I don't have hardware to confirm this issue.

I notice that between 2.4.56 and 2.4.58 libdrm changed
some symbol visibility settings.

I am not using bumblebee or primus, so i guess the problem lies there!

Anyway, keeping this bug open for a while.

Out of curiosity, what version nVidia driver are you using?

I dont use the NVIDIA blob, but the nouveau driver...anyhow the intel

Can confirm this issue locally on my current system.

Running Steam through the "primusrun" Bumblebee wrapper to start games
on the nVidia card leads to the following error after starting a game:

malloc: unknown:0: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
last command: (null)
Aborting...Aborted (core dumped)

I can also confirm that downgrading libdrm-intel1 to 2.4.56 fixes the
issue and allows the game to run on the nVidia card just fine.
Furthermore, starting Steam without "primusrun" (thereby causing the
game to start on the Intel card) also does not cause this issue.

Should any testing be desired, I'd be happy to oblige.

Adding the author to the CC list.

Vedran thanks for bisecting this :-)
I'm not sure how this patch can cause such an issue. Either something funny has happened during bisect or there is another underlying problem.


Summary of the problem so far:

Optimus system running Intel mesa and the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
Running Steam (games) with either bumblebee, optirun or primusrun seems
to cause a crash.

Steam Log:
Game update: AppID 550 "Left 4 Dead 2", ProcID 9399, IP 0.0.0.0:0
...
malloc: unknown:0: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
last command: (null)
Aborting...Game removed: AppID 550 "Left 4 Dead 2", ProcID 9399

Bisecting libdrm shows ae8edc7544e as the offending commit.


If an Intel dev has a similar machine they can try to reproduce it locally. Otherwise a back-trace should help at least a bit.

I while back I was able to use gdb with steam. Not sure if it still works
* Close all steam games and the steam client
* $ export GAME_DEBUGGER=gdb
* $ steam

Note I'm not looking into the issue, just trying to get some information
for the Intel devs.

Thanks Emil! Unfortunaltey I am not familiar with Optimus nor do I have
appropriate hardware.

Could someone provide a backtrace (with symbols) of the binary which
ends up saying "malloc: unknown:0: assertion botched", etc? Or maybe
even Valgrind it? Although that may be pretty advanced.

I don't think this commit is the actual culprit, but it is possible that
the failing binary uses UserPtr if it detects it, and has a bug in those
optional code paths.

Another interesting test would be to try non-working libdrm on a kernel
without UserPtr support.

I don't have pre 3.16 kernel easily available.

export GAME_DEBUGGER=gdb still makes the game crash before it runs it
with the debugger.

I've tried various things to make it work (modifying the game startup
shell script) but without success.

When I put the older version of libdrm
(86b37c61c78edd1353a3f76f678c39e2ec168771, before Tvrtkos change), gdb
runs normally for the game. So the steam binary actually crashes, not
the game itself.

It's funny because steam binary is 32bit, Dota 2 binary is 64 bit, and
only changing the 64bit version of libdrm_intel.so affects this bug.

I've tried debugging steam with export DEBUGGER=gdb, but it seems spawn
multiple threads and I'm not experienced with multithreaded debugging.

I did manage to run steam with valgrind, I'll add an attachment now.

I think we'll need to pull in someone from Steam since Valgrind reports

There are not debug symbols so impossible to guess what area of the code
is that.

Then this also looks pretty bad:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/vedran/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Please if someone knows any Steam devs CC them here?

I'm assuming Jordan can coordinate that with Valve. Afaics he is the one assigned for the issue over at github.

Those should be harmless, as steam LD_PRELOADs a bunch of libraries. Afaik steam is 32bit, while Vedran was running a 64bit system - thus the messages. 

There are a couple of other interesting bits in the log:
 - Alarming heap stats (allocated ~770 MiB, in-use at exit ~220MiB)
 - Invalid memory access in various modules - invalid reads in various steam runtime components, alarming number of invalid writes in i965_dri.so.

The latter one perhaps should be looked into closer ?

> Please if someone knows any Steam devs CC them here?
Afaict unless a person is known* by bugzilla one cannot CC them. For example one cannot CC your @intel email, so I've opted for the known @linux.intel one.

Probably not, that is just valgrind not understanding GEM and its
ioctls. You need to use a libdrm compiled with --enable-valgrind to
suppress the false positives.

Title:
  libdrm-intel1 2.4.60 breaks Valve/Steam games

Status in X.Org X server:

Status in libdrm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

  Referring to this bug: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-

  The only option to get games working again is to take the libdrm-intel
  2.4.56 lib files from the .deb and copy them to your local steam
