My Question or Issue

Spotify randomly segfaults and forces me to switch to tty to restart my graphical session (xorg). The sound is still playing, and I can move my cursor, but nothing else responds. I found the segfault while going through the journalctl logs.

Here is the guilty part:

tl;dr: Spotify crashes because your GPU hangs, it does not cause the hang!

Just in case someone else happens to find this post.

I have been experiencing the same thing for the past weeks on a XPS 13 (9350) machine and directly assumed Spotify or the underlying Chromium (libcef.so) is the culprit, but it isn't.

This part in the Code shown in dmesg after the segfault looked odd, 37 13...

<c7> 04 25 00 00 00 00 37 13 00 00

So I disassembled it with x86-64 instructions:

mov DWORD PTR ds:0x0,0x1337

There we go, a quiet "specific" address, lets duckgo.

From the Chromium source code:

void GpuWatchdogThreadImplV1::DeliberatelyTerminateToRecoverFromHang() {
  // <SNIP>

  // Deliberately crash the process to create a crash dump.
  *((volatile int*)0) = 0x1337;

  // <SNIP>
}

This code was removed in version 86. Spotify still uses an older one (84?).

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1940552

So, Chromiums GpuWatchdog crashes Spotify AFTER your GPU freezes. (Which is very misleading. thanks goggle)
