AMD FirePro W5130M radeon/amdgpu driver bug

[David Brinovec]

Hello,

I've been struggling for a long time with an issue I have getting either
the radeon or the amdgpu drivers to work with the AMD FirePro W5130M
discrete GPU in my Dell Precision 3510.

Most recently I've been loading the drivers once I have the system booted
with modprobe commands.  This makes things a bit more convenient for
testing.

I get fairly similar behavior whether I use the radeon driver or the amdgpu
driver.

I'm able to insert the module but once I start an application that uses it
for 3D rendering the application typically freezes and sometimes the entire
system does too.

In my dmesg output I see alot of errors like "ring 0 stalled for more than
##msec" and "GPU fault detected".

In the past when I've reported bugs, I've been told to try the most recent
version of the kernel.  I'm wondering if someone can point me to the best
way to go about that.  As in, is there a good linux distro that I can use
to build the latest kernel, etc.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
