[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.13 26/31] arm64: amu: Delay allocating cpumask for AMU FIE support

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-02-18 20:25:51
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: Beata Michalska <redacted>

[ Upstream commit d923782b041218ef3804b2fed87619b5b1a497f3 ]

For the time being, the amu_fie_cpus cpumask is being exclusively used
by the AMU-related internals of FIE support and is guaranteed to be
valid on every access currently made. Still the mask is not being
invalidated on one of the error handling code paths, which leaves
a soft spot with theoretical risk of UAF for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK cases.
To make things sound, delay allocating said cpumask
(for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK) avoiding otherwise nasty sanitising case failing
to register the cpufreq policy notifications.
