Title:
  Laptop crashes when trying to run discrete AMD GPUs commands with
  Xenial

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm trying to get an A+A (AMD integrated GPU and AMD deiscrete GPU)
  device [1] to work with the open source drivers on Xenial.

  lspci reports the following regarding the GPUs:

  In order to use the discrete GPU, in Xenial you can prefix any command with `DRI_PRIME=1`. However, with this device, doing this crashes the device.

  I tried installing a backported kernel that Alberto provided [2] and
  even though the computer does not crash anymore, it still won't show
  anything (but the process launched will take 100% of the CPU and
  cannot be stopped nor killed, it looks...).

  I tried with the following commands:

  glxinfo
  glxgears
  DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo
  DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears

  Once, I managed to get some output from the `glxinfo` command, with
  and without `DRI_PRIME=1` prefix:

  $ glxinfo | grep -i "opengl"
  OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
  OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD KAVERI (DRM 2.43.0, LLVM 3.8.0)
  OpenGL core profile version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.2.0
  OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.10
  OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
  OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
  OpenGL core profile extensions:
  OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0
  OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
  OpenGL context flags: (none)
  OpenGL extensions:
  OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0
  OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
  OpenGL ES profile extensions:

  $ DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep -i "opengl"
  OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
  OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD ICELAND (DRM 3.1.0, LLVM 3.8.0)
  OpenGL core profile version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.2.0
  OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.10
  OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
  OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
  OpenGL core profile extensions:
  OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0
  OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
  OpenGL context flags: (none)
  OpenGL extensions:
  OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0
  OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
  OpenGL ES profile extensions:



  So it looks like the discrete GPU is used, but so far I couldn't
  really use it to run anything 3D-demanding.

  Attached is a Zip with a lot of logs, hope this will help!
