* wall-2 session-86: the DEVICE_LOCAL -2 wall CRACKED - the 512 MiB emulated ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | VRAM was the gate (the ICD hooks captured ALLOC size=0x4000 typeIndex=1 valid; vk_memprops shows device-local heap[0]=512 MiB); the nvidia-nvidia-vgpu-turing-2g mdev type (2 GiB heap, VGPU_MDEV_TYPE env var honoured by start_vm_keep.sh) lets the same client with the same recipe proceed past vkAllocateMemory into a deeper wait (os_schedule, no -2); remaining: the later pushes at va=+0x52d4/+0x586c read pa=0x0 (window page list scattered; injections covered page 1 only) - extend the window injections; tools: vk_memprops.py, vk_alloc_test.py (hits -4 without the harness), t91.py
* wall-2 session-85 BREAKTHROUGH: the NvOgl wait CLEARED - the A8 loop's exit ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | needs the session count *(u32*)(lib_base+0x2070b7c) to reach 0 (the engine sessions' completion counter); a direct gdb write of 0 cleared the wait and the client ADVANCED past the post-device phase for the first time (VKDEVICE ok then VKFAIL vkAllocateMemory -> -2 OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY at vk_frame.c:204 - the new wall: the DEVICE_LOCAL heap/type reporting, no alloc RPC reached the emulation)
* wall-2 session-84: the a86038 want-scan mapped - all four entries PASS with ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | the driven window value (wants {0,0,0,6} vs actuals {0,0,0,0xffffffff00000100}, no pending); a full-window write (0x0..0x1ff0) does not clear the wait; the residual gate is the A8 loop's internal callback/retry machinery (the a85f30 exit path decrements *(rbp) while firing the global callbacks 0x206f790/0x206f7a0 with args from rbp+0x30/0x38/0x40) and the slow yield-spin cadence (b284b0(...,0xb))
* wall-2 session-83: the A8 completion counter decoded to a client readback ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | window - a82f30 -> *(obj+0x19b8)=eglcore+0xb250f0 -> b1bf00 (slow path obj+0x224==0) -> b27c90 reads *(u32*)(*(*(obj+0x1480)+0x58)+idx*16) (idx 0xbb.., min over n=*(u32*)(obj+0x22efc)); the window for handle 0xbeec0100 is VA 0x7827e6c12000 (/dev/nvidiactl) and the host CAN write it via the RAM file: writing 0x100 made the client read it (obj+0x1070=0x100, actual table entry 0xffffffff00000100) - first live proof the counter can be driven from the host; the wait persists in the loop's second scan (a85ec1/b29dc0) and the *(rsp+0x38) branch
* wall-2 session-82: counter-page PA hunt - the client's pagemap does not ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | contain the counter pool (guest_pmap_win.py empty for 0x20400f000 and 0x121000000 ranges; semfix_uvmt's pin_counter_page never succeeded) and the vidmem-window hypothesis is not supported (poke_vidmem at the pool window offset 0x3F87000 + rank slots 0xfd0/0xfc0/0xfb0 with 6 then 0x40 changed the shadow but did not move the A8 wait); gdb attach hangs on the post-device spin (kill by PID + SIGCONT recovery)
* wall-2 session-81: counter-autoreg gap analysed - svc_counter_autoreg needs ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | an ipin pin or svc_counter_derive for the rank slot (0x20400fec0+(19-r)*0x10); both miss for the counter page 0x20400f000 (the client does not map it - pagemap empty, no VMA; it is a UVM kernel object; the pin stream's sem resolutions are 0 despite 44 want-list entries); bypass: the sema_counter param registers a slot manually (echo <h_object>,<pa>); GL ranks 0,1,2 -> slots 0x20400ffd0/0xfc0/0xfb0
* wall-2 session-80: ALL low-aperture window records found via the 'liat'-tag ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | fix (the record tag is the u32 0x7461696c whose on-disk bytes are 'liat', not 'tail'); wall2_recscan.py scans them; the GR init semaphore windows identified and injected (0x4b17000->0x12a76f000 verified by content: +0xbb0=3/+0xe30=1 = the release payloads; 0x4b19000->0x122f9b000, release applied there) - releases now land on the semaphore pages; the NvOgl wait still spins (the A8 loop's per-entry counter tables are the remaining completion condition)
* wall-2 session-79: resolver7 tool + the corrected pair-specific injection ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | recipe (0x4480000->0x125692000, 0x4ca0000->0x131649000, 0x4b16000->0x12a76a000) and the window-record layout {tag,VA,SIZE,0,tail} stride 0x40; documents the resolver7 cross-pair bug, the decoded low-VA releases and the remaining semaphore-VA translations (pending=417)
* wall-2 session-78: post-device wait identified as the NvOgl (GL ucode) ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
| | | | engine init (A8 retry loop work item named NvOgl_m0; D6 submit ORs 0x200000 into the pending word) and the push windows become READABLE via the resolver6 window-record/memdesc recipe (0x4480000 -> 0x120cfb000, 0x4ca0000 -> 0x12e51e000; the service decodes the GR init streams where sessions 73-74 saw unread) - remaining gate: have_rel=0 (CE-shaped matcher) and the GR forward not engaging (forwarded=0 gr_nocap=4 drain held=4)
* wall-2 session-77: vkCreateDevice PASSES - r682 0x7E event validated live ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson3 days
(registered slot 13, EVPOST rc=0) and the completion word found/driven: the main-thread wait reads a u32 at +0x80 of a 16 KB rw-s /dev/nvidiactl notification mapping (should-wait = word != 1); a host write of 1 via the guest RAM file (PA from pagemap, file offset PA-0x80000000 above 4G) flips the wait and vkCreateDevice returns success (VKDEVICE ok family=0) - reproduced 3x (r683 manual, r684 nudger, r684d probe+single-word). Tools: t79.py (wait-chain resolver), guest_words.sh, nudge.sh; README-session77.md records the recipe, the residual guest event-dispatch gap (records consumed, notification word not written), and the -4/gdb-attach cautions.
