Thanks, I will add your Reviewed-by tag in v5, there will be no code changes in
that version, so the tag remains valid.

Commit 87880af2d24e ("APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past
allocated memory") added bounds checks for malformed ARM processor
error records but contained a bug:

  In log_arm_hw_error(), the ctx_info bounds check is inverted. The
  condition "sz + (long)ctx_info - (long)err >= err->section_length"
  adds ctx_info->size when the context header is already past the end
  of the section instead of when it is within bounds. So change the
  comparison to <=.

Fixes: 87880af2d24e ("APEI/GHES: ARM processor Error: don't go past allocated memory")
