Bug 10245

Will you please attach the output of acpidump?

Please try the patch:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9558#c33
and see if it helps. :)
Please attach the result of "cat /proc/acpi/thermal/*/*" as well.

output of "cat /proc/acpi/thermal/*/*"

sorry in c4 I mean "cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/*" because there is no /proc/acpi/thermal directory

I'll report back the result of testing with the patch from comment #2

with kernel 2.6.25-rc6-git-current + patch from comment #2 I have the same thing:

Mar 18 14:57:55 sysop kernel: ACPI Exception (exoparg2-0442): AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT, Index (0FFFFFFFF) is beyond end of object [20070126]

with kernel 2.6.24.3 + patch from comment #2 I don't have problem until now (run for 1:35 hours)
with kernel from comment #7 critical shutdown had come in about 54 min

customized DSDT

Please try the customized dsdt and attach the full dmesg output after a critical shutdown.

How to use custom dsdt can be found in the 
http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/faq.php

Thanks.

Hi, Mihai
   Will you please confirm whether the system can work well if the lm_sensors is not started?
   Thanks.

I used the information from here: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php (appear to be the same).
I run now kernel 2.6.25-rc6-git-current + patch from comment #2 + custom DSDT build in this kernel and wait the critical shutdown.
In response for comment #11 I confirm that if lm_sensors is not started any kernel work without problems.

dmesg with error for kernel from comment #12

oops,
Mihai, will you please re-do the test again with kernel parameter acpi.debug_level=0x0f please?

I see "Unknown boot option `acpi.debug_level=0x0f': ignoring" when trying that kernel parameter. maybe have to recompile kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y ?

kernel config used in these tests

Hi, Mihai
   It seems that the bug is caused by the conflict between the lm_senors and AML code.
   In the AML code the COA1 method will be called to get the temperature of the sensor. And the following address will be accessed.
   > OperationRegion (C09B, SystemIO, 0x1200, 0x06)
    >            Field (C09B, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)              {
>                    C09C,   8,
                            Offset (0x02),
 >                   C09D,   8, 
  >                  C09E,   8,
                    C09F,   8,
                    C0A0,   8         }
   In fact the above is the I/O access address of the I2C/SMBUS host controller. AML code uses I/O access mode to get the temperature of the sensor.
   
   After the i2c-801 and lm90 drivers are loaed, the /usr/bin/lmsensor will use the sys I/F to access the state of the sensor. And lm90 driver will also access the SMBUS host controller. But unfortunately there is no synchronization between AML code and i2c-801 driver, which will cause that _TZ2._TMP method returns the incorrect temperature or the error message is reported.
   
   
   
    

This seems to be a conflict between lmsensor and ACPI thermal zone.
lmsensor loaded causes the bogus temperature getton by ACPI thermal zone, thus resule in a critical shutdown

So I need a new lm90 driver lmsensor, isn't ?

Please tell us the vendor and model of your system.

Please attach the output of /sbin/lspci -nnv.

Please attach the output of sensors.

We have a PCI quirk that unhides the SMBus on the HP Compaq nx6110:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c0a654e390d00fef9d8faed758f5e1e8078adb5

Your HP Compaq nc6120 has the same PCI ID so the quirk is applied to your system as well. Unfortunately the SMBus is used by ACPI for thermal management on your system, so Linux should not attach a native driver to it. We have to remove the quirk in question. This will make the lm90 driver unusable on your system, but at least you will no longer experience random shutdowns. Patch follows.

[PATCH] PCI: Revert SMBus unhide on HP Compaq nx6110

This reverts commit 3c0a654e390d00fef9d8faed758f5e1e8078adb5.

The HP Compaq nc6120 has the same PCI sub-device ID as the nx6110, and the SMBus is used by ACPI for thermal management on the nc6120, so Linux should not attach a native driver to it. This means that this quirk is unsafe and has to be removed.

I also added a comment to help developers realize that adding new IDs to this SMBus unhiding quirk table should be done only with great care, and in particular only after checking that ACPI is not making use of the SMBus.

Mihai, please try the patch in comment #24. The SMBus should disappear from lspci, and sensors will no longer work, but your shutdown problem should be fixed.

ok, I'll try patch and will come back with the results

Created attachment 15387 [details]
new lspci -nnv

Now I run kernel 2.6.25-rc6 + patch from comment #24. Results are:
- SMBus doesn't appears in output from lspci;
- lm_sensors no longer work;
- critical shutdown doesn't come until now (run for 2:15 h).
So it could be said that the bug is fixed (but lm_sensors become useless in this case). If it happens anything bad I'll come back again.

The lm90 driver wasn't telling you much more than the ACPI thermal zone anyway. You can get the same information with "acpi -t" or by reading /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature. The only drawback is that libsensors is usually very well integrated into applications, while ACPI thermal zones not quite so. This will be addressed in kernel 2.6.26, where ACPI thermal zones will be exported to libsensors.

I will send the patch from comment #24 to the PCI subsystem maintainer (Greg KH) now.

Even after 21:38 hours critical shutdown doesn't appear so the bug is definitely fixed. Thanks for the patch and explications.

Mihai,
Please re-assign the bug to Jean or me so that we can update the bug status properly. :)

In response to comment #29:
I don't have the acpi program (I use Fedora 8); instead I could use acpitool. They have the same functionality ?

(In reply to comment #32)
Yes, "acpitool -t" should work as well.

Hello!

And what about us, poor nx6110 users. I'd like to use smbus, but it looks impossible on latest kernel. Any suggestions?

Well, complain to the laptop manufacturer. They designed it (and its BIOS) in such a way that it is unsafe for any OS to make use of the SMBus. There's nothing we (Linux developers) can do about that.

But anyway, I'm not sure why you insist on using the SMBus on this laptop. ACPI is supposed to handle the thermal management automatically so you shouldn't have to care. What problem are you trying to solve?

If I'm enabling thermal zones in kernel - it shutdowns in 5-6 minutes with `ACPI: Critical Trip Section` in logs (and the laptop itself is _cold_).

Also, all livecds, I have tried, w/ latest kernel can only boot on it w/ acpi=off (the same - temperature is 180C, shutting down).

So thermal zone doesn't work for me. Can you please provide me w/ patch for 2.6.26 which will enable smbus?

Report the problem to the ACPI folks and have them fix it. That's the only sane thing to do. Either that, or complain to the laptop vendor so that they fix their BIOS, if this is a BIOS issue. Have you tried upgrading your BIOS first?

Enabling the SMBus on that laptop will cause more ACPI problems, not less (that's what this bug is all about.) We could enable the SMBus conditionally when acpi=off, I guess, but it would take additional code, and I doubt this is worth the effort, given that this laptop probably can't run well with ACPI completely disabled anyway. Most post-2002 PCs can't run properly without ACPI support.

seems to me that SMBUS mess up with ACPI , and not ACPI fault ...

On my compaq nx6110 I complained , when SMBUS is unhide , I got one huge kernel warning oops, after hibernate the laptop. And I got worst results on hibernation and suspend the laptop. 

Anyway what lm-sensors could give us new ? someone says in this bug report that don't have anything new than what ACPI does , that information is correct ?
