Description Bruce Chiarelli 2014-04-12 22:52:18 UTC
Between 3.13 and 3.14, a change was made that made the kernel refuse to boot. I was able to see the tail end of a backtrace using earlyprintk=vga,keep, but it freezes hard and I can't scroll back or save it anywhere.

Using git-bisect, the first revision that fails is 671cc68dc61f029d44b43a681356078e02d8dab8.

Comment 7 Lv Zheng 2014-04-14 05:42:54 UTC
Could you offer acpidump output on a bootable kernel?
Thanks in advance.
Comment 8 Lv Zheng 2014-04-14 06:00:58 UTC
Hi,

You should achieve both RSDP/XSDT for us to examine.

Please download the acpica package from acpica.org and build acpixtract/acpidump/iasl.

Please use the following commands:
# sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt
# acpixtract -a ./acpidump.txt
# sudo iasl -d rsdp.dat
# sudo acpidump -a <RSDT Address> > my_rsdt.dat
# sudo acpidump -a <XSDT Address> > my_xsdt.dat

Note, you can obtain "RSDT Address/XSDT Address" in the decoding result of rsdp.dat, it should be rsdp.dsl.
For example, if there are following entries in rsdp.dsl:

...
[010h 0016     1]        RSDT Address: CAC25028
...
[018h 0024     1]        XSDT Address: 00000000CAC25078
...

You should:
# sudo acpidump -a 0xCAC25028 > my_rsdt.dat
# sudo acpidump -a 0xCAC25078 > my_xsdt.dat

Please upload acpidump.txt, my_rsdt.dat and my_xsdt.dat here.

Thanks in advance.

*** Bug 74131 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 10 Lv Zheng 2014-04-16 02:00:50 UTC
The back port makes an assumption that there is no RSDT/XSDT can contain zero entry (it should contain FADT).
This is not included in the original code, let me post a patch to revert this logic.

And the original Linux commit has issues, it doesn't pass by XSDT for the following cases:
1. The address of the XSDT cannot be mapped.
2. The "Length" field of the XSDT is wrong.
Let me also post a patch to restore this wrong code.

I'll ask you to test after that.

We still need the XSDT/RSDT to find the root cause.
So please follow comment 8 to provide informations for us.

Comment 15 Bruce Chiarelli 2014-04-16 08:02:16 UTC
Neither of the patches fix the problem for me, nor do they work together.
Comment 16 Spyros Stathopoulos 2014-04-16 09:42:30 UTC
Same situation with above. Stock acpidump produces the same error, probably because kernel was not built with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS. acpidump from the kernel tree works and everything is pretty much the same as with what Bruce described (Gigabyte B85-HD3). I can upload my acpidump as well, if required.

Neither patches work, standalone or together. Kernel panics and the tail of the call trace is:

Hi,

(In reply to Spyros Stathopoulos from comment #16)
> Same situation with above. Stock acpidump

What does stock acpidump mean?  This sounds strange.
Do you mean the acpica package downloaded from this URL:
https://acpica.org/downloads
It includes the newest acpidump that can achieve what I said.
You should be able to obtain RSDT/XSDT using the acpidump included in this package.

> produces the same error,
> probably because kernel was not built with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS.

Or possibly the same reason as the panic.
See my replies below.

There are 2 possible ways for acpidump to dump tables:
1. From /sys/firmware/acpi/tables, this only requires CONFIG_ACPI
   Command line "acpidump -c" will act in this way.
2. From /dev/mem, no CONFIG_ACPI is required.
   Command line "acpidump" will act in this way.
   However, it might dump dynamic tables from /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic.
   I don't know if this is the cause of the error.
   In this mode, acpidump will determine whether RSDT or XSDT should be used.
   So it faces the same problem as the kernel:
   If XSDT address was bad, acpidump would fail.

So no CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS is required.

It might be helpless, but please upload the acpidump first.
We may also need RSDP information to check the alignment of the addresses.
The RSDP can only be dumped using recent acpica.org acpidump.

> Neither patches work, standalone or together.

The 2 patches should have restored all original code.
The result possibly means a good thing - the commit itsself might be correct.
Problem might be caused by the platform.

"RIP acpi_tb_parse_root_table+0x120/0x2d2" looks useful.
This belongs to acpi_tb_validate_xsdt.
I found this corresponds to "table->length".
It sounds like an unalignment issue or the XSDT address is not valid.
You could upload drivers/acpi/acpica/tbutils.o here, it helps.

I start to think that some ACPICA commits updated kernel RSDT force mechanism, but didn't correctly update the kernel quirks.
Let me check.
Comment 18 Lv Zheng 2014-04-17 04:14:59 UTC
Hi,

Please check if booting kernel with "acpi=rsdt" can fix this issue.
If it can, please upload dmidecode for the platforms that suffer from this issue here.

Thanks in advance.

This seems to be the output of acpica.org acpidump.
This failure means:
There are NULL entries in XSDT.

Comment 24 Lv Zheng 2014-04-17 07:11:50 UTC
Here are the test requests:

It's better we can have acpidump fixed, it will be upstreamed to Linux kernel next month.  So please:
1. Download acpica package;
2. Apply attachment 132541 [details] and attachment 132551 [details] on top of recent acpica;
3. Build acpidump and try the following commands:
   # sudo acpidump -x > acpidump1.txt
   # sudo acpidump -x -x > acpidump2.txt
   # sudo acpidump -a 0xBA1AB028 > rsdt.txt
   # sudo acpidump -a 0xBA1AB078 > xsdt.txt
4. Please report back if any of these commands failed.
5. Upload acpidump1.txt here, or if the command failed to generate acpidump1.txt, upload (rsdt.txt and xsdt.txt) here.

