X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9bae3c370a9ecc658d6a807efa007fdec915d0ed;p=linux-beck.git x86/cpu: Fix bootup crashes by sanitizing the argument of the 'clearcpuid=' command-line option commit dd853fd216d1485ed3045ff772079cc8689a9a4a upstream. A negative number can be specified in the cmdline which will be used as setup_clear_cpu_cap() argument. With that we can clear/set some bit in memory predceeding boot_cpu_data/cpu_caps_cleared which may cause kernel to misbehave. This patch adds lower bound check to setup_disablecpuid().
