Bug 639842 brinds a GfxInfo implementation. Use it to implement the driver blacklist as we do on other platforms. Whitelist newer Mesa and FGLRX, based on version (in Firefox 4, we were not able to safely get version information, so we could only whitelist NVIDIA). Get rid of MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST.
Blocks: 624593
Karl: there was a comment about a ScopedXErrorHandler being added because the first GLX call could generate a X error on some Mesa versions. Can you check that my patch is not going to break stuff in that respect?
Attachment #522453 - Flags: review?(karlt)
This patch makes GfxInfo::GetData() parse the GL strings to fill a few member variables: mIsMesa, mIsNVIDIA, mIsFGLRX, mMajorVersion, mMinorVersion. For Mesa, all we get is a Mesa version, we don't get an actual driver version. So we have to pick a Mesa version, and from various discussions it's clear that the best criterion we can choose is: Mesa >= 7.10. For example, Ubuntu 10.10 ships with Mesa 7.9 and a version of the intel driver that crashes a lot on the webgl conformance tests, while Ubuntu 11.04 ships with Mesa 7.10 and a newer Intel driver and doesn't crash on WebGL conformance tests. For NVIDIA, we whitelist >= 257.21. The idea is to do the same as we do on Windows. By the time Firefox 5 gets released, this version will be 1 year old. For FGLRX, we don't get any version number besides the OpenGL version number. So we require OpenGL 3 support, which should effectively require a recent driver.

Here's a tryserver build, testing appreciated: http://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=MozillaTry&rev=9775b49ded2e
I wonder why I don't see bug 624935 with the tryserver build above and OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV515 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.10.1 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 but I do get the crash with a debug build based on 7ccb164032a0.
The tryserver build seems to steer clear bug 589546 with OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.10.1 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 about:support says: Adapter Description -- WebGL Renderer Blocked on your graphics card because of unresolved driver issues. Does that mean that the test program failed?
Similarly bug 616416 is avoided with OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on softpipe OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.10.1 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 with the same about:support line.

Comment on attachment 522453 [details] [diff] [review] Part 1: remove the old blacklisting and MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST (In reply to comment #1) > Karl: there was a comment about a ScopedXErrorHandler being added because the > first GLX call could generate a X error on some Mesa versions. Can you check > that my patch is not going to break stuff in that respect? That ScopedXErrorHandler should be unnecessary now as glxtest will crash on the first call that queries the server. Similarly, glxtest makes the workaround for bug 626192 unnecessary. And r+ on this GLX_VENDOR test assuming part 2 implements feature blocking sufficiently. I don't think Mesa 7.10 is ready to be whitelisted in general though. r300 gallium still suffers bug 624935. There's not much point whitelisting software Mesa because the only reason it doesn't crash the browser is that glxtest fails. There's a risk that glxtest might pass and so the browser will crash. I don't know about Intel and r600 Mesa. Perhaps we could whitelist certain chipsets but I fear there might always be the risk that the driver for one chipset might fall back to software in some situations. I don't know what evidence there is for fglrx. Might be worth checking that Mats has an opengl version < 3 (bug 626192 comment 23).

Still, that's a start, I guess.
This applies Karl's comments in bug 639842 comment 29. We use waitpid() to wait only for the specific glxtest process, we check the exit status / signal and report that in the 'Adapter Description' field in about:support for easy debugging.

This allows for much easier debugging. Also removes 2 lines of code that are useless because strtol skips any initial whitespace.

Yes. The new tryserver build (comment 13), thanks to the 'Part 3' patch, reports the status of the GLXtest process in about:support in the 'Adapter Description' field, so it will be much easier to understand.

I mean, about:support doesn't do much besides creating a WebGL context which is just creating a GL context and doing a few GL get-calls. Context creation crashes should be caught by the glxtest process... hopefully?

Comment on attachment 522733 [details] [diff] [review] Part 3: use waitpid(), check exit/signal status, report in "Adapter Description" field This looks better, thanks, so I'll mark r+, but there are still two things that I think should be addressed. 1. waitpid() may return -1 on failure. AFAIK the only case where we expect it to return -1 is when errno is set to EINTR, because waitpid() was interrupted by a signal. In this case, the right thing to do is keep repeating waitpid(). If errno is something else, then AFAIK something unexpected has happened and the function should probably try to recover as gracefully as possible flagging that the verification failed. 2. Even when the strings have been written successfully, if glxtest_status is not 0, then glxtest has failed in some way. I think this also should result in the features being disabled.

