Lv,
Can you please take a look at this? Thanks.

I also posted a message on linux-acpi: https://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=143946499520914&w=2 , and ready to help solve the problem.

If you mean this:

OK. I'll check to see what's happening there.

Thanks and best regards

Yes, I mean this.

This is definitely the known ECDT bug.
Linux support of ECDT is completely wrong since Alexey starts to introduce quirks to pre-load DSDT EC in case of ECDT is incorrect or doesn't exist.
This is one of the examples that Linux actually doesn't support ACPI 2.0 features.

Thanks and best regards

In order to understand this correctly, I tracked back the ec.c commit log to learn what's happening there for so many ECDT quirks.

It looks like that:
After ACPI 2.0 where ECDT is introduced, the BIOSes that contain the ECDT will make the named object's value that originally is flagged in EC._REG() flagged very early (either default is flagged or flagged in _SB._INI) in order to have all _INI control methods invoked with EC operation region accessibility. This is one of the key ACPI 2.0 features.
And this implies that, after ACPI 2.0, before executing all _INI control methods (after ACPI 2.0, there are module level AML), BIOSes has already a deal with OSPMs in the spec that there shouldn't be any control methods executed before _SB._INI. Which means: for EC, in order to support ECDT in early stage, when ECDT is probed, it:
1. Shouldn't handle SCI_EVT in order not to execute any _Qxx;
2. Shouldn't invoke _REG but should still make the region handler ready;
3. Shouldn't visit any namespace objects (either _GPE/_CRS) or the EC device itself since it shouldn't think the namespace is ready at this point.
Thus BTW, the GPE information and EC device path information in ECDT actually is useless for ECDT support.

As a conclusion, many of the above commits are wrong, the root cause should be: _REG shouldn't be executed during early stage while the fixes walked into the dead end by visitting more namespace objects.
I'll provide a fix later for you to test.

For this bug, there are 2 issues:

1. The error occurs before moudule level execution, which should be from acpi_ec_ecdt_probe(). In acpi_ec_ecdt_probe, if there is no ECDT found on the platform, the namespace EC shouldn't be used. This can prevent the error log from being dumped.
2. The error may still occur when the _REG method is invoked during the late stage. And we need to check what would be the effect if the first had been fixed.

Thanks and best regards
-Lv

In order to fix the first issue, we need:

1. Add an param to acpi_install_address_space_handlers, indicating early stage and skip _REG execution for early stage.
2. In Linux ec driver, restore the code to invoke ec_remove_handlers() for ECDT and invoke ec_install_handlers() again for the DSDT EC.
3. Maybe we need also tune ACPICA region handler installation code, stop attaching the handler object to the region object, but in the region access code, find the region handler object from its parent nodes. We may not do this right now, currently, ACPICA table loading is split into 2 stages and namespace objects are ready because of acpi_load_tables() invoked earlier than acpi_ec_ecdt_probe().

I'm going to try 1 and 2, and post the fix here.

Thanks and best regards

dmesg on MSI-GS40-6qe, kernel 4.6-rc1 ACPI errors

Hello,

I have some ACPI errors on a MSI laptop.
It looks like the same error described here, so I didn't opened another ticket.
Tell me if I should.

Also, CPU fan and discrete graphic fan aren't detected by sensors-detect. Is it linked ?

best regards,

sdavid.

Most of the patches are upstreamed to linux-pm.git/bleeding-edge.
While 4 remained patches are not.
Please wait a bit longer.
I'll ping the maintainer.

Thanks
-Lv

Or you can help to confirm.
Please
1. clone the following git:
   # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git
2. Check out the bleeding-edge branch.
   # git checkout bleeding-edge
3. apply the following 4 patches:
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656631/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656681/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656691/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656671/
4. re-build and boot the kernel to see if the error messages are still there.
5. also upload the dmesg output after booting if the error persists.

Thanks in advance

dmesg on MSI-GS40-6qe, kernel 4.6-rc2 + patch ACPI errors

Hello,

I compiled the bleeding-edge branche from linux-pm.git with the 4 patches you've linked and here's the dmesg I obtain after a reboot on the kernel.

BTW, I still don't have any fan detected on my system.

I can do more tests if you have patch asides.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

sdavid.

I can test that in the weekend.

I can't find the errors you reported in sdavid's test.
Possibly the issue has been fixed.
But we need the original reporter's confirmation.

I cannot find the errors in it now.

It seems the ACPI table tries to access EC operation region inside of _REG.

This should happen in EC probing or EC probing.
Before applying the patches, it can happen in ECDT EC probing.
But after applying the patches, it can only happen in DSDT EC probing.

According to my experiences, this happes in acpi_processor_set_pdc().

[    0.362300] ACPI: Interpreter enabled

Note that DSDT EC probing happens after this line.

So the test result is so strange to me.
Because after applying the patches, ECDT EC probing should happen before acpi_load_tables() not after it.
And after applying the patches, ECDT EC probing won't execute \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0._REG because before acpi_load_tables(), no _REG will be allowed to be executed. In fact, no control methods are allowed to be executed.

So I cannot understand your test result.
Could you confirm it again.
Maybe you upload wrong dmesg output.
If the error happens for DSDT EC probing, I may believe that we still need fixes.
But applying the patches should have fixed the errors that happen in ECDT EC probing.

I'll also add a debug patch later for you to capature the stack from the error line.

Hi,

It seems we have this issue already debugged.

I can root cause the issue from the old dmesgs.

