In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/64: Init jump labels before parse_early_param()
On 64-bit, calling jump_label_init() in setup_feature_keys() is too
late because static keys may be used in subroutines of
parse_early_param() which is again subroutine of early_init_devtree().
For example booting with "threadirqs":
static_key_enable_cpuslocked(): static key '0xc000000002953260' used before call to jump_label_init()
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/jump_label.c:166 static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xfc/0x120
...
NIP static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xfc/0x120
LR static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xf8/0x120
Call Trace:
static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xf8/0x120 (unreliable)
static_key_enable+0x30/0x50
setup_forced_irqthreads+0x28/0x40
do_early_param+0xa0/0x108
parse_args+0x290/0x4e0
parse_early_options+0x48/0x5c
parse_early_param+0x58/0x84
early_init_devtree+0xd4/0x518
early_setup+0xb4/0x214
So call jump_label_init() just before parse_early_param() in
early_init_devtree().
[mpe: Add call trace to change log and minor wording edits.]
