[SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

Hi everyone,

I bought a used Dell Latitude 7490/0KP0FT a while ago. The first few months it worked flawlessly, but after a Kernel update from late 4 to early 5 (unfortunately I do not have exact versions) I started getting random Kernel Panics while the system was booted: The display would freeze and after a few seconds the Caps Lock key would start to blink, indicating a Kernel Panic. I spend some time debugging, but eventually resented to using an older LTS kernel, which worked fine for a while.

About a week back I started getting Kernel Panics again, but this time relatively consistently when I suspended or resumed the system (both seem to trigger the issue sometimes). The freeze happens maybe every fifth suspend/resume cycle.
When it occurs on suspend: The display turns off, but the power LED stays on, after a while Caps Lock starts blinking. And when it occurs during resume, the display does not turn on at all, and Caps Lock starts blinking.

I have the latest intel-ucode package installed (ucode version 2019-10-03).

The problem occurs with all Kernel versions that I tested:

  • an ancient 4.19.80-2-lts

  • the current Arch kernel (5.6.7-arch1-1 as of now)

  • the most recent mainline kernel, that I compiled myself (5.7.0-rc2)

This puzzles me, as it seems to indicate that the problem is independent of the kernel version.

Since the problem only occurs during suspend operations, my guess is that it has to do with power management.
Workarounds I've tried:

  • Update to the latest BIOS (1.13.1 11/08/2019)

  • Limit the C-states of the CPU with kernel parameter "processor.max_cstate=1 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 idle=poll"

  • Disable Intel SpeedStep, TurboBoost in BIOS

  • Using the software-only s2idle instead of a full s3 suspend

However, with each of them the error re-occurred at least once.

I logged kernel messages via netconsole, and was able to capture the following:

Unfortunately it is not much. I suspect the systemd-coredump issues are just due to a previous unclean shutdown, thus only the last few lines are of interest.

I am kind of at a loss here. The disability to suspend limits the usefulness of a laptop severely.

Does anyone have an idea what I could do to suspend without kernel panics, or to further debug the issue? Has anyone had a similar issue before, or even the same machine?
I am grateful for any idea

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

Have you considered this might be a hardware problem? I would run MemTest to check RAM and CPU registers for errors as a start.

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

Thank you for your response!
Following your suggestion I let memtest86 run overnight, but it came clean with no errors.

However I kind of suspected that, since the system does run stable once it is up. The error seems to only occur during transitions from/to suspend.

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

ACPI Warning: SystemMemory range 0x00000000FE028000-0x00000000FE0281FF conflicts with OpRegion 0x00000000FE028000-0x00000000FE028207 (\_SB.PCI0.GEXP.BAR0) (20180810/utaddress-204)

It is from this warning that I thought it might be a good idea to check your memory but that's not the issue.
I would look at Power Management next and systemd. Are you running any DM?

I suspect the systemd-coredump issues are just due to a previous unclean shutdown

It could be systemd might be the issue. It seems systemd enters suspend OK:

systemd-suspend.service: Succeeded.

But then you get coredumps afterwards?
And this error in your logs could be a lead as well:

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler

On a brief internet search, I found an answer here.

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

I am suspecting power management as well. And since the problem persists with different Kernel versions, I agree that the issue could have to do with systemd.
I am not sure it is a good idea, but I could try to downgrade systemd in order to verify this?

Are you running any DM?

Yes, I am running an LVM on top of a LUKS volume.

But then you get coredumps afterwards?

The stack trace contains 

[76323.661775] systemd-coredump[107968]: #0  0x00007f562b06aa82 journal_file_append_object (libsystemd-shared-245.so + 0x6ca82)

so journald seems to crash because of a corrupt log file. Right before that, the log shows

[76323.597484] systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Failed with result 'watchdog'.
[76323.598277] audit: type=1131 audit(1588054596.436:367): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=systemd-journald comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed'
[76323.607919] systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1.

So just before the kernel Panic, journald was killed which might have caused the corruption. However, during all the previous crashes, this seems to have never happened before, so it might a wrong trail as well ...

On a brief internet search, I found an answer here.

