You need to test the sub-leaf index validity here before accessing
subleaf 1:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c
index 4910cb421b82..dad20bc891d5 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c
+++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c
@@ -848,8 +848,11 @@ void get_cpu_cap(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c)

- cpuid_count(0x00000007, 1, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
- c->x86_capability[CPUID_7_1_EAX] = eax;
+ /* Check valid sub-leaf index before accessing it */
+ if (eax >= 1) {
+ cpuid_count(0x00000007, 1, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
+ c->x86_capability[CPUID_7_1_EAX] = eax;
+ }
}