And we should use quirk instead of using XSDT validation.
I tried to implement the quirk mechanism.  So please:
1. Apply attachment 132561 [details] on top of recent linux;
2. Modify linux-acpica/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c, you should change B85-HD3 to Z87X-UD5H
3. Build and boot the kernel without acpi=rsdt specified.
4. Post dmesg here.  If it failed, please help me to debug and complete the patch, it should be easy.

I think we should have a correct matching rule for such platforms, possibly using the BIOS version:
	Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
	Version: F3
I'm not sure, I need your feed back.

Thanks in advance.

dmesg output after applying 132561

It boots using this patch. 

Also, I get the same results when I change the quirk in boot.c to this:

    //  DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd."),
    //	DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "Z87X-UD5H"),
    DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR, "American Megatrends Inc." ),
    DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VERSION, "F3"),

I think this will probably catch more cases, but it's hard to say which bios version introduced the problem; at least versions F3 and F2 are affected. From the discussion on the ArchLinux bug report, the  firmware was apparently fixed somewhere between versions F4 and F6: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39811 . It is reported there that flashing one of the affected motherboards to F6 fixes the problem.

Thanks for the tests, I'll use this to compose the fix patch:

According to the link you provided. :-)

The bug has been resolved.
I'll continue to look at the XSDT validation code using the XSDT you've provided.
So let me open it for a while so that if I can reproduce it I can find people here to test.

Thanks and best regards

This is expected, I believe this indicates the same reason as why kernel has failed to boot.

It seems only one null entry in it.
I'm curious that if acpidump -a 0xBA1B6D60 can dump the Dsdt.
If it can we should delete the xsdt validation code, but skip null entries during table installation.
Could you give it a try?

Could you give attachment 132701 [details] a try?

1. Apply it on top of recent Linux (may require rebase work)
2. Build the kernel
3. Boot the kernel without acpi=rsdt

If we can dump DSDT by acpidump -a "the first entry in XSDT", the XSDT validation code in fact should be deleted.

I also need tests for new acpidump.

Please:

1. Download acpica package;
2. Apply attachment 132541 [details], attachment 132681 [details], attachment 132691 [details] on top of recent acpica;
3. Build acpidump and try the following commands:

There was only one entry is xsdt.txt with address 0xBA5ED078. Running again acpidump with the same address gave me again the contents of xsdt.txt. So fadt would be the same as xsdt. Could I be misunderstanding something?

2. ACPI Table Address 0: They point to different table address, should both be a FADT table.
acpidump1.txt contains the FADT in XSDT (the default behavior, RSDT is not forced):

So no need to do any acpidump test.

It seems both modes work!  What we need to do is ignoring the NULL entry.
The solution is implemented in patch - attachment 132691 [details].
This should be better than the quirk solution.
Comment 53 Lv Zheng 2014-04-17 17:48:59 UTC
Here is the test request for my new solution, this is not a quirk solution.

1. Apply attachment 132731 [details] on top of v3.14 Linux;
2. Build the kernel;
3. Boot the kernel without acpi=rsdt;
4. Post the dmesg here.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 56 Lv Zheng 2014-04-17 18:12:53 UTC
I noticed that possibly the better quirk should be checking if XSDT is compiled by an AMI compiler...
[01Ch 0028   4]              Asl Compiler ID : "AMI "
Such XSDT seems to be generated by AMI compiler not MSFT.

Anyway, if comment 53 works, we really don't need any quirk.

Hi, Bruce Chiarelli

Another request from my team:

I didn't reproduce the issue in my environment using the XSDT provided by you.
The invocation of acpi_tb_validate_xsdt using your XSDT returned AE_NULL_ENTRY and RSDT was selected after that.

So could you please offer the driver/acpi/acpica/tbutils.o that is corresponding to this panic log:

This might be useful to find potential another issues that are exposed by the bisected commit.

That panic message was what Spyros Stathopoulos had reported; what I see is a bit different (I didn't have anything to capture it, so I typed this on another computer by sight. Beware.):

Thanks for the information.
The cause of the crash is a pointer referencing after unmapping...

Let me post the fix.

[PATCH] ACPICA: Tables: Fix a bad pointer issue in acpi_tb_parse_root_table().

This could fix the crash issue.
However patch 132731 is still useful to improve ACPI according to the investigation result.

Here is the test request for the fix of the root cause.

1. Apply attachment 132891 [details] on top of v3.14 Linux;
2. Build the kernel;
3. Boot the kernel without acpi=rsdt;

Comment 68 Lv Zheng 2014-04-19 09:56:36 UTC
Hi,

All required patches are upstreamed to acpica/master branch:
https://github.com/acpica/acpica/commit/e32ea55

It includes:
1. attachment 132891 [details] - this should appear in 3.14 as stable material.
2. attachment 132681 [details]
3. attachment 132691 [details] - same as attachment 132731 [details], split into 2, so that if other platforms complained regression, we can go back to old solution.

Sorry for the mistake I made in the bisected commit and thanks for the information of "AMI F2-F4" platforms reported here, it really improves acpica and Linux.

I'm going to close this bug.
Comment 69 Josh Boyer 2014-04-25 12:17:55 UTC
Did attachment 132891 [details] ever get sent upstream to Linus?  It seems nothing for this issue is queued for 3.14.y or in Linus' tree.

Hi,

It is under processing.
This patch will be merged by Linux upstream kernels with stable tagged during ACPICA 201404 release process.  The release is going to happen this or next week.

Thanks and best regards
