Overview
About vulnerability
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:
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.
