Well I found out why, I compiled i915 into the kernel it seems, at least
I don´t have an i915 module in lsmod. But also i915.i915_enable_rc6=7 on
kernel command line does not seem to have any effect. I removed the
option.

Since using SNA I didn´t see a GPU hang so far. Too early to say for
sure, but it seems something in UXA may have triggered it more easily.

Title:
[snb] GPU lockup IPEHR: 0x0b160001 IPEHR: 0x0b140001, workaround
i915.semaphores=0
Status in X.org xf86-video-intel:
In Progress
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in sandybridge-meta package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
X locks up periodically for a 2 to ten seconds at a time and this
crash log gets generated. It's significantly more than several times a
day but not quite continuous. If you indeed have this bug, that should
stop the lockups from happening. Irrespective, please file a new bug
report so your hardware may be tracked.
WORKAROUND: Edit your /etc/default/grub from:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=0"
run the following and reboot:
sudo update-grub
The side effects of this is rendering throughput is dropped by 10%
with SNA, or as much as 3x with UXA. OpenGL performance is likely to
be reduced by about 30%. More CPU time is spent waiting for the GPU
with rc6 disabled, so increased power consumption.
