With:
Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
and (the rebuilt) 3.2.45 kernel, all is well on Dell Optiplex 780 and Dell Inspiron 1750 if that matters.

[OOPS]
Forgot to include the Insipron 1750:
Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
Writing this on that (obviously working fine).
[/OOPS]

Hope this helps some.

Well I've got these specs :-
Quote:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
Will try the second rebuild and see how does it go.

Thanks and regards.

I'm still seeing crashes with the second build, on an Intel DQ67SW with Core i7 2600 (HD 2000 Graphics) unless I append nomodeset.

This might be the cause:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/ke...dc11b95adc339c

I'm considering doing a third build. If anyone who is running into problems still could revert this patch and rebuild to see if it fixes the issue, then I'd do it for sure. The only Intel graphics I have here are the trusty GM945, and there's no problem there.

Well I have the following card:

Code:
# lspci -v -s $(lspci | awk '/VGA/{print $1}')
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Device c0b3
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49
        Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
        Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at 3000 [size=64]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
        Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
        Kernel driver in use: i915
and I was having issues with X freezing when using 3.2.45 (both the first and the second package), prior to switching to the 3.8.13 kernel from -current. However to help out with confirmation I'll revert this patch and compile 3.2.45 locally and try again.

Might be a few hours delay in giving you a response though. It is almost midnight here and I need to get some sleep as I expect my 1 year old to wake me during the night (my wife is away so it is just me looking after the little one). Let's see how long it takes to compile. If it is quick I'll let you know soon. Otherwise in the morning my local time.

Ok, well I am done compiling (I actually started compilation some time before I submitted my previous message). I have now rebooted and am now using 3.2.45 with that patch reverted. So far so good. No hangs at all. It has only been a few minutes but then that is all it took previously before the issue showed up. It was very consistent.

I will leave the machine running overnight and have a look at it again tomorrow if you want a longer test. Anyway, thanks for the effort in tracking this down. Your hard work is very much appreciated (even though I am likely to go back to 3.8.13 when all is said and done. ).

Same as ruario here. I reverted the patch, rebuilt the kernel, reinstalled modules, rebuilt initrd, run lilo. After rebooting I didn't have any issues so far, so you probably fixed it. I didn't use the patch command to revert, but I tracked the lines below in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ringbuffer.c and deleted them manually.

Code:
/* Required for the hardware to program scanline values for waiting */
if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen == 6)
I915_WRITE(GFX_MODE,
GFX_MODE_ENABLE(GFX_TLB_INVALIDATE_ALWAYS));
The hardware here is an H67 mini-ITX Intel board with Celeron G530 (HD 2000).

Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 2000
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49
	Memory at fe000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
	Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
	I/O ports at f000 [size=64]
	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
	Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
	Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
	Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
	Kernel driver in use: i915
Now I'll leave the machine running and see tomorrow if it's still fine as it seem to be now.

Thanks for following this thread, Patrick!

Best regards,
Philip

I used the command upgradepkg oldpackage%newpackage, because I do not have much free space on hard drive, but I think that command installpkg may be appropriate as well. The modified packages were kernel-modules*, kernel-huge* and kernel-generic*.
If you use the generic kernel, then you should make a new mkinitrd and then use the command lilo, assuming you boot with lilo.
Interesting however, that slackpkg does not perceive the change.

Still fine, reverting that patch has fixed the issue for me.

No need for oldpackage%newpackage in this case as the pkgtools will accept a downgrade without question (which is a feature, not a bug, I might add). And yep you can just installpkg new kernel packages, rather than upgradepkg allowing you to have both installed.

If you are up to it try reverting the commit that volkerdi highlighted and build your own copy of the 3.2.45 kernel. Or wait, it seems likely that volkerdi will be issuing updated kernels.

If you can't (or won't) compile your own and cannot wait for a new kernel to be issued, then the 3.2.29 SMP kernel packages for Slackware 14.0 can be found here: kernel-generic-smp-3.2.29_smp-i686-1.txz, kernel-huge-smp-3.2.29_smp-i686-1.txz, kernel-modules-smp-3.2.29_smp-i686-1.txz, kernel-headers-3.2.29_smp-x86-1.txz and kernel-source-3.2.29_smp-noarch-1.txz.

If you have a 64-Bit install then the 3.2.29 kernel packages for Slackware64 14.0 can be found here: kernel-generic-3.2.29-x86_64-1.txz, kernel-huge-3.2.29-x86_64-1.txz, kernel-modules-3.2.29-x86_64-1.txz, kernel-headers-3.2.29-x86-1.txz and kernel-source-3.2.29-noarch-1.txz

Install them with either upgradepkg or installpkg. upgradepkg will replace the 3.2.45 kernel packages with these. installpkg will install them alongside.

It is, still running smoothly and without issues: reverting that patch fixed the problem for me too.

Linux 3.2.46 available, but...

Ok, Linux 3.2.46 is now available on kernel.org, however the patch doesn't revert the lines discussed above. I decided to try it anyway, so I updated the original 3.2.45 sources with today's 3.2.46 incremental patch, rebuilt the kernel, modules, initrd and so on, and the previous issues are here again. Just FYI

Philip

Yeah the 3.2.46 ChangeLog makes no reference to either of the troublesome commits (e12a2d53ae45a69aea499b64f75e7222cca0f12f and 393143615d9f2f581d87387268dc11b95adc339c). Additionally a lot of new stuff has gone in, which considering the problems thus far could mean further regressions. If we are gonna get another kernel update, I'm pretty sure Pat is gonna stick with 3.2.45 and just revert that one further problematic fix. Taking 3.2.46 is not worth the risk.

Yet another thread on this issue.

Pat, there was also this thread (in case you missed it).

SalixOS uses the kernel's shipped by Slackware and also had a thread about CVE 2013-1763 - Linux Kernel local root exploit. One of the comments shows another user with this issue after the 3.2.45 kernel update:

It booted into x and the desktop ok, but then completely locked up. I could move the mouse pointer, but no response to clicks or keyboard entries. I reverted back to the old kernel.
