the VGA connector anyways
(since I think all NV4's always had VGA - maybe there was some variant with
composite/s-video, but we probably don't support that anyways). I seem to
recall code existing where we would auto-generate a connector for that case,
but ... I don't remember. Might have been ppc-only.

Next, I'll have to investigate those illegal method errors. Perhaps we're doing
something NV5-specific, or the logic has bitrotted. Used to work.

And finally, that null deref, we'll need symbols, otherwise it's hopeless to
figure out what happened.

Additionally a log with drm.debug=0x1e would be helpful (with the bios fix) --
I really don't see the code that adds the connectors in when there is no DCB.
So either I'm blind (popular option), or that got dropped at some point.

I was not able to get the symbols for the kernel that null derefed, but I
compiled the module against a newer kernel version and it worked well,
notwithstanding errors in the kernel log. I even got an X session to work with
exa acceleration on the nouveau DDX driver. I will attached a dmesg of the
newer kernel, which does not show a null deref.

Thank you for your help, and I hope I have provided sufficient information to
investigate further.

OK great! Looks like we do add the VGA connector somehow ... no clue how given
that there's no DCB, but hey - don't mess with success.

I will investigate whether ILLEGAL_MTHD errors are something to worry about. I
know some are expected and harmless (if annoying), but not sure about the first
clump.

You should have GL 1.2 with nouveau_vieux_dri.so on this too... no HW T&L on
this hardware though, only rast. And not extremely conformant (no 3d textures,
no clip planes, probably other failings).

So ... question is what to do about the bios load issue. Ben, opinions welcome.

Given that I know nearly nothing about DRM/VBIOS internals, I am most likely
completely wrong, but would the function fabricate_dcb_encoder_table in
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bios.c be what you were mentioning earlier?

Yes, that's exactly it. Of course, it's in our OTHER bios parser, not the one
in nvkm. Because you can't have too much of a good thing.
