LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
## Bug Fix Analysis
The commit fixes a functional bug in the MSM DRM driver's debugbus
reading functionality for Adreno 7xx GPUs. Specifically:
1. **Incorrect Bitfield Positions**: The code was using A6XX bitfield
definitions for A7XX hardware, but the hardware changed the bitfield
positions. Looking at the changes in `a6xx.xml`:
- A6XX uses bits 15:8 for `PING_BLK_SEL`
- A7XX uses bits 24:16 for `PING_BLK_SEL`
This mismatch would cause incorrect values to be written to the debug
bus selection registers, resulting in wrong or garbage data being read.
2. **Affects Core Debugging Functionality**: The debugbus is critical
for GPU state capture during crashes and debugging. Without this fix,
debugging A7XX GPUs would be severely impaired as the debugbus reads
would return incorrect data.
## Stable Criteria Evaluation
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes - incorrect register programming leading to
wrong debug data
2. **Small and contained**: Yes - only 46 lines changed across 2 files
3. **No major side effects**: The changes are conditional based on GPU
family and only affect debug bus reading
4. **No architectural changes**: Simple conditional logic to use correct
bitfield definitions
5. **Critical subsystem impact**: Moderate - affects GPU debugging
capabilities which are important for diagnosing GPU hangs/crashes
6. **Already upstream**: Yes - commit
13ed0a1af263b56a5ebbf38ab7163cbc9dcb009e is already merged upstream
## Code Safety Analysis
The fix is safe because:
- It adds proper family checks: `if (to_adreno_gpu(gpu)->info->family >=
ADRENO_7XX_GEN1)`
- Maintains backward compatibility for A6XX hardware
- Only changes register programming for debug bus reads, not normal GPU
operation
- The fix pattern is applied consistently to both `debugbus_read()` and
`cx_debugbus_read()` functions
## Impact Assessment
Without this fix, users with A7XX GPUs would experience:
- Incorrect GPU state dumps when GPU crashes occur
- Inability to properly debug GPU issues
- Misleading diagnostic information that could hamper bug resolution
This is a clear bugfix that restores proper functionality for A7XX
hardware without introducing new features or risky changes, making it an
ideal candidate for stable backporting.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's the
extensive analysis:
## Technical Analysis
### Nature of the Fix
The commit fixes a bug in GPU crash dump snapshot generation for Adreno
a7xx GPUs (specifically the x1-85 variant). The issue is in the TPL1
(Texture Processing Level 1) cluster snapshot register definitions where
the PIPE_NONE section was missing.
### Code Changes Analysis
1. **In `adreno_gen7_0_0_snapshot.h`**:
- The original code had only
`gen7_0_0_tpl1_noncontext_pipe_br_registers` which included all
registers (0x0b600-0x0b633)
- The fix splits this into two separate arrays:
- `gen7_0_0_tpl1_noncontext_pipe_none_registers`: Contains the bulk
of registers (0x0b600-0x0b633)
- `gen7_0_0_tpl1_noncontext_pipe_br_registers`: Now only contains
register 0x0b600
2. **In `adreno_gen7_2_0_snapshot.h`**:
- Adds a new entry to the `gen7_2_0_sptp_clusters` array:
```c
{ A7XX_CLUSTER_NONE, A7XX_TP0_NCTX_REG, A7XX_PIPE_NONE, 0,
A7XX_USPTP,
gen7_0_0_tpl1_noncontext_pipe_none_registers, 0xb600 },
```
- This ensures both PIPE_BR and PIPE_NONE sections are captured in
the snapshot
### Why This is a Bug Fix
1. **Incorrect Snapshot Data**: Without this fix, GPU crash dumps would
be missing critical register data from the PIPE_NONE section
2. **Tool Compatibility**: The commit message states "The snapshot tool
seems to expect this for x1-85 as well", indicating external tools
that parse these snapshots expect this format
3. **Consistency with Later Generations**: The commit aligns x1-85
(gen7_0_0) behavior with later generations that already have both
sections
### Backport Suitability Criteria
✅ **Fixes a real bug**: Missing register data in crash dumps affects
debugging capabilities
✅ **Small and contained**: Only modifies snapshot header definitions -
no runtime code changes
✅ **Low risk**: Changes are purely additive to snapshot data structures
✅ **No architectural changes**: Simply corrects register definitions
✅ **No new features**: Only fixes existing snapshot functionality
✅ **Important for stability**: Proper crash dumps are crucial for
debugging GPU issues in production
### Context from Repository
Looking at recent fixes in the same area:
- Multiple snapshot-related fixes have been made recently
(f28c9fc2c82de, e1d5ccf0a62b8, 06dd5d86c6aef)
- The gen7_9_0 variant already has PIPE_NONE definitions, confirming
this is the expected pattern
- This appears to be fixing a downstream KGSL (Kernel Graphics Support
Layer) bug that was carried over
### Risk Assessment
**Very Low Risk** because:
- Only affects devcoredump generation (post-crash debugging data)
- No impact on normal GPU operation
- Changes are data-only (register arrays)
- Aligns with existing patterns in other GPU generations
This is an ideal stable backport candidate as it fixes a specific bug
with minimal code changes and virtually no risk of regression.

