Could you do a bisect between 3.8.13 and 3.9.0 to find which commit cause this regression?

Please provide the output of acpidump.

I will try to do the bisect. Can you confirm that a "bisect" is the process described in "http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect" ?

Yes. That should work.
BTW, could you provide more panic log? There maybe  more clues to find the cause.

When the panic occurs, i can not scroll and i found nothing in the log. I wrote down the text but if you have a solution to see the beginning of the text, I can send more log.

ACPI / PM: Fix acpi_bus_get_device() check in drivers/acpi/device_pm.c

commit b3785492268f9f3cdaa9722facb84b266dcf8bf6
Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

    ACPI / PM: Do not power manage devices in unknown initial states
    
    In general, for ACPI device power management to work, the initial
    power states of devices must be known (otherwise, we wouldn't be able
    to keep track of power resources, for example).  Hence, if it is
    impossible to determine the initial ACPI power states of some
    devices, they can't be regarded as power-manageable using ACPI.
    
    For this reason, modify acpi_bus_get_power_flags() to clear the
    power_manageable flag if acpi_bus_init_power() fails and add some
    extra fallback code to acpi_bus_init_power() to cover broken
    BIOSes that provide _PS0/_PS3 without _PSC for some devices.
    
    Verified to work on my HP nx6325 that has this problem.

This patch is to produce a log of printing the device path at the panic place
and then sleep 10s to ensure you can get the log before panic.

DSDT.hex

Pleae override the DSDT table with attachment and try again.

cd (kernel source)
cp DSDT.hex include/
make menuconfig

Make the following change.
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE="DSDT.hex"
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT=y

Compile and install kernel.

BTW, is there new bios for this machine to upgrade?

I can boot without problem with the custom DSDT file.

There is a new bios but toshiba gives only an executable without any readme. I can try to update the bios if you think it is usefull.

Ok. Please try.

I found there is a Bios problem. PCI0's _PS0 and _PS3 call SPS0/SPS3() but SPS0/SPS3() are not  actually defined in any ACPI tables. My DSDT table is to remove the code of calling SPS0/SPS3(). Why this issue doesn't happen before commit b3785492 is that PCI0's _PS0 was never called.

I had the same panic with the updated bios v6.30.

I had contacted TOSHIBA but they do not seem to care.

When I wait for a proper solution what is the best solution:
  -compile the kernel with the custom DSDT table or
  -compile the kernel with the patch of comment 18.

Thank for your help.

Please provide the new acpidump.

debug.patch

Hi, Please try this debug patch. This is also not final solution. Currently, I can set the SPS0/SPS1() method in the SSDT2/SSDT7.(Sorry, previously my iasl version was a little old and can't translate the SSDT tables on this macine.) I found the SPS0/SPS1() will access SMI io port. This is suspicious. So this debug.patch is to prevent from accessing SMI io port.

ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC during initialization

I suppose you'll be able to boot with this patch too, then.  Can you please try it?

The warning message is from the ACPI core that doesn't like the XSDT table in your system and uses the RSDT one instead.  In indicates a BIOS bug.

You were right. I can boot without any problem with the patch from the comment #34.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Thanks for the fix, much appreciated.

Is the next 3.9.x kernel targeted?

Yes, it should be picked up by the -stable team after it's been merged into the mainline.

Fixed by commit a086bdf (ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC during initialization).

I need to reopen this bug, because it turns out that commit a086bdf leads to a regression in 3.9.

Moreover, the Tianyu's analysis of the problem turns out to be incorrect and I should have double checked it.

(In reply to comment #41)

Well, it is correct.  However, the BIOS bug may trigger a bug in the kernel causes the original crash to happen.

Well, I'm taking this back, please don't try this patch. :-)

We'll address the regression introduced by commit a086bdf in a way that's unrelated to this report.

So again: fixed by commit a086bdf (ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without _PSC during initialization).

Well, sorry about that, but thanks for the information. :-)

It pretty much confirms what I thought would happen: things break left and right.
