The commit that added support for retrieving the APIC IDs from the APs introduced several usages of cpuid() with NULL parameters, which is not handled by the underlying implementation. For GCC I expect this results in writes to the physical address at 0, however for Clang the generated code in smp.o is: tools/firmware/hvmloader/smp.o: file format elf32-i386 Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <smp_initialise>: 0: 55 pushl %ebp 1: 89 e5 movl %esp, %ebp 3: 53 pushl %ebx 4: 31 c0 xorl %eax, %eax 6: 31 c9 xorl %ecx, %ecx 8: 0f a2 cpuid Showing the usage of a NULL pointer results in undefined behavior, and clang refusing to generate further code after it. Fix by using a temporary variable in cpuid_count() in place for any NULL parameter. Fixes: 9ad0db58c7e2 ('tools/hvmloader: Retrieve APIC IDs from the APs themselves') Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Could also be fixed by using the temporary variable in the call sites, however that's more code in the call sites at the expense of less checking. I don't think the extra NULL check logic in cpuid_count() is that bad. Overall the solution proposed in this patch is safer going forward, as it prevent issues like this from being introduced in the first place. --- tools/firmware/hvmloader/util.h | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/firmware/hvmloader/util.h b/tools/firmware/hvmloader/util.h index 644450c51ceb..765a013ddd9e 100644 --- a/tools/firmware/hvmloader/util.h +++ b/tools/firmware/hvmloader/util.h @@ -190,6 +190,17 @@ static inline void cpuid_count( uint32_t *ecx, uint32_t *edx) { + uint32_t tmp; + + if ( !eax ) + eax = &tmp; + if ( !ebx ) + ebx = &tmp; + if ( !ecx ) + ecx = &tmp; + if ( !edx ) + edx = &tmp; + asm volatile ( "cpuid" : "=a" (*eax), "=b" (*ebx), "=c" (*ecx), "=d" (*edx) : "a" (leaf), "c" (subleaf) ); -- 2.48.1
