[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.1 35/39] cpu/hotplug: Fix out-of-bounds read when setting fail state

From: Sasha Levin

From: Eiichi Tsukata <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 33d4a5a7a5b4d02915d765064b2319e90a11cbde ]

Setting invalid value to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/hotplug/fail
can control `struct cpuhp_step *sp` address, results in the following
global-out-of-bounds read.

Reproducer:

# echo -2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hotplug/fail

KASAN report:

BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in write_cpuhp_fail+0x2cd/0x2e0
Read of size 8 at addr ffffffff89734438 by task bash/1941

CPU: 0 PID: 1941 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.2.0-rc6+ #31
Call Trace:

RIP: 0033:0x7f05e4f4c970

The buggy address belongs to the variable:
cpu_hotplug_lock+0x98/0xa0

Memory state around the buggy address:
ffffffff89734300: fa fa fa fa 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
ffffffff89734380: fa fa fa fa 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
>ffffffff89734400: 00 00 00 00 fa fa fa fa 00 00 00 00 fa fa fa fa
^
ffffffff89734480: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
ffffffff89734500: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Add a sanity check for the value written from user space.
