Bad frame pointer: expected f6919d98, received f6919db0
from func acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake return to c43b6f9d
The warning means that function graph tracing is broken for the
acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake() function. That's because the acpi
Makefile
unconditionally sets the '-Os' gcc flag to optimize for size. That's
an
issue because mcount-based function graph tracing is incompatible with
'-Os' on x86, thanks to the following gcc bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42109
I have another patch pending which will ensure that mcount-based
function graph tracing is never used with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
on
x86.
But this patch is needed in addition to that one because the ACPI
Makefile overrides that config option for no apparent reason. It has
had this flag since the beginning of git history, and there's no
related
comment, so I don't know why it's there. As far as I can tell,
there's
no reason for it to be there. The appropriate behavior is for it to
honor CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_{SIZE,PERFORMANCE} like the rest of the
kernel.

I checked out Linux 4.9.16, applied your patch on top, and copied the
Debian 4.9 Linux kernel configuration, did `make menuconfig`, disabled
building debugging symbols, and executed `ARCH=i386 make -j40
deb-pkg`.
I installed that package on the Lenovo X60, and the result with
tracing enabled has improved. The system suspends without a crash.
Unfortunately, instead of resuming when pressing the power button, it
starts from scratch. Suspend and resume without tracing enabled works
though.
I’ll try to collect logs, but I don’t know, if there will be any, if
the system just resets.
The system is able to resume with `no_console_suspend` passed to Linux
on its command line.
```
$ more /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.9.16
root=UUID=0198e82a-32df-4f18-bec0-3e08802b084d ro noisapnp

tyS1,115200 console=tty0 no_console_suspend
```
Please tell me, what you need from my side.
Maybe, this can be reproduced in QEMU?
Kind regards,
Paul
