unable to fold on 7970 under Linux, Windows10 runs fine

Hello,
I'm breaking my head the last few days about a problem on my linux machine with an AMD 7970 graphics card. I'm getting the following error:
Code: Select all
WU02:FS01:0x21:ERROR:exception: Error initializing context: clCreateCommandQueue (-6)
My system is Manjaro linux. On an almost identical system with the same graphics card folding under windows 10 everything is just fine

Some people have also needed to install the OpenCL dev package on Linux to get things going, someone mentioned something about it fixing up some links. As I recall, you need the AMD pro install for OpenCL for the runtime code.

Okay, I'll check if the developer packages are installed. I'm running amdgpu drivers and the Opencl driver from AMDGPU-pro-orca package (AUR)

After a foray into opencl-development pacakges (checked and tried all packages for my system here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GPGPU#OpenCL
The error still persists.
Any other solutions?

Hi! I am a Manjaro Linux user but have CPU-on-die videocard and folding on a CPU only.
So if old
method clCreateCommandQueue was removed from nowadays OpenCL API and sometime ago it was added as new (cause Joe_H mention OpenCL dev package was required sometime ago, may be
years ago), so may be to try to install OpenCL package version which API contains that clCreateCommandQueue method/interface/command?
In the end of the first link in that post you can see
"OpenCL Specification" link to PDF-doc of specification named "The OpenCL Specification. Version: 1.2"
So at least in that version that method exists. May be it is good idea to investigate the versions spectrum which contains the method by specification documents, after it to search available packages and then to choose that to install, for example to base on newest possible package version (which contains that method) criteria.
Joe_H, it looks like FAH should make system requirements section and contain that detailed info to make it one time by pro-person instead of making it by each user having that error. May be it is good idea to add this requirements section to be planned for further FAH user software after killing of COVID19?

I know this like 6 months old. But just in case anyone finds it useful even if I didn't because this didn't work for me.
But some people have seemed to have found success setting the following environment variables
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
also clCreateCommandQueue (-6) is CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host
and clinfo previously failed on the Global Free Memory (AMD) check in my cases, but passes after setting the above variables.
This unfortunately didn't work to fix fah's error for me. But maybe this could help some others with the issue.

This is a GCN 1.0 GPU. If only setting some environment variables fixes it, that would be great, but support for OpenCL on GCN 1.0 in the official AMD Linux drivers were dropped sometime after the Catalyst 15.7 drivers for Linux.
The only way I got a Radeon HD 7770 folding under Linux was by downgrading to an earlier kernel, installing old drivers and installing a single file from the AMDGPU Pro's toolkit files (on top of the regular driver), with some help from Joe_H. More details here: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=35320&start=30#p340362

Yes, I looked closer at the AMD Linux driver release notes, and although version 18.20 of the AMD Radeon pro drivers explicity supports the Radeon HD 7700 series cards,
the release notes also lists about its components: "OpenCL™1.2 (not supported for 1st generation GCN products)", as you say.
gunnarre wrote:I made a virtual machine instance for the Radeon 7770 HD based on Ubuntu 14.04 and the Catalyst 15.7 drivers from AMD. I downgraded the kernel to 3.19.0-25, installed the fglrx_core .deb-file and its dependencies. I had to copy the file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default from fglrx_ (non-core) .deb file - otherwise clinfo would only work once and then segfault. I also installed fglrx-dev and ocl-icd-opencl-dev, but I'm not sure of that was necessary. The CPU usage seems to be similar as under Windows 10, depending on the work unit. Guest machine memory usage is less than half, down from over 2GB to between 380 and 760 MB when folding.
Only way I would run this was under a virtual machine that is locked down and not used for anything else. Running it on Windows 10 is easier, because GCN 1.0 chips still have OpenCL 1.2 support there, but the performance was actually better under the Linux virtual machine.

I mean I get a bad work unit error from FAH because it couldn't create a proper opencl context because creating clCreateCommandQueue failed because it thought the host was out of memory.

