Message-ID: <55006F6E.5050308@odi.ch> Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:38:06 +0100 From: Ortwin Glück <odi@....ch> To: "dri-devel@...ts.freedesktop.org" <dri-devel@...ts.freedesktop.org>, Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@...hat.com>, "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [RESEND] nouveau regression 3.19: unable to load BIOS from ACPI Hi Ben, Since 3.19 the NV BIOS can no longer be loaded via ACPI. This breaks my HP laptop. Looking at the recent changes (ad4a3626 split out shadow methods) in the bios shadow code, I think this happens: - nvbios_shadow loops over all possible bios sources - shadow_method - shadow_score - shadow_image tries to validate the image contents *before* loading it via ACPI calls - nvbios_imagen calls nv_ro16 on the bios object which tries to read 16 bytes directly from memory. Before the change, the code was: - mthd->shadow(bios); - which for ACPI calls nouveau_bios_shadow_acpi which doesn't try to validate the image mthd->score = nouveau_bios_score(bios, mthd->rw); which validates the image So shadowing always happened *before* trying to look at the bios data. The relevant log is below.
