Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: intel_powerclamp: Use get_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id() to avoid crash
When CPU 0 is offline and intel_powerclamp is used to inject
idle, it generates kernel BUG:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: bash/15687
caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20
CPU: 4 PID: 15687 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.19.0-rc7+ #57
Call Trace:
<TASK>
dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x63
dump_stack+0x10/0x16
check_preemption_disabled+0xdd/0xe0
debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20
powerclamp_set_cur_state+0x7f/0xf9 [intel_powerclamp]
...
...
Here CPU 0 is the control CPU by default and changed to the current CPU,
if CPU 0 offlined. This check has to be performed under cpus_read_lock(),
hence the above warning.
Use get_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id() to avoid this BUG.
