xen/x86: Update topology map for PV VCPUs
Early during boot topology_update_package_map() computes logical_pkg_ids for all present processors. Later, when processors are brought up, identify_cpu() updates these values based on phys_pkg_id which is a function of initial_apicid. On PV guests the latter may point to a non-existing node, causing logical_pkg_ids to be set to -1. Intel's RAPL uses logical_pkg_id (as topology_logical_package_id()) to index its arrays and therefore in this case will point to index 65535 (since logical_pkg_id is a u16). This could lead to either a crash or may actually access random memory location. As a workaround, we recompute topology during CPU bringup to reset logical_pkg_id to a valid value. (The reason for initial_apicid being bogus is because it is initial_apicid of the processor from which the guest is launched. This value is CPUID(1).EBX[31:24]) Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>
