Before determining the validity of the last-level cache info, ensure that
it has been allocated. Simply checking for non-zero cache_leaves() is not
sufficient, as some architectures (e.g., Intel processors) have non-zero
cache_leaves() before allocation.
Dereferencing NULL cacheinfo can occur in update_per_cpu_data_slice_size().
This function iterates over all online CPUs. However, a CPU may have come
online recently, but its cacheinfo may not have been allocated yet.

The dereference of a NULL cacheinfo is not observed today because
cache_leaves(cpu) is zero until after init_cache_level() is called
(during the CPU hotplug callback). A subsequent changeset will set
the number of cache leaves earlier and the NULL-pointer dereference
will be observed.

While at it, pls fix the formatting insanity of allocate_cache_info() into:
static inline int allocate_cache_info(int cpu)
{
per_cpu_cacheinfo(cpu) = kcalloc(cache_leaves(cpu), sizeof(struct cacheinfo), GFP_ATOMIC);
if (!per_cpu_cacheinfo(cpu)) {
cache_leaves(cpu) = 0;
return -ENOMEM;
}
return 0;
}

Commit 5944ce092b97 ("arch_topology: Build cacheinfo from primary CPU")
adds functionality that architectures can use to optionally allocate and
build cacheinfo early during boot. Commit 6539cffa9495 ("cacheinfo: Add
arch specific early level initializer") lets secondary CPUs correct (and
reallocate memory) cacheinfo data if needed.
If the early build functionality is not used and cacheinfo does not need
correction, memory for cacheinfo is never allocated. x86 does not use the
early build functionality. Consequently, during the cacheinfo CPU hotplug
callback, last_level_cache_is_valid() attempts to dereference a NULL
pointer:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000100

The motivation for commit 5944ce092b97 was to prevent a BUG splat in
PREEMPT_RT kernels during memory allocation. This splat is not observed on
x86 because the memory allocation for cacheinfo happens in
detect_cache_attributes() from the cacheinfo CPU hotplug callback.
The dereference of a NULL pointer is not observed today because
cache_leaves(cpu) is zero until after init_cache_level() is called (also
during the CPU hotplug callback). A subsequent changeset will set the
number of cache leaves earlier and the NULL-pointer dereference will be
observed.

Why is this a separate patch?
It sounds like it should be merged with the first one as both address a CPU
hotplug issue AFAICT.

Thank you for your review Borislav!
Yes, both patches address issues during CPU hotplug (both NULL-pointer
dereference). However, IHMO, they are separate issues. Patch 1/4 fixes
a missing allocation check. Patch 2/4 causes the allocation to happen in
case early allocation is not used.
If I did not convince you, I am happy to merge together patches 1 and 2.
Thanks and BR,
Ricardo

Well, what is easier to handle by stable and/or backporters: one patch or two
patches fixing two very similar CPU hotplug isuses in cacheinfo?
IOW, what is the benefit in having two patches instead of one?

Indeed, one patch would be easier to handle.

Marginal I guess. I can put all the background and rationale in the commit
message.
I will post a new version merging patches 1 and 2... and fixing the

Linux remembers cpu_cachinfo::num_leaves per CPU, but x86 initializes all
CPUs from the same global "num_cache_leaves".
This is erroneous on systems such as Meteor Lake, where each CPU has a
distinct num_leaves value. Delete the global "num_cache_leaves" and
initialize num_leaves on each CPU.

After this change, all CPUs will traverse CPUID leaf 0x4 when booted for
the first time. On systems with symmetric cache topologies this is
useless work.
Creating a list of processor models that have asymmetric cache topologies
was considered. The burden of maintaining such list would outweigh the
performance benefit of skipping this extra step.

init_cache_level() no longer has a purpose on x86. It no longer needs to
set num_leaves, and it never had to set num_levels, which was unnecessary
on x86.
Replace it with "return 0" simply to override the weak function, which
would return an error.
