From 9813c9b9b6d9fa7e56fe0e77ccd4589fd9e90902 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arthur Hanson Rasmusson Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 05:57:04 -0400 Subject: wall-2 session 74: the client's 11s stalls are userspace completion-slot 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. --- tools/guest-diag/wall2/perfstall5.sh | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tools/guest-diag/wall2/perfstall5.sh (limited to 'tools/guest-diag/wall2/perfstall5.sh') diff --git a/tools/guest-diag/wall2/perfstall5.sh b/tools/guest-diag/wall2/perfstall5.sh new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ae1c161 --- /dev/null +++ b/tools/guest-diag/wall2/perfstall5.sh @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +#!/bin/sh +cd /tmp +(timeout 120 /tmp/vk_frame 1 64 64 5 /tmp 0 > /tmp/vk55.out 2>&1 &) +sleep 25 +PID=$(pgrep -x vk_frame | head -1) +cp /proc/$PID/maps /tmp/vk_maps2.txt +sudo perf record -p $PID -g -o /tmp/perf6.data -- sleep 3 2>/dev/null +sudo perf script -i /tmp/perf6.data -F ip,dso 2>/dev/null | grep eglcore | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -8 > /tmp/spin_addrs.txt +cat /tmp/spin_addrs.txt -- cgit v1.2.3
