* wall-2 session-76 addendum (r681): decode the main-thread vkCreateDevice ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson13 days
| | | | wait - should-wait = (readiness word != 1), readiness = u32 at nvidiactl-mapped holder+0x80 (VM_IO page, 39/39 reads zero, all fd polls time out), give-up predicate dcee20 fires -4 only on RM error flags (b29d60 / +0x70cc); the word's writer is the guest kernel driver/RM, not host RAM
* vgsp-rm r680 + wall-2 session-76 forensics: 0x2080a097 reply record-area ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson13 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tunables (wall2_a097_count/rec0..rec7, default 0xffffffff = echo) and the evidence set that re-questions the a097 gate The real host RM 0x2080a097 handler (GSP-RM 570.144 control table entry, params 0x490) overwrites params+4..+0x23 with up to four {u32,u32} mode pairs (engine value + a x1000 clock/percent) and the client copies back the first 16 bytes; the tick at eglcore 0xd5e3e0 consumes the second word of the first pair as the per-engine progress (session +0xe104, compared against per-boot config threshold 95 at lib+0x2019320+0xffc with 10/20 bit-history cutoffs). New module params let one boot sweep the record matrix; the r680 sweep (flag/v488/v48c + count/rec matrix incl. progress 100..1000000) changed nothing observable, and hw watchpoints show E+0x150 stays 0x00200000 with no writer over 5+ minutes while the a097 poller is a worker thread and the main thread sits in a 10 s poll() loop on /dev/nvidia0 inside vkCreateDevice. Tools: t75g.py (in-guest gdb state/watch probes), diag76.py (thread bt + address resolution), slots_probe.sh, run75g.sh; README-session76.md records the firmware handler decode and the sweep.
* wall-2 session 74: the client's 11s stalls are userspace completion-slot ↵Arthur Hanson Rasmusson13 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | spins; the next wall is the polled RM control 0x2080a097 Root-caused the vk_frame client's exact 11.00s gaps: a pure sched_yield + clock_gettime userspace spin inside libnvidia-eglcore's EGL/GL init, waiting for completion slots (u16 at slot+0xe == 0xffff) in /dev/nvidiactl mappings. Guest-side filling of the slot flags lets the client proceed immediately, but vkCreateDevice still fails -4: with the slots filled the client settles into an NVOS54 poll of RM control 0x2080a097 (paramsSize=1168) which our emulation answers with the generic all-zero reply, so the poll never completes. Also captured: sema_push_raw dumps proving the GR channel-init push contains NO release (entry0 decodes 2 methods then zeros; entry2 SET_OBJECT 0xc597 then zeros), and the negative result that neither channelFillGpFifo nor nvWriteGpEntry runs for this channel's kick. New probes: gdbpoll6/gdbu16/gdbfill/gdbwatch/gdbparam/gdbgap3/gdbspin (slot check, flag fill, NVOS54 param dump, backtraces), slotfill{,2}.sh (guest slot watcher), stracevk/fastrun{,2}.sh (strace+perf recipes), find_ring_va.py and vmap_watch2.py (vmap/kcore watchers), README-session74.md.
* wall-2 forensics tools: GR channel-init push localization (session 73)Arthur Hanson Rasmusson13 days
Tools and findings from the live wall-2 campaign (r674/r675): the vk_frame client's GR channel-init push (va=0x4480000 len=1432) cannot be translated by the sema service, so no release is applied and vkCreateDevice fails -4. Captured: the RM window-record/memdesc layout (ring memdesc PA == the service's validated ring pa; push memdesc PA injected live and read by the service without a false-translation line), the CE-only shape of the service rescue matcher, the notrace status of nvidia/modeset kprobes (QEMU gdb hbreak works), and the ring-entry encoding from channelFillGpFifo/nvWriteGpEntry (neither runs for this channel's kick). New tools: wall2_resolver{2..5}.py, wall2_livecap{1..3}.py, RAM structure scanners (scan_r673*.py, trace_push674.py), gdb675*.gdb probes, plus a README with the ranked next steps.
