CVE-2022-49623
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/xive/spapr: correct bitmap allocation size

kasan detects access beyond the end of the xibm->bitmap allocation:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _find_first_zero_bit+0x40/0x140

The buggy address belongs to the object at c00000001d1d0118
 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8 of size 8
The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of
 8-byte region [c00000001d1d0118, c00000001d1d0120)

The buggy address belongs to the physical page:

page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected

Memory state around the buggy address:
 c00000001d1d0000: fc 00 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc
 c00000001d1d0080: fc fc 00 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc

 c00000001d1d0200: fc fc fc fc fc 04 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc

This happens because the allocation uses the wrong unit (bits) when it
should pass (BITS_TO_LONGS(count) * sizeof(long)) or equivalent. With small
numbers of bits, the allocated object can be smaller than sizeof(long),
which results in invalid accesses.

Use bitmap_zalloc() to allocate and initialize the irq bitmap, paired with
bitmap_free() for consistency.
