Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ... and a possible reason

  • G

    Omega2+, from 0.1.5 b130 to 0.1.9 b150 several FirmWares, without dock / with Arduino Dock 2

    When your just unboxed Omega2+ is not working with its factory settings, there's no need immediately to think of a hardware error and/or no need to blame the unfortunate 3.3V power supply.
    You might only need to move a few meters away and hope this will help.

    This story is taking place in a flat of an apartment building built with reinforced concrete walls. There are lots of flats and lots of WiFi APs especially on CH1, CH6 and CH11. But there are a few completely empty CHs too.

    ‬My lovely Omega2... after the first steps...
    I've just started getting used to it when things have taken a very bad turn.
    I couldn't even start it. Whenever I tried, I got this message on the serial console (TX0):

    which isn't actually a Reboot, but a Halt/Poweroff state.

    It didn't take me long to figure out the problem was caused by the WiFi subsystem starting up.
    I only enabled the AP but the situation didn't improve.

    Lastly I noticed if a client successfully connects to the AP then the O2+ works without any problems, for as long as I want it to (of course there's no internet connection in this case).

[  418.998866] 
[  419.013078] Rebooting in 3 seconds..

    I have read everything (literally) in the manual and in the forum.
    I think I've tried all the settings and taken all the advice from the forum community (the ones related to the 3.3V power supply as well 😉 ) but nothing worked.

    I was very disappointed thinking everyone's O2+ is working apart from mine. Since I don't really have as much free time as I've already spent trying to make my O2+ work, I've finally decided to put aside my favourite toy.

    I wanted to give it one last try and turned it on when the miracle happened - it worked perfectly.

    The only thing that's changed by this time was that I've moved it to a different room of the flat, about 5 meters away from the previous place.
    I realized something must be interfering with the WiFi in the first room because when I move the O2+ back there, it goes straight to 'Kernel panic... ' and poweroff state again.

    Conclusions:

    Of course now I'm trying to find the source of the interference, but no luck so far.

    I think the Omega2+ should be able to manage these situations.
    At least the AP should be able to work fine if it's enabled.

    It would be amazing if the official Omega team could say something about this issue.
    Until then I am grateful for any advice, especially from those who were in a similar situation and managed to resolve it.
    What should I change on the wifi and how should I find what's causing the wifi interference.

    Many thanks for reading,
    gf.

    P.S.
    I think the absolute minimum would be the following if the kernel says:

    [ ...] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ...
    [ ...]
    [ ...] Rebooting in 3 seconds..

    then it should really do what it promised and Reboot.

    These are interesting findings, they suggest there may be a bug in the wifi driver than can be triggered by variations in local circumstance.

    Unfortunately the wifi driver seems to be missing from the source release.

    However, the power possibility can't be entirely disregarded either - if it's on the edge, sometimes a combination of circumstances would cause failure, and other times it would barely survive.

    That reboot actually is a reset, not a shutdown, it is just then apparently getting stuck because the flash chip is still in a 4-byte address mode incompatible with the 3-byte addressing used to boot.

    Thanks Chris,

    I'm diligently investigating my problem.

    exactly same problem here, someone has a solution?

    No, this is not the same as the problem you are reporting elsewhere. The subject of this thread is not failures in general, but a very specific one linked to wifi.

    Please stop making repetitive posts in multiple threads.

    These are interesting findings, they suggest there may be a bug in the wifi driver than can be triggered by variations in local circumstance.

    Hmmm I am wondering now if that is why out of the 3 APs I have both on G and N my Omega only sees one. I tried playing around with the channels encryption cyphers etc. But to no avail.

    Kinda frustrating.

    Any news regarding this?

    Same issue, I had to turn off nearby home routers (same floor) to make work my omega2p.

    I could barely avoid the kernel panic to move my home router to 2nd floor and use my omega2p at the 1st floor -_-;;

    No more solution via flash update? or it is hardware problem??

    I hope the official onion dev team clear this question.

    I did a couple of experiments yesterday night. (b160 f/w)

    With 5 WIFI routers near me, I changed all the SSIDs which is comprised of some CJK characters with a bit long string length into a simple English characters. And then, no more kernel panic.

    I am sure this solved, at least, my problem as if I changed those SSIDs back to original, I got kernel panic again 🙂

    And I think the problem is only occured by 2.4GHz setting but not by 5GHz.

    If the problem is really with this matter, the device driver (or any related kernel code) should be fixed as it could lead to a security problem.

    @kurt-john but, with the number of users that reported an issue with kernel panic it is improbable to think that they were all affected by a cjk ssid string therefore the fact that this change in the string solved your problem is perhaps just a coincidence

    @Douglas-Kryder i tested at around 7~8 times changing SSID back and forth; and the result was consistent. Anyway, agreed that, may be, my case is not applied for all the case as you said. I just wonder maybe someone try the SSID "하이네켄인증포어러2.4G" (without quotes) and see if the SSID triggers any kernel panic like me 🙂

    the panic seems to be occurred in the wifi scan stage during the boot-time.

    하이네켄인증포어러2.4G

    i'd be ok with testing on a win10 laptop. there was a download which i guess is a character set so i need to see what the file is sometime tomorrow. my own omega2's , i have 2 that could be testers but can not do it till lunch time tomorrow.

    @sunny-lau's omega2+ shutdown every time I turn my mobile AP on post was the key for me.
    @zal-to's Omega2 0.1.10 b160 wifi driver buffer overflow - kernel panic (nice 😉 post might be true.

    Unfortunately I do not have a real solution for this BUG.

    Many thanks for your tests and comments.

    I created a network with SSID 하이네켄인증포어러2.4G and got the same behavior.
    I think that the last build solve this.

    Now I'm running LEDE on my board.
