IMX6Q system hang-up problem / linux kernel(3.0.35)

raoxd — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 05:32:44 GMT

imx6q use L3.0.35_4.1.0_130816 to build u-boot,kernel and rootfs. when we run our app(qt app), the system hang-up when run 3 days. it happen serval times.

in the kernel log you may find notifications like:

     [ 73.247613] INFO: rcu_preempt_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 0} (detected by 3, t=6002 jiffies)

     [ 618.217610] INFO: rcu_bh_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 0} (detected by 3, t=60098 jiffies)

in community, i find someone encounter the same problem,according Re: Re: freescale android kernel have scheduling problem !!!,i follow steps below to patch my kernel.

1.modify time.c

rcu_preempt_state detected stalls" could be fixed with the followng patch, please try

but when i finish modify，the kernel still hung up like before。 i also try to update gpu lib to p13，but i found lib(libEGL,libGAL) in gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-3.0.35-4.1.0 can not work in p13. is it p13 cannot used in linux?

is there anyting i can try to fix this problem in linux?

can you provide patch that suitable for Linux3.0.35_4.1.0？ or can you tell me what linux version you used? thanks.

PeterChan — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 07:20:07 GMT

I have picked up some recent bug fixes for L3.0.35_4.1.0 that may related to this hang up issue. Would you please apply these patches in sequence and let me know if the problem still persists?

Note: 0009-ARM-imx-return-zero-in-case-next-event-gets-a-large-.patch is added

Re: IMX6Q system hang-up problem / linux kernel(3.0.35)

wallyyeh — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 12:16:33 GMT

It take me more than 5 minutes to get the link, here is the correct position which igorpadykov provide:

1. enter the web page:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX6Q&nodeId=018rH3ZrDRB24A&fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab

2. In "Run-time software (70) Expand All" <-- notice (70) might increse to (71) or more

click the sub class "Operating System Software-Board Support Packages (30) " <-- notice (30) might increse to (31) or more

3. click "IMX6_JB43_111_ANDROID_SOURCE_BSP", now you can download the file.

cheers

Hi,PeterChan :

1. I also meet the same problem which patch 0027-ENGR00306276-iMX6-Add-workaround-for-ARM-errata-7613.patch, 0026-ENGR00306257-1027-fix-system-hang-up-issue-caused-by.patch and 0025-ENGR00295714-GPT-Status-register-bits-are-cleared-in.patch and 0009-ARM-imx-return-zero-in-case-next-event-gets-a-large-.patch.

2. and if I config the configure with "# LOCAL_TIMERS is not set", the problem seems solved.. but if i config the configure with "LOCAL_TIMERS=y" the system hung up after few days again.

3. if "LOCAL_TIMERS is not set", it can influence the data of our app comunicate to imx6q by USB delay or loss.

by the way, my kernel is 3.0.35_4.0.0,android4.2.2,imx6.

is there anyting i can try to fix this problem in linux? thanks!

Has the board pass the DDR stress test at https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-96412?

Have you ever checked the i.MX6 input power rails to ensure they can meet the minimum voltage requirement?

The L3.0.101_4.1.1 has just released at http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX6Q&fpsp=1&tab=Design_Tools_Tab. Could you please try this release?

Hi igorpadykov

PeterChan

Thanks for you information about the "android_jb4.3_1.1.1-ga_source.tar"patch.

As what I understand, this jb4.3_1.1.1 patch is just for FSL Android 4.3 version.

while, what about FSL Android 4.4.2 BSP version??does this version need to do the patch??

FSL didnot release any patch about Android 4.4.2 on the official imx6 site ,

could i think that FSL Android 4.4.2 BSP have been merged all these patch?

Re: IMX6Q system hang-up problem / linux kernel(3.0.35)

igorpadykov — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 15:30:21 GMT

Hi cai

yes android 4.4.2 also needs these patches, though

I do not know when they will be released.

simon_cai — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 15:52:13 GMT

Hi PeterChan

I also meet hand up issue on android 4.2.2 BSP.

can I take use of your attached patch files to merge into Android 4.2.2 BSP??

does Android 4.2.2 BSP kernel version is base on L3.0.35_4.1.0 ???

Re: IMX6Q system hang-up problem / linux kernel(3.0.35)

simon_cai — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:11:23 GMT

hi igorpadykov

thanks for your relay.

one more question, Can Android 4.2.2 BSP be taking use of these Patchs(android_jb4.3_1.1.1-ga_source.tar)??

Re: IMX6Q system hang-up problem / linux kernel(3.0.35)

igorpadykov — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:32:33 GMT

Android 4.2.2 uses L3.0.35_4.0.0 while jb4.3_1.1

L3.0.35_4.1.0, probably some modifications are needed.

Re: IMX6Q system hang-up problem / linux kernel(3.0.35)

raoxd — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 01:15:59 GMT

Hi，PeterChan：

i has run DDR stress test, and pass when i set freq from 450MHZ to 672MHZ.

and input power also can meet the minimum voltage requirment.

i has try L3.0.101_4.1.1,the problem still persists, it just like L3.0.35_4.1.0 when patch file what you supply.

compare to L3.0.35_4.1.0, i found that L3.0.101_4.1.1(or L3.0.35_4.1.0 with patch) just printf the log(rcu_preempt_state detected stalls...),but the system did not hang up.

it also did not printf log Frequently.

PeterChan — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 03:20:59 GMT

Hi Rao xd,

Do you have any simple way to reproduce the "rcu_preempt_state detected stalls on CPUs/tasks" error on L3.0.35_4.1.0?

Hi Bateman Cai,

Unfortunately, Android 4.2.2 is based on L3.0.35_4.0.0.
