Description:   Opened: 2008-01-07 14:35 0000
32-bit applications which use opengl crash my X server horribly, with the
following error in Xorg.0.log:

X then gets stuck in a loop of crashing, restarting, crashing again.  A hard
reset is required at this point.

When I downgrade to emul-linux-x86-xlibs-10.1, opengl works.  (Some other apps
break because of a missing libexpat.so.0, but that's unrelated.)  When I
upgrade back to emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20071230, the crashes occur again.  So I
believe it to be a bug in one of the libraries contained in 20071230.

To reproduce, run a 32-bit app which makes heavy use of opengl, on an amd64
machine with an i965GM chipset.  The main Darwinia screen crashes it, so does
googleearth (after a few seconds), so does warzone2100 (once you convince it to
compile, it needs a 32-bit libphysfs), and so does xscreensaver's "glschool"
when you compile that with gcc -m32.

It is very consistent - glschool (-m32) runs perfectly 5 times in a row with
emul-linux-x86-xlibs-10.1, and crashes horribly 5 times in a row with
emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20071230.  glschool compiled natively runs fine.  If it
helps, native glschool links against the following libs:

media-libs/mesa-7.0.2
sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r1
x11-libs/libdrm-2.3.0
x11-libs/libICE-1.0.4
x11-libs/libSM-1.0.3
x11-libs/libX11-1.1.3
x11-libs/libXau-1.0.3
x11-libs/libXdamage-1.1.1
x11-libs/libXdmcp-1.0.2
x11-libs/libXext-1.0.3
x11-libs/libXfixes-4.0.3
x11-libs/libXmu-1.0.3
x11-libs/libXt-1.0.5
x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.0.1

I'm having difficulty finding reliable information on the net about this.  It
is related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432110 and
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9415#c7 and
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4603379.html?sid=1f323c67190dc1b1af4ed288293cb604
, but in my case, it only happens when I start a 32-bit opengl app.  (And then
it happens quite quickly).  I tried playing with xorg.conf and xf86-video-intel
versions, with no effect.  Downgrading emul-linux-x86-xlibs is the only thing I
could find that made a difference.

------- Comment #1 From Mark Glines 2008-01-07 17:36:53 0000 -------
Quick update: if I install emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20071230 and then copy in the
/usr/lib32/dri/i965_dri.so from emul-linux-x86-xlibs-10.1, everything works. 
The crash I was getting is somehow triggered by this library.

The Xorg.log trace looks the same, but the method of reproduction is different.
  To reproduce it here, all I have to do is start a 32-bit opengl app and wait
for a few seconds - no extra steps are necessary.

I just tried, and I cannot reproduce a crash using 64-bit "mplayer -vo gl" and
hiding it behind another "always on top" window, the way they described (in
comment #3 of that bug).

------- Comment #4 From Peter Tworek 2008-04-02 11:55:20 0000 -------
I can confirm this bug. On my amd64 laptop with intel i965 GPU xorg will crash
when using any opengl application (even glxgears). Upgrading to:
x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90
media-libs/mesa-7.0.2
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.2.1
fixed the problem with 64bit opengl apps. 32bit apps with
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-20080316 still crash xorg. The only solution
I've found so far, is to compile my own 32bit mesa-7.0.2 and replace
/usr/lib32/dri/i965_dri.

Wouldn't it be better if the mesa ebuild built the 32bit drivers anyway rather
than including them in emul-linux-x86-xlib?  That way they would be kept in
sync with the mesa/xorg stack.

I don't know.  Is mesa any different from any other library, in this regard?

The problem we seem to be having is, the versions contained within
emul-linux-x86-xlibs do not match my USE flags or KEYWORDS.  It looks like the
20080316 package was built on a KEYWORDS=x86 platform, and thus, it got
mesa-6.5.2-r1... mesa-7.0.2 is marked as ~x86.  And I cannot choose the 7.x
version via package.keywords; the emul-linux-* package does not give me a
choice.

