Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 acpi-4.18-rc7

with top-most commit 73c2a01c52b657f4a0ead6c95f64c5279efbd000

 ACPICA: AML Parser: ignore dispatcher error status during table load

on top of commit d72e90f33aa4709ebecc5005562f52335e106a60

 Linux 4.18-rc6

to receive an ACPI fix for 4.18-rc7.

This fixes a recent ACPICA regression causing the AML parser to get
confused and fail in some situations involving incorrect AML in an
ACPI table (Erik Schmauss).

Thanks!

My XPS13 laptop is unhappy with something recent.

As of yesterday, I get this at bootup:

It does *not* happen in

    Linux version 4.18.0-rc6-00110-g6e77b267723c

but it *does* happen in

    Linux version 4.18.0-rc6-00152-gcd3f77d74ac3

and while I didn't bisect it, I'm assuming it's due to 73c2a01c52b6
("ACPICA: AML Parser: ignore dispatcher error status during table
load")

Ideas?

Note only the errors are new. On older kernels, I just get:

  ACPI: Added _OSI(Module Device)
  ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Device)
  ACPI: Added _OSI(3.0 _SCP Extensions)
  ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Aggregator Device)
  ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux-Dell-Video)
  ACPI: 9 ACPI AML tables successfully acquired and loaded

without the big slew of errors.

Sorry about the breakage. I found the cause this failure and I'm working on a fix right now.

Hi,

The patch below should be able to fix this.


From a828a091828599154d8f6e8bfee1495a3df5cf34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Erik Schmauss <erik.schmauss@intel.com>
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 15:37:35 -0700
From: Erik Schmauss <erik.schmauss@intel.com>
Subject: [PATCH 1] ACPICA: AML Parser: ignore control method status in module-level code

Previous change in the AML parser code blindly set all non-successful
dispatcher statuses to AE_OK. This approach is incorrect because
successful control method invocations from module-level return
AE_CTRL_TRANSFER. Overwriting AE_OK to this status causes the AML
parser to think that there was no return value from the control
method invocation.

Yes, the error messages seem gone with this.

I see another ACPI warning, but that one has always been there:

  acpi INT33D5:00: intel-hid: created platform device
  ACPI Warning: \_SB.IETM._ART: Return Package type mismatch at index
0 - found Integer, expected Reference (20180531/nspredef-263)
  ACPI: Invalid package element [0]: got number, expecting [R]
  _ART package 0 is invalid, ignored

and doesn't seem to cause any problems. Just mentioning it in case
somebody goes "yeah.."

_ART is the AML method for "Active Cooling Relationship Table".
iIt tells the system how fans are related to temperature sensors.

It is likely that Windows uses DPTF on this platform, and since DPTF
is not using _ART, Linux may be pointing out a vestigial _ART.

Anyway, if your system doesn't handle being hot very well -- this error
message is related to that capability.

cheers,

Faced the same on my Dell Vostro 3360 with v4.17.11 update, and 
confirming that this patch fixes the issue for me too.

Thus,

Tested-by: Oleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@natalenko.name>

Also, please Cc Greg once you do a submission, so v4.17 stable branch 
will be fixed too.

Thanks.
