Subject: MIPS: GIC: Prevent array overrun

From: Jeffrey Deans <jeffrey.deans@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ffc8415afab20bd97754efae6aad1f67b531132b upstream.

A GIC interrupt which is declared as having a GIC_MAP_TO_NMI_MSK
mapping causes the cpu parameter to gic_setup_intr() to be increased
to 32, causing memory corruption when pcpu_masks[] is written to again
later in the function.