Now, if there was an emul-linux-~x86-xlibs package, with KEYWORDS=~x86 versions
of the libraries contained within, we could install that instead and the
problem would be solved. :)

As it stands, it seems like the way to solve this is to get mesa-7.0.x marked
as stable on x86, and then reissue the emul-linux-x86-xlibs package.

I think it is.  The dri drivers are very dependent on the versions of other
components, drm, xserver etc.  Really the 32bit and 64bit versions should be in
sync with each other, otherwise there are no guarantees it's going to work, the
ABIs do change fairly frequently.

The Mesa build machinery already supports --enable-32-bit and enable-64-bit as
configure options so it would be very easy to do.  Actually, I'll implement a
proof-of-concept and see how it goes...

This will keep happening, and it will get worse as new technologies are
implemented, TTM, GEM, DRM modesetting etc.

Yes, this will work until the ABIs change again...

Mesa ebuild multilib build support

I've attached the changes I've made to get the mesa ebuild to build for both
32bit and 64bit ABIs.  Obviously this currently collides with
emul-linux-x86-xlibs.

I've not added ppc64 support, but that's obviously very easy to do, since the
ABI support is very generic (inspired by glibc's ebuild).  Any comments?

I do strongly feel this is the correct approach.  It certainly makes my life
much easier since follow mesa/xorg development very closely.

I've tested a few 32bit GL apps, they appear to work perfectly now.

I'm so sorry about spamming this bug.  It still isn't fixed, I'll be more
careful before I try again...

Never mind.  It was because portage was trying to preserve the incorrect
symlink from the previous broken installation.  The second diff above should
work ok, but I'll attach a cleaned up version once I've tested everything is
working.

Mesa ebuild patch to enable multilib build support (really fixed and cleaned
up)

Okay.  Final working version of the diff to the mesa ebuild is attached.  Note
that I have it installing the libGL*.la files for both ABIs correcting the
libdir in each case.  This should mean the fix to #67729 is now obsolete.

In the end the Mesa build system really didn't want to cooperate so I had to
create a seperate build tree for each ABI.

Mesa ebuild patch to enable multilib build support

After feedback from Dan Nicholson on the xorg list I've changed the ebuild to
not use --enable-32-bit and --enable-64-bit, but instead set the CHOST and
CFLAGS to appropriate values manually instead.  Is powerpc- and powerpc64-
correct for 32bit and 64bit ppc?

This builds and runs fine for me.  I am able to run a 32-bit glschool (from the
xscreensaver project) successfully, looks good, no crashes.

As I alluded to above there has been a parallel discussion ongoing on the xorg

Has any work been done in that direction?  As we stand now, many amd64 users
(most? what are the proportions between those running amd64, ~amd64 and live
ebuilds? DRM versions?) systems will be broken at any one time when it comes to
running 32bit GL software.  The ABIs that the Mesa drivers are anything but
stable between versions.  There needs to be something done in the interim even
if there is a long term goal to address multi-ABI systems from portage
directly.

I have to admit I'm having trouble imagining how such support can be added to
portage, we already have the multilib eclass which provides the necessary
functions to make multilib ebuilds fairly trivial (standardising something like
the src_compile() and src_install() functions I borrowed from the glibc ebuild
would be a very useful addition), the only problem being lack of multilib
awareness in the build systems of the software itself necessitating at worst
the creation of shadow source trees (most autoconf software allows a separate
objdir making this much easier).  I don't see portage wide support would
address this issue - or are you suggesting keeping a separate portage pkg db
for each ABI and working out some way of avoiding the conflicts? Personnaly I
don't think it's much burden for ebuild maintainers of core libraries to have
this support in place, especially if the multilib eclass is extended to make it
easier and more transparent.

emul-* packages only contain stable versions, hence the version mismatch that
was originally reported.

Xorg team: is this something you want to support?

