 |     PCI: ACPI PCI slot detection driver
 |
 |     Detect all physical PCI slots as described by ACPI, and create entries in
 |     /sys/bus/pci/slots/.

I.e. the new CONFIG_ACPI_PCI_SLOT=y option was causing this crash.

But the bug is not mainly in this new PCI code - that code was just
hitting the ACPI code in a new way which made ACPI break.

The crash signature shows that we are crashing on this instruction:

   movb $0x0, (%ecx, %ebx, 1)

ECX and EBX are 0x10 and -1. It's this line in
drivers/acpi/namespace/nsnames.c's acpi_ns_build_external_path():

        name_buffer[index] = 0;

I.e. name_buffer is 0x10 and index is -1.

index -1 corresponds to size 0, and name_buffer 0x10 is slab's
ZERO_SIZE_PTR special-case for zero-sized allocations.

I.e. when we called acpi_ns_handle_to_pathname(), we got required_size
of 0 due to an error condition, but this is passed to the ACPI allocator
unconditionally:

        required_size = acpi_ns_get_pathname_length(node);

        /* Validate/Allocate/Clear caller buffer */

        status = acpi_ut_initialize_buffer(buffer, required_size);
        if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) {
                return_ACPI_STATUS(status);
        }

Where acpi_ut_initialize_buffer(), through many (unnecessary) layers,
ends up calling kzalloc(0). Which returns 0x10 and that then causes the
crash later on.

So fix both callers of acpi_ns_get_pathname_length(), which can return 0
in case of an invalid node.

Also add a WARN_ON() against zero sized allocations in
acpi_ut_initialize_buffer() to make it easier to find similar instances
of this bug.

I have tested this patch for the past 24 hours and the crash has not
reappeared.
