Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Change acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] to acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC] With default config, the value of NR_CPUS is 64. When HW platform has
more then 64 cpus, system will crash on these platforms. MAX_CORE_PIC
is the maximum cpu number in MADT table (max physical number) which can
exceed the supported maximum cpu number (NR_CPUS, max logical number),
but kernel should not crash. Kernel should boot cpus with NR_CPUS, let
the remainder cpus stay in BIOS. The potential crash reason is that the array acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] can
be overflowed when parsing MADT table, and it is obvious that CORE_PIC
should be corresponding to physical core rather than logical core, so it
is better to define the array as acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC]. With the patch, system can boot up 64 vcpus with qemu parameter -smp 128,
otherwise system will crash with the following message. [ 0.000000] CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000420000004259, era == 90000000037a5f0c, ra == 90000000037a46ec

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: LoongArch: cambie acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] a acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC] Con la configuración predeterminada, el valor de NR_CPUS es 64. Cuando la plataforma HW tiene más de 64 cpus, el SYSTEM fallará en estas plataformas . MAX_CORE_PIC es el número máximo de CPU en la tabla MADT (número físico máximo) que puede exceder el número máximo de CPU admitido (NR_CPUS, número lógico máximo), pero el kernel no debería fallar. El kernel debe arrancar los procesadores con NR_CPUS y dejar que los procesadores restantes permanezcan en el BIOS. La posible razón del fallo es que la matriz acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] puede desbordarse al analizar la tabla MADT, y es obvio que CORE_PIC debe corresponder al núcleo físico en lugar del núcleo lógico, por lo que es mejor definir la matriz como acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC] . Con el parche, el SYSTEM puede iniciar 64 vcpus con el parámetro qemu -smp 128; de lo contrario, el SYSTEM fallará con el siguiente mensaje.