Thank you for the link.
They suggest the max_cstate=1 kernel parameter. I did already tried processor.max_cstate=1 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 idle=poll (not sure if the processor. prefix is needed here), as well as deactivating C States completely in the UEFI, both did not change anything unfortunately

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

I'm experiencing the same issue on my Latitude 7490. Dell ePSA diagnostics all reported back that no issues were detected. It definitely seems like it is sleep/resume/cstate related. If I keep the laptop plugged in and have sleep disabled, it usually runs fine for several days.

Let me know if I can provide any logs or details that could be helpful.

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

Wow that is actually really interesting to hear! I was starting to think I was the only one with this problem.

Yes it's the exact same thing for me, if I don't suspend the system it runs stable. So far I've made good experiences with the hibernate mode, but it's a pain to always do that instead of a quick suspend and thus not really a long term solution.

How long have you been experiencing the panics? Did it start after some software update, BIOS update or was it always like this?
Logs would be super helpful! Do you have any dmesg of journald entries from the Panic event? As I've described in my original post, my system didn't really log any details that would help us.

I did some more investigation:

  • booted Ubuntu live image (19.10 and 20.04): same problem

  • booted Void Linux live image (which is not systemd based): seemed to work fine
    --> This seems to indicate it is a software issue or at least triggered by some specific software

  • rolled back all packages (as described here) to a date when the system was running ok: same problem
    -->This does not make any sense to me and seems to contradict the hypothesis that it is software related

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

It does seem to point to hardware. Perhaps check the BIOS again and see if there is anything amiss there like in Power Management i.e. S1, S2 states etc.

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

Try those kernel parameters. Kaby Lake processors seem to have problems with C-States on recent kernels.  More Information

acpi_enforce_resources=lax i915.enable_dc=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=1

or

acpi_enforce_resources=lax i915.enable_psr=0

Both seem to work for me atm. Limiting the cstates is of course killing the battery...

Thank you @davze, this actually seems to work for me as well!

fyi, it appears just acpi_enforce_resources=lax i915.enable_dc=0 works too, however acpi_enforce_resources=lax i915.enable_psr=0 does not work on my machine

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

Out of curiosity... Do you have the problem when suspending manually or only when the system suspends after a few minutes of idling?
I'm asking because on my Latitude 7490 I only had problems if the system suspends automatically. The problem was gone when I disabled Screen Energy Saving (KDE).

For me it happens with both. I, too, disabled autosuspend because of it, but manual suspends trigger it just as well.

Yeah, as detailed in that link, I feel like my experiences with Intel graphics and (now) c-states have been poor for a while now. I get Intel graphics DRM hangs on occasion (that issue was worse around Nov-Dec, whatever kernel version was around then). I guess I'll think about disabling the power management items mentioned there, but life is crazy with teleworking and a toddler at home. I'll eventually get around to it... neutral

Re: [SOLVED] Random Kernel Panics on suspend/resume on Dell Latitude 7490

I'm having the exact same experience since the end of last year, also with a latitude e7490, latest BIOS. I've tried multiple kernels and the latest were always affected the most, although it happened at least once on the 4.19 LTS kernel.

After endless hours of debugging, I installed Windows because I wanted to make sure it isn't hardware-related. All ePSA tests were always successful, as were multiple runs of MemTest86.

Interestingly enough, I was able to produce similar kernel panics under Windows 10 (= BSOD, WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR). I've also noticed that the freezes practically always occurred on battery power, instead of when plugged in. So I suspected something related to C-states and/or GPU for a while as well.

Since I came across this article and followed the instructions (which - of course - was a pain, because Windows reinstalls the same faulty drivers again and again), the problems are since gone and I did not have a single freeze since then. I'm aware this isn't a windows support forum, I'm just pointing to it, because I meanwhile believe that 1) these issues are related and 2) faulty hardware isn't the cause of them.

I may now try to reinstall Arch Linux and boot with given kernel parameters, and can hopefully again use this laptop. I had so switch to an old Thinkpad from work for weeks now, because I couldn't get a panic-free Latitude experience. Thanks everyone for bringing some light and hope to the matter. I'll report.

Oddly enough had a CPU failure issue on Dell 7490, when the battery of USB mouse was almost discharged.
