Revision e01d8718de4170373cd7fbf5cf6f9cb61cebb1e9 authored by Peter Zijlstra on 27 January 2016, 22:24:29 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 29 January 2016, 07:35:23 UTC
When calling intel_alt_er() with .idx != EXTRA_REG_RSP_* we will not initialize alt_idx and then use this uninitialized value to index an array. When that is not fatal, it can result in an infinite loop in its caller __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints(), with IRQs disabled. Alternative error modes are random memory corruption due to the cpuc->shared_regs->regs[] array overrun, which manifest in either get_constraints or put_constraints doing weird stuff. Only took 6 hours of painful debugging to find this. Neither GCC nor Smatch warnings flagged this bug.
