This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/apic: Fix kernel panic when booting with intremap=off and x2apic_phys to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-apic-fix-kernel-panic-when-booting-with-intremap.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 03a89cab4861cc1797cbb2b89fa2df54dd80e969 Author: Dheeraj Kumar Srivastava <dheerajkumar.srivastava@xxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jun 17 02:52:36 2023 +0530 x86/apic: Fix kernel panic when booting with intremap=off and x2apic_phys [ Upstream commit 85d38d5810e285d5aec7fb5283107d1da70c12a9 ] When booting with "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" on the kernel command line, the physical x2APIC driver ends up being used even when x2APIC mode is disabled ("intremap=off" disables x2APIC mode). This happens because the first compound condition check in x2apic_phys_probe() is false due to x2apic_mode == 0 and so the following one returns true after default_acpi_madt_oem_check() having already selected the physical x2APIC driver. This results in the following panic: kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c:2409! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.4.0-rc2-ver4.1rc2 #2 Hardware name: Dell Inc.
