Extract from journalctl show attempts to boot
I have recently started getting random GPU lockups.=20
I have the following GPU:
VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Madison
[Mobility Radeon HD 5650/5750 / 6530M/6550M]
I use the opensource driver on Wayland. Ithink the beginning of the random
lockups coincided with upgrade from Mesa 12 to 13 on Fedora 25 but I never
experienced any lock up on Fedora 24 with Wayland nor X.
It happens with X as well Wayland on Fedora 25.
It can happen at boot just when I get past the GDM log in screen or a coupl=
e of
minutes after. Generally if I get past the first 15 minutes of a session it=
is
stable.

Extract from journalctl showing Dec 24
I have added two files from journalctl. The one from December = 23 shows several attempts to boot. It takes several attempts to boot. The file from December 24 shows similar problems at boot but also lock up during active session at 13:55:32

Please fix this bloody bug. I have AMD Radeon 5670 graphic car= d. I have this bug on Ubuntu 16.10 x64 and i have it on Ubuntu 17.04 x64 development versi= on. Now any fresh Linux version is almost unusable for me.
Somebody who can reproduce this needs to bisect it.
@Michel D=C3=A4nzer, can you tell in details what i should= do to send you details report about this bug? I do everything, just tell. I so disappointed, i silently waited and though this bugs will be fixed very soon. And i first t= ime meet it in development version of Ubuntu 17.04 and i though it is because j= ust beta version.
Ok, i tried this on Debian Stretch development branch, and hav= e no hangs. Tested even in heavy video games. Debian have 13.0.5 version of mesa. But Chromium with enabled hardware acceleration still hangs whole system after 5 min.
It wouldn't hurt if you could confirm whether downgrading to m= esa 12 actually makes the issue disappear or not.=20 For as much, imo, locks are more likely to do with something in kernel. Str= etch has 4.9.. Perhaps you could try one of the latest 4.12rcs I guess?
Hey @Michel, I'll chime in. I've had Radeon HD 7870 for se= veral years now. "ring 0/3 stalled for more than 10000+msecs" was my worst nightma= re for quite some time (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.c= gi?id=3D65963). Some Mesa versions were totally broken because of this happening way too of= ten (as in #65963). Most Mesa versions were good, as in: it doesn't happen *tha= t* often but still happens (e.g. every month or so). Such a low occurrence rat= e of the error makes debugging or bisecting not possible, thus it's not even wor= th reporting it here and taking Michel's or Alex's time. But yet - yes, it does happen every once in a while. Over the years, here's what I found to be a factor in ring 0/3 stalling, an= d by a "factor", I mean something that makes this problem happen a lit= tle more often than normally but still beyond reproducibility. 1. radeon.dpm=3D1 2. switching screens (CTRL+ALT+F1..F7) Hope this helps, somehow.
Just for the record - Mesa 17.1.4-1 and Linux 4.11.9-1-ARCH st= alled on me today. But I know the next time it'll stall again will be a different Mesa = & Linux version as I've been using Mesa 17.1.x and Linux 4.11.x for more than= a month and it's the first time it's happened.
I have been meaning to update this bug report for a long time =
but I have been
having difficulty getting back to a stable system with the right combinatio=
n of
kernel, mesa & xorg-x11-drv-ati. Downgrading mesa makes no difference. I
suspect the problem is something in the kernel
This bug is severe for me, leaving my system almost unusuable. GPU lockup c=
an
happen anywhere from turning on the laptop to just before I get to gdm to l=
og
in. If I manage to log in the session might only last a few minutes. A long
lasting session is a rarity
A hard reboot is necessary. Often when I turn back on the system it just go=
es
straight away to a black screen. It doesn't even go the the Dell boot menu =
that
gives the bios options etc. The card would seem to be alive. Sometimes in t=
his
situation I get a beeping sound from the hardware.
However right now I seem to have hit a sweetspot with the following:
kernel-4.12.8-300.fc26
mesa-17.1.7-1.fc26
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.9.0-1.fc26
I get long sessions lasting possibly hours without lockup. I still do have =
some
problems:
1: Even after a long session without a lockup if I shutdown the laptop norm=
ally
and try to boot it a few hours later it just goes straight away to a black
screen. It doesn't even go the the Dell boot menu that gives the bios optio=
ns
etc.=20
2:There are still the odd random lockup giving all the problems above
Should I change tack & report a bug relating to the kernel instead?

That sounds like a hardware / BIOS issue. That's before the Linux kernel is even loaded.

Michel, it's always been in the back of my mind that this was = a hardware issue because I couldn't get back to a stable system, no-one with similar hardware has reported this exact issue and finally I just re-installed Windows 7 and= I am having all the same problems. This bug report can be closed
