[PATCH] ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Failure to find \_Sx should not result in a loud warning

[PATCH] ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Failure to find \_Sx should not result in a loud warning

[Prarit Bhargava]

48ffb94 ("ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Allow \_Sx to return either 1 or 2
integers") changed the error handling in AcpiGetSleepTypeData such that

ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S1_] (20130517/hwxface-571)

is displayed on systems not implementing individual ACPI \_Sx sleep states.
Since these states are optional the loud warning is incorrect.  This patch
changes the kernel to the older behaviour of not warning on a missing \_Sx.

Before patch:

[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]# dmesg | grep "While evaluating Sleep State"
 ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S1_] (20130517/hwxface-571)
 ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S2_] (20130517/hwxface-571)
 ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S3_] (20130517/hwxface-571)
[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]#

After patch:

[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]# dmesg | grep "While evaluating Sleep State"
[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]#

Fixes: 48ffb94 ("ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Allow \_Sx to return either 1 or 2 integers")

I seem to remember that this came up a long time ago.

FWIW, a google search on these warnings yields tonnes of comments about them,
but with no resolution AFAICT.

RE: [PATCH] ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Failure to find \_Sx should not result in a loud warning

[Moore, Robert]

It would be easy to remove (or partially remove) the warning. Hopefully the calling code will handle AE_NOT_FOUND correctly.

In the specific case of the \_Sx sleep states the code does handle the
AE_NOT_FOUND correctly.  The issue is solely the warning being displayed when
there should be no warning.

P.

RE: [PATCH] ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Failure to find \_Sx should not result in a loud warning

[Moore, Robert]

I'm thinking that AE_NOT_FOUND should not generate a warning, but any other exception should.

48ffb94 ("ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Allow \_Sx to return either 1 or 2
integers") changed the error handling in AcpiGetSleepTypeData such that

ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S1_] (20130517/hwxface-571)

is displayed on systems not implementing individual ACPI \_Sx sleep states.
Since these states are optional the loud warning is incorrect.  This patch
changes the kernel to the older behaviour of not warning on a not found \_Sx.

Before patch:

[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]# dmesg | grep "While evaluating Sleep State"
 ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S1_] (20130517/hwxface-571)
 ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S2_] (20130517/hwxface-571)
 ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, While evaluating Sleep State [\_S3_] (20130517/hwxface-571)
[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]#

After patch:

[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]# dmesg | grep "While evaluating Sleep State"
[root@dell-pem520-03 ~]#

v2: Suggested by Robert Moore: Do not warn on AE_NOT_FOUND, otherwise warn loudly

Thanks Bob.  If you could let me know when this lands in github(?) that would be
great.  I'll reference it in the backport upstream.

RE: [PATCH] ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Failure to find \_Sx should not result in a loud warning [v2]

[Zheng, Lv]

Why don't you fix this in the invoker side?
For example:
If (acpi_get_handle())
	acpi_evaluate_object()
So that the AE_NOT_FOUND warning can still be kept for the real troubles?
There are really scenarios that such warning is useful for catching bugs.

Thanks and best regards

Re: [Devel] [PATCH] ACPICA: AcpiGetSleepTypeData: Failure to find \_Sx should not result in a loud warning [v2]

[Zheng, Lv]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5414 bytes --]

Why don't you fix this in the invoker side?
For example:
If (acpi_get_handle())
	acpi_evaluate_object()
So that the AE_NOT_FOUND warning can still be kept for the real troubles?
There are really scenarios that such warning is useful for catching bugs.

Thanks and best regards

That seems like a sloppy workaround an actual bug in ACPICA.

What scenario is possible where this causes a problem?  Issuing an error on
something that is optional is not a good idea.

I have no issues with the original solution. We don't warn on other ACPI_NOT_FOUND exceptions.

So let me ignore this which is a reply for a useless question.

There are several scenarios, let me say some known stuffs about the module level code support.
In AML grammar, module level code (non-object-definition AML opcodes outside of a control method) is legal.
While it is supported in ACPICA in a split way:
1. In the early stage, table loading code only executes those object definition opcodes and links all "if/else/while" AML fragments together.
2. In the late stage, object initialization code will execute such AML fragments before invoking all _INI methods.

1. Since code is not executed in the Windows compliant order during the early table loading stage, some objects are not defined while they should.
2. Even worse, during the early stage, ACPICA may fail the whole table loading process due to AE_NOT_FOUND, leaving us partial initialized objects (the ACPICA AML interpreter implements 2 phases to parse a table to complete the table loading).
Such issue is worked around by deleting the namespace objects created during the early stage if an exception (AE_NOT_FOUND) is encountered.

So you can see, such kind of error is sometime useful for catching AML interpreter issues or BIOS bugs.

I'm a bit confused. What does the execution of the _Sx methods have to do with module-level code? Obviously, many times the _Sx objects are implemented as simply named objects, but the table load doesn't care what is and what isn't present.
