Subject: [PATCH 5.10 013/355] x86/cpu: Sanitize CPUID(0x80000000) output
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2025 15:03:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250623130627.164055707@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250623130626.716971725@linuxfoundation.org>
5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwi@linutronix.de>
[ Upstream commit cc663ba3fe383a628a812f893cc98aafff39ab04 ]
CPUID(0x80000000).EAX returns the max extended CPUID leaf available. On
x86-32 machines without an extended CPUID range, a CPUID(0x80000000)
query will just repeat the output of the last valid standard CPUID leaf
on the CPU; i.e., a garbage values. Current tip:x86/cpu code protects against
this by doing:
eax = cpuid_eax(0x80000000);
c->extended_cpuid_level = eax;
if ((eax & 0xffff0000) == 0x80000000) {
// CPU has an extended CPUID range. Check for 0x80000001
if (eax >= 0x80000001) {
cpuid(0x80000001, ...);
}
}
This is correct so far. Afterwards though, the same possibly broken EAX
value is used to check the availability of other extended CPUID leaves:
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x80000007)
...
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x80000008)
...
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x8000000a)
...
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x8000001f)
...
which is invalid. Fix this by immediately setting the CPU's max extended
CPUID leaf to zero if CPUID(0x80000000).EAX doesn't indicate a valid
CPUID extended range.
While at it, add a comment, similar to kernel/head_32.S, clarifying the
CPUID(0x80000000) sanity check.
