This should be an ACPI BIOS bug, and there is not much to be done in Linux.

An acpidump log (sudo acpidump > acpi.log) is required for more analysis of what functions are impacted.

The error messages are caused by BIOS bugs, and they cannot be fixed in Ubuntu.

OC07 error in descriptions is declared but not defined in ACPI DSDT, i.e. External (OC07, UnknownObj).

The OEMB in #6 has a checksum (i.e. one of OEMx) is a OEM-specific table and that's probably used in Windows only (maybe a workaround).

Many ACPI functions are optional and it is sometimes okay to fail when these features are not used or can be disabled. If you have not obvious failures you can ignore them.

[Alex Hung (alexhung)]

#5 simply complains that ACPI BIOS can directly access I/O ports and Linux kernel is not fond of it. The warnings are very often harmless.

Product: ACPI
Component: ACPICA-Core
Hardware: x86-64 Linux

Many OEMs don't implement ACPI as fully as, perhaps, they should. There
are stories of certain functions being unavailable unless the operating
system declares itself to be "Windows"

[Witold Buczak (wbu3ak)]

"OC07 error in descriptions is declared but not defined in ACPI DSDT, i.e. External (OC07, UnknownObj)."

"The OEMB in #6 has a checksum (i.e. one of OEMx) is a OEM-specific table and that's probably used in Windows only (maybe a workaround)."

ACPI Machine Language (AML)
https://wiki.osdev.org/AML

The programming language equivalent for AML.
ASL is compiled into AML images.
This is the language that the DSDT is written in.

If you need to fix your DSDT, you'll have to write at least a little bit of ASL.

Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT)

An OEM must supply a DSDT to an ACPI-compatible OS.

"The DSDT contains the Differentiated Definition Block, which supplies the implementation and configuration information about the base system. The OS always inserts the DSDT information into the ACPI Namespace at system boot time and never removes it."

ADVICE: The DMI table contains data which is clearly been left in a default
setting and not been configured for this machine. Somebody has probably
forgotten to define this field and it basically means this field is effectively
useless. Note that the kernel uses this field so it probably should be corrected
to ensure the kernel is using sane values.

[Witold Buczak (wbu3ak)]

The ICH chips have their GPIO pins organized in 2 or 3 independent
groups of 32 GPIO pins.

It can happen that the ACPI BIOS wants to make use of pins in one group, preventing the OS to access these.

This doesnot prevent the OS from accessing the other group(s).

This is the case for example on my Asus board.

The ACPI BIOS wants to control GPIO 18 (group 1), while I (the OS) need to control
GPIO 52 and 53 (group 2) for SMBus multiplexing.

So instead of checking for ACPI resource conflict on the whole I/O
range, check on a per-group basis, and consider it a success if at
least one of the groups is available for the OS to use.