[ Upstream commit ef3e9c91ed87f13dba877a20569f4a0accf0612c ]
In the current design, the `pm8008_regulator_get_voltage_sel()` callback
can return a negative value if the raw voltage value is read as 0 uV from
the PMIC HW register. This can cause the probe to fail when the
`machine_constraints_voltage()` check is called during the regulator
registration flow.
Fix this by using the helper `regulator_map_voltage_linear_range()` to
convert the raw value to a voltage selector inside the mentioned get
voltage selector function. This ensures that the value returned is always
within the defined range.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
## Extensive Analysis:
This commit is a clear candidate for backporting to stable kernel trees
based on the following analysis:
### 1. **Bug Fix Nature**
The commit fixes a real probe failure bug in the pm8008 regulator
driver. Looking at the code change at line 99 (`drivers/regulator/qcom-
pm8008-regulator.c:99`), the original implementation had a mathematical
bug:
```c
// OLD (buggy):
return (uV - preg->desc.min_uV) / preg->desc.uV_step;
// NEW (fixed):
return regulator_map_voltage_linear_range(rdev, uV, INT_MAX);
```
### 2. **The Critical Bug**
The original code directly calculates the voltage selector using simple
arithmetic: `(uV - min_uV) / step`. When the hardware register returns 0
(which gets converted to 0 uV), this formula produces a **negative
value** because:
- For NLDO ranges: min_uV = 528000, so (0 - 528000) / 8000 = -66
- For PLDO ranges: min_uV = 1504000, so (0 - 1504000) / 8000 = -188
This negative selector value causes the regulator probe to fail during
`machine_constraints_voltage()` validation, making the entire PM8008
PMIC unusable.
### 3. **Small and Contained Fix**
The fix is minimal - just a single line change that replaces manual
calculation with a proper helper function. The
`regulator_map_voltage_linear_range()` helper properly validates the
voltage against the defined ranges and returns a valid selector or an
error code, preventing negative values.
### 4. **No Architectural Changes**
The fix doesn't introduce any new features or change the driver's
architecture. It simply corrects the voltage selector calculation to use
the proper regulator framework helper.
### 5. **Clear User Impact**
This bug prevents the PM8008 PMIC from initializing at all when the
hardware returns 0V initially. This is a complete failure scenario
affecting real devices like:
- Fairphone FP4 and FP5 (as seen in recent DT commits)
- Qualcomm SC8280XP X13s laptop
### 6. **Recently Introduced Driver**
The driver was only added in June 2024 (commit `11d861d227ed1`), making
this an early bug fix for a relatively new driver. The bug has existed
since the driver's introduction.
### 7. **Already Marked for Stable**
The commit message shows `[ Upstream commit ef3e9c91ed87...]` indicating
this has already been identified for stable backporting by maintainers.
### 8. **Meets Stable Criteria**
According to stable kernel rules, this fix perfectly qualifies because
it:
- Fixes a real bug that affects users (probe failure)
- Is small (1 line change)
- Has no risk of introducing new issues (uses standard helper)
- Fixes a regression (driver never worked with 0V register values)
- Is obviously correct (proper use of framework helper)
The fix is essential for devices using the PM8008 PMIC and should be
backported to all stable kernels that include the original driver
(v6.11+).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
## Bug Impact Analysis
1. **Clear bug fix**: The code analysis shows that
`a7xx_get_debugbus_blocks()` allocates memory for
`total_debugbus_blocks` worth of debugbus data and populates all of
them, but critically fails to set `a6xx_state->nr_debugbus =
total_debugbus_blocks`. This is clearly visible at line 442 of the
fixed code.
2. **User-visible impact**: Without setting `nr_debugbus`, the function
`a6xx_show_debugbus()` at line 1949 will iterate 0 times (`for (i =
0; i < a6xx_state->nr_debugbus; i++)`), meaning NO debugbus data will
be shown in GPU crash dumps for a7xx GPUs. This severely impacts
debugging capabilities when GPU hangs or crashes occur.
