This is the bios-tables refresh the cover lists as pending:
/x86_64/acpi/q35/cxl and /x86_64/acpi/q35/acpihmat-genericx both hit
the all_tables_match assertion with a DSDT mismatch, and the asl diff
is exactly this _DSM under the pxb-cxl device (12638 -> 12684 bytes on
the acpihmat-generic-x variant). The g_assert aborts the test binary,
so a full run only reports the first case.
With preserve_config=false the method advertises no functions and
returns a zero buffer for every function, so the x86 half of the
change is dead AML plus golden-table churn. Append the _DSM only when
preserve_config is set: the x86 tables stay untouched and the pending
refresh drops out. Otherwise the usual three-patch bios-tables update
needs to ride in this series.
aarch64/virt has no CXL golden files, so nothing catches the arm side
either way.
Many thanks,
Junjie
