Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/platform/uv: Use alternate source for socket to node data The UV code attempts to build a set of tables to allow it to do bidirectional socketnode lookups. But when nr_cpus is set to a smaller number than actually present, the cpu_to_node() mapping information for unused CPUs is not available to build_socket_tables(). This results in skipping some nodes or sockets when creating the tables and leaving some -1's for later c