3. **Regression timeline**: This bug was introduced in commit
64d6255650d4e0 ("drm/msm: More fully implement devcoredump for a7xx")
from January 2024, which added the `a7xx_get_debugbus_blocks()`
function but forgot to set the counter. The a6xx version of this
function correctly sets `nr_debugbus` at lines 372 and 384.
## Stable Tree Criteria Met
1. **Real bug affecting users**: Yes - debugbus data is completely
missing from a7xx GPU crash dumps
2. **Small and contained fix**: Yes - single line addition:
`a6xx_state->nr_debugbus = total_debugbus_blocks;`
3. **No architectural changes**: The fix simply sets an existing counter
variable that was forgotten
4. **Minimal regression risk**: The change only affects the specific
code path for a7xx GPUs and simply enables already-allocated and
populated data to be displayed
5. **Critical debugging functionality**: GPU crash dumps are essential
for debugging graphics driver issues in production
## Technical Details
The bug is in the a7xx-specific path where:
- Memory is allocated for `total_debugbus_blocks` entries (line 426)
- All blocks are populated via `a6xx_get_debugbus_block()` calls (lines
430-439)
- But `nr_debugbus` is never set, leaving it at 0
- This causes `a6xx_show_debugbus()` to skip all debugbus output since
it loops from 0 to `nr_debugbus`
The fix correctly sets `nr_debugbus = total_debugbus_blocks` after
populating all the data, matching the pattern used in the a6xx
equivalent function.
This is a perfect candidate for stable backporting as it fixes a clear
functional regression in debugging infrastructure without any risk of
destabilizing the system.

[ Upstream commit a506578d8909e7e6f0d545af9850ccd4318bf6cf ]
Program the selector _after_ selecting the aperture. This aligns with
the downstream driver, and fixes a case where we were failing to capture
ctx0 regs (and presumably what we thought were ctx1 regs were actually
ctx0).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:
## Bug Fix Nature
The commit fixes a **clear functional bug** in the GPU crash
dump/snapshot functionality for Qualcomm Adreno GPUs (specifically the
a7xx series). The bug causes incorrect register capture during GPU crash
dumps:
- **Symptom**: Failing to capture ctx0 (context 0) registers correctly
- **Impact**: ctx1 registers were actually ctx0 registers, meaning
critical debugging information was lost or misrepresented
## Code Analysis
The fix is **extremely simple and surgical** - it only reorders two
blocks of code in the `a7xx_get_cluster()` function:
**Before the fix:**
```c
/* Some clusters need a selector register to be programmed too */
if (cluster->sel)
in += CRASHDUMP_WRITE(in, cluster->sel->cd_reg, cluster->sel->val);
in += CRASHDUMP_WRITE(in, REG_A7XX_CP_APERTURE_CNTL_CD, ...);
```
**After the fix:**
```c
in += CRASHDUMP_WRITE(in, REG_A7XX_CP_APERTURE_CNTL_CD, ...);
/* Some clusters need a selector register to be programmed too */
if (cluster->sel)
in += CRASHDUMP_WRITE(in, cluster->sel->cd_reg, cluster->sel->val);
```
The aperture control register (`REG_A7XX_CP_APERTURE_CNTL_CD`) must be
programmed **before** the selector register. This is a classic hardware
programming sequence issue where register order matters.
## Stable Backport Criteria Met
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes - incorrect crash dump data affects
debugging capability
2. **Small and contained**: Yes - only 4 lines moved, no logic changes
3. **No architectural changes**: Correct - purely a reordering fix
4. **Minimal regression risk**: Yes - only affects crash dump path, not
normal operation
5. **Aligns with vendor driver**: The commit explicitly states it
"aligns with the downstream driver"
6. **No new features**: Correct - purely a bug fix
## Additional Supporting Evidence
- The commit has already been marked with "Upstream commit
a506578d8909..." suggesting it's been accepted upstream
- Similar fixes in the same file (e.g., `f28c9fc2c82de drm/msm: Fix
debugbus snapshot`) show a pattern of fixing crash dump issues
- The fix is isolated to the crash dump code path
(`a7xx_get_cluster()`), which is only executed during GPU error
recovery
- The author (Rob Clark) is a maintainer of the MSM DRM driver, lending
credibility to the fix
This is an ideal stable backport candidate - it fixes a clear bug with
minimal code change and virtually no risk of regression.