I'm not very enthusiastic about these emul libraries, and I'd rather not get
too close to them for fear of being infected. =)

If people are mixing stable and ~arch, I don't support that. It's unfortunate
that no ~arch emul xlibs exists, so I'd encourage anyone interested to build
it.

With changes made recently to the DRM ABI, libdrm also needs to be build for
multilib.  Fortunately in this case autoconf sucessfully creates a configure
that handles an separate objdir.

Hi!  Thanks for the update.  I just tried it, and unfortunately the crash is
still there.

The new emul-xlibs package still contains mesa 6.5.2-r1.  I don't think this
will be fixed until mesa-7.x is marked as stable on x86 (and an emul-xlibs
update is issued which contains that version).

This is always going to be a problem while the development rate of mesa/DRM is
higher than the Gentoo stablisation process.  It's always going to be out of
sync.  GEM has just hit the freedesktop.org git master branches for the intel
driver, so that's going to be the next thing.

I've been following this bug for a while now, hoping for some resolution to
these problems. For a while I haven't had too many problems, but there's one in
particular I've encountered recently which I'm sure an experienced Gentoo dev
could whip up a hack for it fairly easily. Every once in a while, I'll update
the mesa-9999 and libdrm-9999 to try and keep up with the changes. Now in
updates I have a recurring error when emerging mesa-9999. It stops during the
configure with the message:

checking for DRI2PROTO... configure: error: Package requirements (dri2proto >=
1.99.1) were not met:

You need the latest git version of dri2proto since DRI2 has been re-worked
since TTM was dropped.

Just thought I'd mention this "bug" was also affecting me (I've got a ATi card
that only support 3d with mesa >=7.1, and thus I had no 3d-acceleration in wine
and with 32bit binaries). I strongly feel the mesa and libdrm-ebuilds should
"officialy" support a multilib use-flag.

And thanks to the authors of this ebuilds. They worked like a charm for me. :)

------- Comment #39 From fow 2008-09-29 11:51:24 0000 -------
This bug hasn't had any comments in a while, and I wanted to update it with
info on why it will be a while before it can be resolved, in case it wasn't too
clear.

The current problem is that the GPU driver's memory management---for Intel
GPU's---is being transported from the underdeveloped TTM memory management to
the newer GEM memory management. In a nutshell, GEM is being focused on, as
it's tailored for Intel drivers. Little advancement can be made on the drivers
without integration of a proper implementation.

My explanation is surely containing errors of the issue as I'm no expert, so 
I'll post a few of links detailing the issue.

@fow: Im pretty sure you're not understanding the bug. Well, atleast afaik it's
not about gem or ttm, but simply about the fact that the mesa-ebuild only
builds amd64 binaries on 64-bit-systems and the binarys in emul-linux-xlibs are
outdated, so 32-programms often lack some 3d-features or have no 3d-accel at
all.

------- Comment #41 From Alexander Huemer 2008-10-26 18:37:44 0000 -------
this situation applies to me too.
unfortunately the provided "mesa-7.1-r1.ebuild" doesn't work for me.
http://xx.vu/~ahuemer/build.log
does anybody know why my libX11 is incompatible?

as far as i understand at the moment there is no benefit from having a
emul-linux-x86-xlibs, since the mesa drivers can be built on the local machine
in both 32 and 64 bit incarnations, or am i missing something?
the "mesa-7.1-r1.ebuild" posted here is actually a live ebuild. this is not
necessary (at least for me, but surely for many others too), the main concern
is to get 32bit 3D apps working on 64bit machines with xorg/mesa drivers.
could someone with experience create an normal 7.2 ebuild that builds both a
32bit and a 64bit version?

------- Comment #42 From Alexander Huemer 2008-10-26 18:45:57 0000 -------

The x11-proto dependencies really need updating in the ebuild.  Make sure you
have sufficiently recent versions.  Also you'll need an up to date multilib
libdrm.  If you still have problems get back to me.

