Early during boot topology_update_package_map() computes logical_pkg_ids for all present processors. Later, when processors are brought up, identify_cpu() updates these values based on phys_pkg_id which is a function of initial_apicid. On PV guests the latter may point to a non-existing node, causing logical_pkg_ids to be set to -1. Intel's RAPL uses logical_pkg_id (as topology_logical_package_id()) to index its arrays and therefore in this case will point to index 65535 (since logical_pkg_id is a u16). This could lead to either a crash or may actually access random memory location. As a workaround, we recompute topology during CPU bringup to reset logical_pkg_id to a valid value. (The reason for initial_apicid being bogus is because it is initial_apicid of the processor from which the guest is launched. This value is CPUID(1).EBX[31:24]) Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Copying Andrew for the CPUID part. arch/x86/xen/smp.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/x86/xen/smp.c b/arch/x86/xen/smp.c index 311acad..9fa27ce 100644 --- a/arch/x86/xen/smp.c +++ b/arch/x86/xen/smp.c @@ -87,6 +87,12 @@ static void cpu_bringup(void) cpu_data(cpu).x86_max_cores = 1; set_cpu_sibling_map(cpu); + /* + * identify_cpu() may have set logical_pkg_id to -1 due + * to incorrect phys_proc_id.