I put my stuff here for the sake of a response, but I think the virtual machine solution by u/gunnarre is the probably the best anyone's gonna get at the moment.

The R9 270x is a rebadged HD 8870 which was just the OEM rebadging of the HD 7870. AMD gives them the same PCI device ID number, and other than some minor tweaks the cards are essentially the same hardware.
Basically any GCN 1st gen card from AMD will have to be used under Windows, AMD dropped Linux support for them years ago. The drivers required to provide OpenCL support do exist, but are years old and may have other issues with the folding cores created in the last few months. OS support is limited to Ubuntu 16.04, and that can take some kernel tweaking to support the older drivers.

Well, fancy that! I inherited a MacPro1,1 (late 2006) room heater (2 socket x 4-core Xeon = 8 core), that has 32GB RAM and a R9 280x GPU that lets it run modern Mac OS. Since Mac OS doesn't support GPU folding at all (groan), I shoehorned Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS onto it (in 64-bit mode with a tweaked install ISO). From there, I locked it onto kernel 5.4.0-53 with some apt-get install and apt-get remove magic (things like linux-image-..., linux-modules-extra-..., removed the latest, installed the -53 version, removed "unattended-upgrades" so it doesn't break itself automatically like another system of mine did - that GPU driver is kernel-version-locked so upgrades will break it), then from THERE I installed the amdgpu-pro-20.45-1164792-ubuntu-20.04 package (Google around for "amdgpu 20.45" - it was only by shotgunning different version numbers in search, I was able to discover that this recent version exists).
After installing that (and *not* ROCm - though I installed ROCm first, it didn't detect any GPU compute devices for OpenCL so I uninstalled it after encountering a file conflict issue with the GPU driver), I was able to see that the GPU was available for OpenCL. But it still gave me this weird error about "clCreateCommandQueue".
Until... I mixed in this advice:
wrothran wrote:I know this like 6 months old. But just in case anyone finds it useful even if I didn't because this didn't work for me.
But some people have seemed to have found success setting the following environment variables
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
also clCreateCommandQueue (-6) is CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host
and clinfo previously failed on the Global Free Memory (AMD) check in my cases, but passes after setting the above variables.
This unfortunately didn't work to fix fah's error for me. But maybe this could help some others with the issue.
And boom, it's actually crunching, now generating a whopping (*checks FAHControl*)... ha-ha, ahem
(alt-tabs away) ... we're just gonna check that PPD a little later after it gets its head right. It's a system that's closer to voting age than not... so... I must forgive its pokey progress.
Still, a functional room heater, thanks to all the tips and tweaks and hacks and nonsense I've pulled together here from various corners of the internet and hours of keyboard mashing.
edit: 231,729 PPD estimate. Not too shabby.

As I wrote above, AMD stopped providing full video drivers for older generation cards to be used on Linux several years ago. Actual kernel support for those drivers date to about Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04, as you have written it takes going to older kernels to get this to work. Congratulations on getting there.
AMD has only supported recent GPUs with ROCm, unless somebody backports it to these older models that is not going to be a workable approach.

No, it's not an older kernel - it's actually newer than Ubuntu 20.04 itself. It worked out-of-the-box at first on a PC I set up before (ugh, as far as out-of-the-box means all the weird AMD driver installation and additional package patching and such, but not with any weird broken installation issues), but it broke with an automatic update to the kernel subversion (where it would no longer uninstall/reinstall, it'd just fail to install, on the same system, with nothing evident changed). There's some dynamic module compiling going on, and it breaks with the newer -56 patch of the same kernel version - which would be the latest available for any system. The driver pack is only October 2020, so ... something broke since then, and damnit I'm tired of hunting down new versions, so I just whacked unattended-upgrades over the head and told it to stop breaking things.
So IOW, this thing is running perfectly on bleeding edge, newest Ubuntu and second-newest patch version of the kernel.
Linux is a perpetual headache for me any time I try to deal with it.
Even on relatively new cards, it's always a frustrating mess to get there. But I don't have many newer cards to play with, so who knows.
