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

 



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

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

From: Mark Salter <msalter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 335d2c2d192266358c5dfa64953a4c162f46e464 upstream.

Commit 5c492c3f5255 ("arm64: smp: Add function to determine if cpus are
stuck in the kernel") added a helper function to determine if die() is
supported in cpu_ops. This function assumes a cpu will have a valid
cpu_ops entry, but that may not be the case for cpu0 is spin-table or
parking protocol is used to boot secondary cpus. In that case, there
is a NULL dereference if have_cpu_die() is called by cpu0. So add a
check for a valid cpu_ops before dereferencing it.
