** Description changed: For some of the arm64 systems arm-smmu driver doesn't seem to work with older versions of the firmware where it encounters "mmu-masters" in the device-tree. In this case, kernel is unable to map simple drm device and fail to boot (Note that for "DMA_API" it works fine). See, drivers/iommu/arm/arm- smmu/arm-smmu.c:arm_smmu_device_dt_probe() for more information. I have seen the error for the following arm64 instances in testflinger: moigno, igor, egede. Updating the firmware seems like one of the possible solutions. I have seen this error in 6.8 kernels (noble+jammy). However, both - series should fail. + series should fail regardless of the kernel version. Focal can be different since "CONFIG_ARM_SMMU_LEGACY_DT_BINDINGS" config options is not defined there. If Focal works, we can remove this config option from Jammy and Noble. + + See error messages below for more information. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mehmet Basaran (mehmetbasaran) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2088458 Title: noble/jammy arm-smmu and firmware discrepancy Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Jammy: New Status in linux source package in Noble: New Bug description: For some of the arm64 systems arm-smmu driver doesn't seem to work with older versions of the firmware where it encounters "mmu-masters" in the device-tree.
