Commit 18a34cce introduced init_apic_map. It iterates over sizeof(online_cpus) * 8 items and sets APIC ids in id_map. However, online_cpus is defined (in x86/cstart[64].S) as a 64-bit variable. After i >= 64, init_apic_map begins to read out of bounds of online_cpus. If it finds a non-zero value there enough times, it then proceeds to potentially overflow id_map in assignment. In our test case id_map was linked close to pg_base. As a result page table was corrupted and we've seen sporadic failures of ioapic test.