------- Comment #44 From Alexander Huemer 2008-10-28 12:28:14 0000 -------
steven,

thanks for your reply.
i have a up-to-date ~ system.
i just installed a multilib-drm from the ebuild of this bug
(libdrm-2.3.1-r1.ebuild renamed to libdrm-2.4.0.ebuild). that worked normally
after unmerging emul-linux-x86-xlibs, because of the known file collisions.
then trying to emerge mesa-7.2 (renamed mesa-7.1-r1.ebuild from this bug), but
this failed again. http://xx.vu/~ahuemer/build.log
i simply don't know why linking against libX11 fails.
any ideas welcome.
thanks again.

------- Comment #45 From Alexander Huemer 2008-10-28 17:02:52 0000 -------
i did some research on the internet and found out that this is most likely
because i do not have a 32-bit version of libX11, which means that just an
other ebuild has to be made multilib capable to make all of this work.
the ebuild of libX11 is currently very short, but unfortunately i don't have
any clue where to start. and i am afraid similar linking problems will show up
in the compile process of mesa, once this is fixed, since this error occurs in
a quite early stage of compiling.

I was previously using the mesa-9999 and libdrm-9999 ebuilds provided here but
at some point 3d stopped working in wine. This seemed to be a upstream bug
though and might even be already fixed in mesa-git, but i'll stick to mesa-7.2
for a while since everythings working great. :D

------- Comment #53 From brot 2008-12-29 15:43:46 0000 -------
Hello. I am using the mesa-9999 ebuild from this page, and i have a problem
with the libGL.la

For example x11-libs/cairo-1.8.6 fails to build with the following error:


libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive             
make[3]: *** [libcairo.la] Error 1  

The libGl.la belongs to the mesa package:

brotscheibe brot # paludis -o libGL.la
* libGL.la
    media-libs/mesa-9999::installed
        /usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la
        /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la

But those libs are a bit small here:

brotscheibe brot # du -hs /usr/lib*/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la
0       /usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la
0       /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la
0       /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la

Even after a reemerge of mesa, those libs are not getting bigger.

Thanks for the ebuilds by the way!

i think i have something that could be of interest.
a buddy from the forums and i created a eclass and modified ebuild for all the

in my setup (amd64 installation, open source ati driver) i can use 64bit and

there is just one little problem left. a modified libGLU.la has to be copied in

this archive contains the current ~ ebuilds, maybe some older ones.
as i already said, someone please fix the libGLU.la problem and annoy the
gentoo devs to take a look at this.
the meta ebuild is in the forums post
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-712511.html

seems that my crossdev env is broken, had to add
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib32" to the emerge command

i just created a new tarball with updated versions of the just released ebuilds
libdrm-2.4.5, libXi-1.2.1 and pixman-0.14.0.
http://xx.vu/~ahuemer/multilib-xlibs-20090226.tgz
as actually anybody using this? some feedback would be useful.

I am still using it (i am the buddy form the forums, i was AFK big time from
the forums). And yes, the updated ebuild still works ok (i made a big system
update today) except libdrm-2.4.5 who now has a implicit depend on cairo and
dont want to compile probably until i convert the cairo ebuild to multilib
(maybe u dont noticed because you had the emul-linux-x86-gtklibs package,
iunno).

Sorry for my english.

I'm the original contributor so naturally, I'm still using it! :) I've been
maintaining my own version locally though.  I'll check out your updates out and
merge anything worthwhile.

It would be nice to get a resolution into portage (or at least the x11
overlay), I'm sure pretty every 64bit Gentoo user involved with xorg
development/testing has run into this bug.

Okay, I've had a look.  Looks good, however have you found it works when a
cross-i686 toolchain is installed?  I found it's necessary to "export" CC and
CXX, otherwise they don't actually get used (see your multilib-xlibs.eclass).

i do not use crossdev.
steven, please take a look again at the forums post [1].
let's discuss there how to continue. do you have contact with any gentoo dev
who could integrate this stuff when it is mature enough, or at least a guy from
the x11 overlay?