1. ACPICA code to trigger this:

According to attachment 191061 [details], the error is triggered when ACPICA initialize operation regions from acpi_ev_initialize_op_regions() invoked in acpi_initialize_objects():

                ^^^GFX0.GLID (KLID, DPTN (One))

By executing this line, EC accesses will be resulted.
Note that this line if out of "If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03))" check.
So it will be executed for the following invocations:
\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0._REG(SystemMemory, One)
\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0._REG(SystemIo, One)
            }

3. Why this is wrong:
According to spec, we actually needn't execute _REG(SystemMemory, One) or _REG(SystemIo, One).
According to my investigation using Windows, no such invocations can be seen from running a Windows on top of qemu.
So it seems that we should eliminate such wrong invocations.
This is a part of the order issue.

Let me post another fix for you to test on top of the others.

dmesg for the patches from comment #27 and #37

Nothing new

Sorry, the patch is wrong.
I introduced a new flag, but forgot to use it from Linux side.
I'm away from my linux laptop, so could you help to:

1. applying the patches.
2. modifying the following line in drivers/acpi/bus.c from:
       status = acpi_initialize_objects(ACPI_FULL_INITIALIZATION);
   to:
       status = acpi_initialize_objects(ACPI_NO_SYSTEM_SPACES_INIT);
And try again.

Sorry for the mistake.

dmesg for comment #39

Better. Two errors are eliminated.

Thanks for the test!

This is the last one:
[    0.390782] ACPI Error: No handler for Region [RAM_] (ffff8801593d32d0) [EmbeddedControl] (20160318/evregion-192)
[    0.390792] ACPI Error: Region EmbeddedControl (ID=3) has no handler (20160318/exfldio-299)

It doesn't seem to be related to the intialization order issues.

Thus we haven't done any debugging or fixing against this error entry.
Let me consider what's happening there.
If I cannot figure it out, I may ask you to test again with a new debugging patch.

[PATCH] ACPICA: Events: Add a new initialization flag to bypass system_memory/system_io operation region initialization

I updated attachment 212341 [details] in order to complete it for our bug fix.
Then I noticed issues in it when I unit tested it.
Please confirm the fix again and upload the boot log using this new patch.

The following patches have been accepted by an upstream repo:
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656631/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656681/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656691/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656671/

So you can use the updated following repo without the need to apply the above 4 patches:
   # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git
   # git checkout bleeding-edge

Thanks and best regards

I think I now know the cause of the last issue. Let me summerize.

I noticed 3 issues from this bug report:
1. ECDT support was wrong
   This has been fixed by the following patches and they are now in linux-pm.git.
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656631/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656681/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656691/
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8656671/
2. _REG shouldn't be executed for SystemMemory/SystemIo
   This has been fixed by attachment 212581 [details].
   Though I've worked it around in ACPICA, TBH, this is in fact a Linux ACPI specific issue.
   Linux shouldn't invoke device enumeration stuffs implemented in ACPICA.
   Invoking ACPICA device enumeration can mess up BIOS expected initialization order.
   Linux should evaluate _STA/_REG/_CBA/_INI in the device enumeration process itself (acpi_bus_scan()).
   This can also help to eliminate number of namespace walks and tune the boot sequence faster.
3. EC driver enumeration order was wrong
   For the last error, it looks to me like:
   Linux should have EC address space handler ready before performing ACPI bus scan.
   Since this is a Linux ACPI specific issue rather than an ACPICA issue, and I'm not the right person to fix any ACPI enumeration bug, I wonder if anyone owning that will be intrested in solving this issue.
   While I have more urgent ACPICA stuffs pending.
   Thus let's wait a while to see if there's anyone going to fix the last issue for us.

Thanks and best regards

Good!
Let me wait a while to see if anyone from my team is interested in fixing the 3rd bug.

Thanks and best regards
-Lv

If BIOS wants EC accesses in the device enumeration process, it should provide ECDT.
While for this case, _PSW doesn't seem to be a control method that will be executed during device enumeration.
So this still looks like a bug in Linux ACPI.

Thanks
-Lv

I saw _PSW was invoked from drivers/acpi/scan.c in acpi_bus_get_wakeup_device_flags().
So making a proper fix requires more information than the ACPI specification can give us.

We need to probe windows behavior to see how this is invoked by the de-facto standard implementation:
1. Whether _PSW is invoked from the same namespace walk or from the different namespace walk than _INI.
2. Whether EC._REG is invoked before _PSW or invoked after _PSW.

Thanks
-Lv

Can you confirm if the last issue can be fixed by attachment 218601 [details].

You needn't worry about this.
This is just because, the attachment 212521 [details] hasn't been upstreamed.
I probed windows behavior for this patch, and it probably should be re-worked.

For now, you can apply both attachment 212521 [details] and attachment 218601 [details] for your test.

Thanks
-Lv

I think you can:
1. clone rafael/linux-pm.git, checkout linux-next.
2. apply the attachment 212581 [details] and the attachment 218601 [details].
3. try again.

If you can still see errors.
Please boot the kernel with (need CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y):
acpi.trace_state=method acpi.trace_method_name=_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0._REG
And upload the log here.

dmesg for comment #52 with debug

Hi Lv,

Seems that 4.7.0-rc4 has been applied lv-ec1.patch.

Have two errors, run with the specified debug directive, dmesg is attached.

Thanks for the test.
This looks like a new order issue.

When \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0._REG(EmbeddedControl, DISCONNECT) is executed, ACPICA has already removed the EmbeddedControl's operation region handler:
1. remove handler
2. execute _REG

The correct order should be:
1. execute _REG
2. remove handler

I'll work out a fix for this.

Hi Lv,

I tested today with linux-pm.git bleeding-edge branch. The patch from comment #56 already was applied. I had errors without patch from attachment #212581 [details] and did not have errors with that patch.

Closing...
I'll keep my eyes on a refined version of attachment 212581 [details] in ACPICA upstream.

Thanks

Filed an ACPICA bug to track the last patch:
http://bugs.acpica.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1339

I'll close this bug.
