Public bug reported:
Using the generic arm64 kernel on my raspberry pi 3 it seems impossible
to use any apps that require 3D graphics. The X session crashes and a
reboot is needed to make it bootable again.
Inspecting dmesg, there are a lot of "failed to allocate CMA" messages.
Adding cma=256M to the kernel command line has no effect. Dropping
resolution allows firefox to start, but 3D apps still fail.
I believe the vc4 driver needs CONFIG_DMA_CMA=y, which currently the
generic kernel does not set. The raspi2 kernel has this and 3D graphics
works.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Confirmed
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
