[HPE] FWTS test results

[Huang, Bryan]

Hi FWTS members,

Here is TPE HPE Bryan Huang.
We use fwts-live-21.05.00.img.xz and encounter the following FWTS issues, if you want to see detail information, attached is the test result.
FWTS tool: https://fwts.ubuntu.com/fwts-live/
Would you please help us to confirm the following information?


acpitables: ACPI table headers sanity tests.
Test ACPI spec versus table revisions.
System supports ACPI 0610
FAILED [MEDIUM]      ACPI Table SSDT revision was expected to be 2, got 1.
FAILED [MEDIUM]      ACPI Table APIC revision was expected to be 4, got 3.
FAILED [MEDIUM]      ACPI Table MSCT revision was expected to be 1, got 2.
FAILED [MEDIUM]      ACPI Table PCCT revision was expected to be 1, got 2.
FAILED [MEDIUM]      ACPI Table SSDT revision was expected to be 2, got 1.


I tried to trace the acpi_table_check_test2 function of FWTS source code. Our units are use acpi_61_rev table as below. If ACPI Table XXXX revision is different, is it a BIOS issue?

File location: src\acpi\acpitables\acpitables.c
/* Supported ACPI tables (see Table 5-30 in ACPI spec)
* Note: OEMx (N/A) and PSDT (deleted) aren't included.
*/
static const fwts_acpi_table_rev acpi_61_rev[] = {
      {"APIC", 4},
      {"BERT", 1},
      {"BGRT", 1},
      {"CPEP", 1},
      {"DSDT", 2},
      {"ECDT", 1},
      {"EINJ", 1},
      {"ERST", 1},
      {"FACP", 6},
      {"FPDT", 1},
      {"GTDT", 2},
      {"HEST", 1},
      {"MSCT", 1},
      {"MPST", 1},
      {"NFIT", 1},
      {"PCCT", 1},
      {"PMTT", 1},
      {"RASF", 1},
      {"RSDT", 1},
      {"SBST", 1},
      {"SLIT", 1},
      {"SRAT", 3},
      {"SSDT", 2},
      {"XSDT", 1},
      {NULL, 0xff}     // end of table
};




klog: Scan kernel log for errors and warnings.

Unit 1:
FAILED [HIGH]      HIGH Kernel message: [ 0.309290] ACPI Error: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog (20190816/psobject-220)
Advice                     This is not exactly a failure but a warning from the kernel. The MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS was initialized and defaulted to a high performance bias setting. The kernel has detected this and changed it down to a 'normal' bias setting.

Unit 2:
FAILED [HIGH]      HIGH Kernel message: [ 0.380305] tpm tpm0: [Firmware Bug]: TPM interrupt not working, polling instead
Advice                     This is not exactly a failure but a warning from the kernel. The MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS was initialized and defaulted to a high performance bias setting. The kernel has detected this and changed it down to a 'normal' bias setting.


If we encountered the failed item of HIGH Kernel message, is it a BIOS issue?




dmicheck: DMI/SMBIOS table tests.
FAILED [HIGH]      Type 17 expects length of 0x54, has incorrect length of 0x5c
SMBIOS Entry Point Structure:
Anchor String          : _SM_
Checksum               : 0x14
Entry Point Length     : 0x1f
Major Version          : 0x03
Minor Version          : 0x02
Maximum Struct Size    : 0x0169
Entry Point Revision   : 0x00
Formatted Area         : 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
Intermediate Anchor    : _DMI_
Intermediate Checksum  : 0x4a
Structure Table Length : 0x1864
Structure Table Address: 0x3ef6d000
# of SMBIOS Structures : 0x006c
SMBIOS BCD Revision    : 32


I try to track the FAILED item through SMBIOS SPEC.
DSP0134_3.2.0: https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0134_3.2.0.pdf
I think that SMBIOS type 17 expects length of 0x54 is correct, and it should be an issue. Please correct me if my understand is not correct?
