<div dir="ltr">Thanks for that.<div><br></div><div>I think you should file a bug against the Mesa r600 OpenGL driver, and add a link to <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/apitrace/2014-November/001011.html" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/apitrace/2014-November/001011.html</a> . It's not clear whether this is a HW or SW problem, but the fact that it doesn't happen with a different card means that the r600 driver developers are you best bet to make further progress.</div><div><br></div><div>IIUC the r600 driver is that the glMapBufferRange(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, ..., GL_STATIC_DRAW) returns uncached memory which is mapped into the PCI device. The fact that the rendering is fine even tracing means the data was correctly stored in the device's memory, so my guess is that when the CPU tries to read the data it just wrote back from the device, the device is sometimes sending gibberish interleaved with the right data. It could be a HW bug (for which a SW workaround might or not be possible, as what ApiTrace tries to do is rarely done in practice by real apps), or SW bug (like some internal device caches/settings need to be flushed).</div><div><br></div><div>That said the Cypress chips are relatively old. I'm not sure how much time r600 driver developers can afford to spend on this issue. I've they often ask users to make traces of bugs, so at very least they will want to be aware of this issue.</div><div><br></div><div>Jose</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 8:33 PM, Benjamin Bellec <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:b.bellec@gmail.com" target="_blank">b.bellec@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I have tested with nouveau (on a GeForce GT210 (NVA8)) and everything is fine with it.

Undo any previous changes to apitrace tree, apply the attached patch zlib.patch and see if it helps. </div><div><br></div><div> This will force apitrace to compress with zlib instead of snappy, so eliminate the chance that the bug is not on glMapBufferRange but inside snappy somehow.</div><div><br></div><div></div><div>2. Ditto with pin-thread-on-cpu.patch.<br></div><div><br></div><div> If this is a problem due to stale CPU cache this might help.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Ditto with glfinish.patch</div><div><br></div><div> If GPU is the one scribbling over then this call should make the issue either never happen or happen all the time.</div><div><br></div><div>4. try tracing the replay of the good ss3_correct_without_patch.trace like<br></div><div><div><br></div><div> ./apitrace trace ./glretrace -b ss3_correct_without_patch.trace</div><div><br></div><div>a few times, and check whether the replays are as good as ss3_correct_without_patch.trace, or if they regress some times, like the real app does.

Maybe this is just coincidence. I'm not an OpenGL developper so I don't know where the glMapBufferRange's "lenght" parameter come from ? (from the game or from the OpenGL driver itself).<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>It's hard to say whether it's related. glMapBufferRange's length parameter is specified by the app, but the app could be computing that value based on glGet* queries done to the OpenGL driver, and some times there are bugs.</div><span><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>To sum up, what do you think I should do now ?
