mainline kernel + H3-GPU + X11-window/glmark2 extremly slow

[wuweidong0107]

Hi,guys
I am testing mainline kernel + H3 + GPU by follow repo:
https://github.com/mripard/sunxi-mali.git
https://github.com/free-electrons/mali-blobs
https://github.com/mripard/xf86-video-armsoc

About kernel:
I've done these step:

1. added mali node in dts
2. cherrypicked this commit(nextthingco/linux@e390023)
3. CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_OVERALLOC=200

About rootfs:
I've done these step:

1. install xf86-video-armsoc:
   $ git clone https://github.com/mripard/xf86-video-armsoc
   $./autogen.sh
   $ apt-get install libudev-dev
   $ make && make install
   $ cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
   $ cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/
2. cp x11_dma_buf/*.so* rootfs/usr/lib/

I am able to run glmark2-es2.But it is extremly slow. Only 15 fps....Any hints will be appreciated.

Hi @wuweidong0107 can you paste in your x11 log? It seems x11 is using swrast or something like that instead of Mali for rendering.

@wuweidong0107 it seems you didn't compile armsoc_dri.so since it complains it can't find it

[wuweidong0107]

Is armsoc_dri.so important? Where can I find its sources?

[giuliobenetti]

It is the interface for using kernel dri.
xf86-video-armsoc has the sources, but when compiling it, you need libdri already compiled for target.

[wuweidong0107]

I prefer to disable AIGLX by changing my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Allwinner sun4i DRM driver"
Driver "armsoc"
Option "DRI2" "false"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

Am I on the right path?

[giuliobenetti]

You need DRI2 set to true to have HW acceleration.
Then x11 will complain there is not armsoc_dri.so but you need it to interface with kernel dri.
so retry to:

• compile libdri and install it
• recompile xf86-video-armsoc and install it
• check armsoc_dri.so is present on both host and target

Then it should work properly.
I don't know AIGLX to tell the truth

[wuweidong0107]

Just finish your suggest. No luck

1. I compile this repo on my H3 board:
   git clone https://github.com/robclark/libdri2
   cd libdri2
   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --prefix=/usr
   make && make install && ldconfig
2. recompile xf86-video-armsoc, but not find armsoc_dri.so:
   autoreconf -v -i
   ./configure
   apt-get install libudev-dev
   make && make install
   cp /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

the X11 windows is still lagging

[giuliobenetti]

Can you pastebin xf86-video-armsoc configure and build log? We need to understand if it found libdri correctly.
also pastebin x11 log.
thanks

[wuweidong0107]

1. cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
   Section "Device"
   Identifier "Allwinner sun4i DRM driver"
   Driver "armsoc"
   Option "DRI2" "true"
   EndSection

2. xf86-video-armsoc:
   config.log

3. xorg.conf
   Xorg.0.log

[giuliobenetti]

Can you also post xf86-video-armsoc build log?
I suspect you need to configure it with:
./configure --with-drmmode=sun4i

Thanks

[wuweidong0107]

I run ./configure --with-drmmode=sun4i. configure log is here:
config.log
I notice that WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-drmmode...

"make && make install" 's log is here:
make_make_install.log

the X11 windows is still lagging.

[wuweidong0107]

kernle's log:
dmesg.log

[giuliobenetti]

It complains about:
[ 12.904] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[ 12.904] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

It's looking for armsoc_dri.so in different folder than yours.
Try create symbolic link with:
ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so pointing where you have your real armsoc_dri.so
In this way AIGLX should find library.
It's strange, because for the rest it can find it.
But give it a try.

Let me know

[wuweidong0107]

In my rootfs there is no armsoc_dri.so in any directory...still don't know how to get one...
