acpidump, iomem,  fwts report

R220 is a relatively new platform. 64-bit OS'es work fine with this box.
Unfortunately our product line is locked to 32-bit and 32 bit OS just
can't boot in this box. Kernel versions I have tried: 3.0.23, 3.10.52,
3.13.0. All recent versions of Debian and CentOS running 2.6.x also
crash the same way. Besides acpi=off, I have tried:
apci_osi=! acpi_osi=Linux
pci=noacpi
Didn't help.

Currently I have installed Ubuntu 14.0.4 desktop in this box. When I 
tried to run acpidump version 20140214, it gave this error:
--------------------------------------------
Cannot open directory - /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic
Could not get ACPI tables, AE_NOT_FOUND
--------------------------------------------

The acpidump attached was collected with acpidump version 20100513-3
when Debian was installed with kernel version 3.10.52. I hope the output
is still valid. Also include output from fwts, in case it may be helpful.

The backtrace captured on serial port:

The folder is not there as ACPI is disabled due to acpi=off.
This isn't a critical error.
As acpidump still can dump some tables from /dev/mem.
Did you obtain the acpidump output?

But IMO, as your report is related to a 32-bit/64-bit compliance issue.
You should boot into a working 64-bit ACPI enabled kernel, and try the acpidump.
Please do this and upload the output.

Its output is confusing.
We cannot distinguish whether the table is customized or not.
Which prevents us from root causing issues.
And there are bugs that tables cannot be dumped.

I can check it later.

64-bit acpidump

Installed Ubuntu 14.0.4 64-bit server and ran:
$ acpidump > acpidump.out

Still working on building a 32-bit kernel to collect debug info.

Tried this command:
 acpidump > /tmp/acpidump.out

It was done on a 32-bit Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 with acpi=off.
The file /tmp/acpidump.out is just an empty file.
Not sure if "dump some tables from /dev/mem" meant I have to use the
"-a" switch to specify table addresses. If it is indeed what you meant,
I would have to use info from the acpidump obtained from 64-bit.
Are the table addresses for 64-bit and 32-bit the same?

debug patch output

Added the following line to osl.c as indicated in bug 79501 attachment 150891 [details]:

printk(KERN_ERR PREFIX "acpi_map: phys=%#018Lx size=%#018Lx virt=%#018Lx\n", pg_off, pg_sz, virt);

Then built and installed the patched kernel and boot the system without
acpi=off option. The printk statement does not show up in the serial terminal,
only 32 lines of header followed by the kernel oops and the backtrace.
May be acpi_os_map_memory() never get invoked?!?

NB: used the kernel option
earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200

Without the earlyprintk option I would only get the backtrace. The 32 lines
of header would not show.

This sounds like a bug in acpidump.
The RSDP value is from EFI (/sys/firmware/efi/systab) not ACPI subsystem.

If you want to try further, it is not "-a", it's "-r" that you can use to specify an RSDP address without using "/sys/firmware/efi/systab".
According to your 64-bit outputs, you can try:
acpidump -r 0x00000000000FE020

It's weired.
The IP is in the acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler().
If acpi_os_map_memory() hasn't been invoked, maybe the bug is in the acpi_ut_short_divide().
Could you add some printk() lines before/after acpi_ut_short_divide() to catch?

It's this ">" marked line:

It seems the mapped logical address triggers a bus error.
It sounds like we've mapped a zapped 64-bit address and is trying to access the wrong mapped logical address.
IMO, you should see acpi_os_map_memory() logs before.
We need to know which mapped physical address has triggered this error.
I'll check later why it is not logged.

Added two printk statements in exregion.c 
acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler() to try to flush out why 
acpi_os_map_memory() not get invoked. See line 196 and 206 in
the attachment.
With this change, the debug print you added in acpi_os_map_memory()
shows up a few times. Unfortunately when the bad address 6241fff4
shows up, none of the printk statements were hit.

added more debug printk

Added more printk statements in acpi_os_map_memory() and
acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler().

When the bad address appeared, the following code in acpi_os_map_memory()
decided mapping already exists:

	/* Check if there's a suitable mapping already. */
	map = acpi_map_lookup(phys, size);
	if (map) {
		map->refcount++;
		goto out;
	}

This was the first and only time acpi_map_lookup() returned non null.
Comment 13 sialnije 2014-12-31 21:48:52 UTC
Seems function acpi_map_lookup() has a math overflow problem in 32-bit builds.
The code is this:
--------------------------------------------
if (map->phys <= phys  &&
    phys + size <= map->phys + map->size)
  return map;
---------------------------------------------

The address that cause the crash: phy=0xFFFFFFF4, size=0xC
0xFFFFFFF4 + 0xc wraps around to zero.

