[PATCH 4.8 075/138] MIPS: KASLR: Fix handling of NULL FDT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4736697963385e6257ee8e260e97347e858cd962 upstream.

If platform code returns a NULL pointer to the FDT, initial_boot_params
will not get set to a valid pointer and attempting to find the /chosen
node in it will cause a NULL pointer dereference and the kernel to crash
immediately on startup - with no output to the console.

Fix this by checking that initial_boot_params is valid before using it.
