LoongArch: Change acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] to acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC]
CVE: CVE-2024-26768
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-121
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 5.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2024-04-03T00:00:00+00:00

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

LoongArch: Change acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] to acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC]

With default config, the value of NR_CPUS is 64. When HW platform has
more then 64 cpus, system will crash on these platforms. MAX_CORE_PIC
is the maximum cpu number in MADT table (max physical number) which can
exceed the supported maximum cpu number (NR_CPUS, max logical number),
but kernel should not crash. Kernel should boot cpus with NR_CPUS, let
the remainder cpus stay in BIOS.

The potential crash reason is that the array acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] can
be overflowed when parsing MADT table, and it is obvious that CORE_PIC
should be corresponding to physical core rather than logical core, so it
is better to define the array as acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC].

With the patch, system can boot up 64 vcpus with qemu parameter -smp 128,
otherwise system will crash with the following message.
