Vulnerability: The etm_setup_aux function in drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.c in the Linux kernel before 4.10.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) because a parameter is incorrectly used as a local variable.
Vulnerability ID: CVE-2018-11232
CWE: CWE-20
Severity score: 6.9

Commit message: coresight: fix kernel panic caused by invalid CPU

Commit d52c9750f150 ("coresight: reset "enable_sink" flag when need be")
caused a kernel panic because of the using of an invalid value: after
'for_each_cpu(cpu, mask)', value of local variable 'cpu' become invalid,
causes following 'cpu_to_node' access invalid memory area.

This patch brings the deleted 'cpu = cpumask_first(mask)' back.

Panic log:
