Not exactly sure what's going on here. All the functions here look normal; I guess I should look at the diffs to see what changed...

[waddlesplash]

Can you retry with x86_gcc4 (hybrid OK, if you want), and see if the same thing happens? Thanks.

[jua]

Same here, since upgrading it crashes with same KDL as above during boot.

I propose we revert the recent ACPI code update and go back to the version previously used (which is, as pointed out by korli, also the one used by FreeBSD).

Hi,

A shame we have trouble with this version :-/ Anyhow, if we revert to the previous version, I would strongly suggest adding one patch to it being:

​https://github.com/acpica/acpica/commit/a3267967c8bd3938e9aa98e8a267315cd609c477#diff-6c6887495e1022722758f5a9104b668d

This patch fixes ACPI not working on older systems (i.e. my laptop.. :-)

Bye!

I have the same kdl booting hrev49950 in x86_64 and x86_gcc2.

Replying to waddlesplash:

I tried with hrev49948 x86_gcc4 hybrid and got a very similar kdl at boot.

[waddlesplash]

Can you upload a syslog from a successful boot (on an earlier rev)? Thanks.

syslog successful boot of hrev49944 x86_gcc4 hybrid

I did that before seeing your edit.

[waddlesplash]

Can you try again with hrev49953 or later?

hrev49956 - KDL booting

A friend of mine who knows more about assembly than I do actually spent some time looking at this. Here's what he sent me:

Here is what I discovered to be true, looking at the backtrace and the disassembly:

1. In AcpiNsBuildNormalizedPath() %esi is used for the variable NextNode.

2. In the stack trace %esi=0x656d5f6c looks suspiciously like it is a pointer loaded after a buffer overrun. The ascii would be 'l_me'

3. It is unlikely that the parameter, Node, is bad, because the caller used a handle validate routine.

4. When walking the tree, NextNode is loaded from each .Parent in turn. This means that one of the .Parents is bad.

5. %edi is used for the variable Length. At the time of the stack trace, it is 0xa. I think that means that it walked up at least two nodes before it hit the bad one.

6. Inserting a little debugging code right there might help provide a clue to track down the problem. if (NextNode==0x656d5f6c), then you want to dump what is at FullPath so far, and then panic. Better yet, start at Node, and walk forward, dumping each block [Node,sizeof(*Node)].

Reverted in hrev49963.

This was a bug in ACPICA, I could reproduce the problem on my laptop with a tree from before it was reverted. ACPICA has since released a bug fixed version, and upgrading to that version made it go away:

Fixed a regression introduced in version 20151218 concerning the 
execution of so-called module-level ASL/AML code. Namespace objects 
created under a module-level If() construct were not properly/fully 
entered into the namespace and could cause an interpreter fault when 
accessed.

So do you want to re-revert? :) Your changes looks good, just got unlucky (and maybe wait a month or two after a release is out next time).