That was with the tryserver build, after loading the raytracing demo and then about:support. (Sorry, I wasn't clear above.) I saw this stack, which looks similar, after loading WebGL Earth (no raytracing demo) and about:support. #0 XQueryExtension (dpy=0x3d6e63636d74757c, name=0x7fffef0e5b86 "GLX", major_opcode=0x7fffffffab44, first_event=0x7fffffffab48, first_error=0x7fffffffab4c) at /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.1/work/libX11-1.4.1/src/QuExt.c:43 #1 0x00007ffff28aeee8 in XInitExtension (dpy=0x3d6e63636d74757c, name=0x7fffef0e5b86 "GLX") at /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.1/work/libX11-1.4.1/src/InitExt.c:47 #2 0x00007fffef0b94f4 in __glXInitialize (dpy=0x3d6e63636d74757c) at glxext.c:806 #3 0x00007fffef0df790 in dri2FlushFrontBuffer ( driDrawable=<value optimized out>, loaderPrivate=0x7fffef0e5b86) at dri2_glx.c:460 #4 0x00007fff9219c890 in dri_st_framebuffer_flush_front ( stfbi=<value optimized out>, statt=-284271738) at dri_drawable.c:104 #5 0x00007fff9219bc24 in dri_unbind_context (cPriv=<value optimized out>) at dri_context.c:152 #6 0x00007fff921987f6 in driUnbindContext (pcp=0x7fff9674fac0) at ../common/dri_util.c:117 #7 0x00007fffef0decdb in dri2_unbind_context (context=0x7fffb7ba1e60, new=0x7fffef0e5b86) at dri2_glx.c:172 #8 0x00007fffef0b8e89 in MakeContextCurrent (dpy=0x7fffeca44000, draw=62920442, read=62920442, gc_user=<value optimized out>) at glxcurrent.c:250 > Can you paste the GL strings for this r300 system?

For WebGL, software rendering is > better than nothing (contrary to layers where it'd be worse than nothing). I completely agree that software fallback is a good thing. My concern is that the software implementation is crashy, and while that is crashy, there may also be risk that chipset-specific implementations fall into the same issues. I could be wrong here, so maybe we should try some of the better chipset-specific implementations and see.
Regarding the software renderer: I could reproduce a segmentation fault locally when using the Mesa software renderer, and then I realized that the GLX extension was missing on my system, so a patch is coming to check for the GLX extension before we proceed. Trying to go on without checking for the GLX extension seems to explain a lot of crashes. Regarding the r300 callstack in comment 20: it is crashing in XQueryExtension with "GLX" string so I am hoping that the same fix will fix this too.
Attached patch checking for GLX extension in bug 639842. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=523020 But I take back what I said about how it could fix your and Robert's crashes: the fact that you get GL strings shows that you have the GLX extension.
Hm except that since that patch is doing exactly what you're crashing in in comment 20, there's a chance that it could catch it.
Here is the requested waitpid() change. This is now reported along with other errors in the Adapter Description field, which prompted some reorganization.

Mesa should not be checking XQueryExtension (again) during dri2FlushFrontBuffer/driUnbindContext/MakeContextCurrent I suspect the dpy parameter contains garbage which is why __glXInitialize didn't find a record for the display and so tried to initialize it.

Attached patch Part 8: keep OpenGL layers blocked for now (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
OpenGL layers are not ready to be enabled by default on X11, see bug 650362. Also, whenever we enable them by default, we'll have to explicitly blacklist them on software renderers (searching for "Software" substring in renderer string may be enough). Regarding usage of software Mesa for WebGL, I would like to have it enabled by default for a little period of time so that if the issue is serious, we can gather some crash data about it.

Blocks: 624935
New tryserver build, should arrive in a few hours at: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tryserver-builds/bjacob@mozilla.com-19e3a43fe54b TBPL: http://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=MozillaTry&rev=19e3a43fe54b Oranges are expected since this will likely block the NVIDIA version on the linux test slaves. But this dumps the driver info into the log, so we'll be able to special-case it for landing. Joe: I applied most of your review comments. The only one I didn't apply was the one about using nsStringClasses because I hate them and this code is Unix-specific anyways.
With the new try build, here's what my Sandy Bridge machine confined to run vesafb says now (without crashing): Adapter Description: GLXtest process failed (received signal 11) WebGL Renderer: Blocked on your graphics card because of unresolved driver issues. GPU Accelerated Windows: 0/1 The laptop with the older Intel chip works the same as with the previous builds (Flight of the Navigator shows roughly 1 frame in 2 seconds) and has the following info: Adapter Description: Tungsten Graphics, Inc -- Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2 Driver Version: 1.4 Mesa 7.10 WebGL Renderer: Tungsten Graphics, Inc -- Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2 -- 1.4 Mesa 7.10 GPU Accelerated Windows: 0/2 Looks to me like this patch series is effective. :) (And I hope I'll be able to run Sandy Bridge with actual Intel drivers soon and see if it works as well, then.)
@ Robert, thanks for the update, it's great to know that it's actually working on other machines than mine. --- So, the tryserver build dumping GL strings on test slaves gives me this: NVIDIA Corporation -- GeForce 9400/PCI/SSE2 -- 3.2.0 NVIDIA 190.42 -> updated patch coming whitelisting the test slaves' setup.
This is explained in a comment in the patch: // whitelist the linux test slaves' current configuration. // this is necessary as they're still using the slightly outdated 190.42 driver. // this isn't a huge risk, as at least this is the exact setting in which we do continuous testing, // and this only affects GeForce 9400 cards on linux on this precise driver version, which is very few users. // We do the same thing on Windows XP, see in widget/src/windows/GfxInfo.cpp So this tryserver build is expected to be all green: http://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=1a81c84895b7

Oh, nice bugzilla 4.0 bug in comment 44! The TBPL and attachment links were interverted.
The other option would be to set the preferences used in testing to force use of webgl and/or opengl layers.
That has already been considered in bug 628384, a patch was even written, but was ultimately rejected. See bug 628384 comment 14. Whitelisting the test slaves config seemed like the path of least resistance.
Linux/Qt build was busted because I was unconditionally using the crashreporter API. This one should be green: http://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=06cfd100bb49