I think this function has to cast the two sums to u64 before compare.

Great! Thanks for the analysis. :)

Then this seems to be the known issue.

In include/acpi/actypes.h:
acpi_physical_address and acpi_size can be u32 for 32-bit builds, they are determined by ACPI_MACHINE_WIDTH.
In include/acpi/platform/aclinux.h:
The ACPI_MACHINE_WIDTH is BITS_PER_LONG.
So on a physically 64-bit system, though it can be configured as 32-bit compliant one, ACPICA simply defines physical addresses as 32-bit.

To fix it, we need to be careful because ACPICA also depends on the ACPI_MACHINE_WIDTH definition to follow Linux LP64 compliant design.
The actypes.h need to be cleaned up. Splitting the Linux LP64 compliant stuff apart from the physical address.

Thanks and best regards

Well. Many issues in the patch description...
Fortunately, it was not used for upstreaming.

It's automatically generated by ACPICA release scripts.
So this is a bug in the script which I haven't noticed previously.
Thanks for pointing it out.

The "ACPICA" is automatically appended by the release script.
I've fixed this in the patch that is used for upstreaming:
https://github.com/zetalog/acpica/commit/26c7d230

"DBG" is our policy, we use it for bugzilla posted patches which might not be the final upstreaming one.
You won't see it in the upstreaming patch.
I was disallowed to post any code here unless it was marked as "DBG".
I'm still in the toughest days of my life.

http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/cannot-password-protect-key-file-in-FIPS-mode-td42975.html

So is it OK to use Reported-and-tested-by: Sial Nije <sialnije@gmail.com>?

The raw output [1] puts spaces to the end of filenames for whatever reason.

Lv, could you please send me the `git format-patch -1` file per email or attach it here as a plain text file. No idea what I am doing wrong but it took too long already.

ACPICA: Utilities: split IO address types from data type

This is the updated patch.
I extracted the github one, applied it on top of linux-pm/linux-next branch, and formatted it out.

I corrected it in attachment 164101 [details].
Could you also help to confirm this patch.

Thanks for your feedback.

Comment 38 Lv Zheng 2015-01-21 06:24:31 UTC
Hi, Paul

It seems the attachment 163751 [details] cannot be a stable material.
So you won't see it merged for Linux 3.16.7.
I split the patches.
Now the whole series is:
 attachment 164031 [details]
 attachment 164041 [details]
 attachment 164051 [details]
 attachment 164061 [details]
 attachment 164071 [details]
 attachment 164081 [details]
-attachment 164091 [details]
 attachment 164101 [details]

They are still for the linux-pm/linux-next branch.

If you want to try the whole series on top of 3.16.7, you can use this series:

 attachment 164031 [details]
 attachment 164041 [details]
 attachment 164051 [details]
 attachment 164061 [details]
 attachment 164071 [details]
 attachment 164081 [details]
+attachment 164111 [details]
*attachment 164101 [details]

I think you can also just try the attachment 164101 [details].
Without the other fixes, Linux 3.16.7 will only complain warnings during compilation, so the rest of them might not be merged for 3.16.7.

Thanks and best regards

Lv, after taking the changes to `actypes.h` out and applying them manually (no idea why it didn’t work) I was able to use `git am` and successfully built Linux 3.16.7, I can confirm that it still works and X starts correctly.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks for the testing.
If I understood correctly, you should be talking about this block:

@@ -518,6 +518,9 @@ typedef u64 acpi_integer;
 #define ACPI_TO_POINTER(i)              ACPI_ADD_PTR (void, (void *) NULL,(acpi_size) i)
 #define ACPI_TO_INTEGER(p)              ACPI_PTR_DIFF (p, (void *) NULL)
 #define ACPI_OFFSET(d, f)               ACPI_PTR_DIFF (&(((d *) 0)->f), (void *) NULL)

+
 #define ACPI_PHYSADDR_TO_PTR(i)         ACPI_TO_POINTER(i)
 #define ACPI_PTR_TO_PHYSADDR(i)         ACPI_TO_INTEGER(i)
 
It doesn't seem to be good for this bug fix series.
But should be included by another patch that renames the macros.
Thus it's also not a stable material.
I'll remove it from this series.
