In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bootconfig: use memblock_free_late to free xbc memory to buddy

On the time to free xbc memory in xbc_exit(), memblock may has handed
over memory to buddy allocator. So it doesn't make sense to free memory
back to memblock. memblock_free() called by xbc_exit() even causes UAF bugs
on architectures with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK disabled like x86.
Following KASAN logs shows this case.

This patch fixes the xbc memory free problem by calling memblock_free()
in early xbc init error rewind path and calling memblock_free_late() in
xbc exit path to free memory to buddy allocator.

[ 9.654675] ==================================================================

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: bootconfig: use memblock_free_late para liberar memoria xbc para el amigo En el momento de liberar memoria xbc en xbc_exit(), es posible que memblock haya entregado la memoria al asignador de amigos. Por lo tanto, no tiene sentido liberar memoria en Memblock. memblock_free() llamado por xbc_exit() incluso causa errores UAF en arquitecturas con CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK deshabilitado como x86. Los siguientes registros de KASAN muestran este caso. Este parche soluciona el problema de falta de memoria de xbc llamando a memblock_free() en la ruta de rebobinado del error de inicio temprano de xbc y llamando a memblock_free_late() en la ruta de salida de xbc para liberar memoria al asignador de amigos.
