[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/apic: include the LDR when clearing out apic registers
From: Bandan Das
Date: Mon Aug 26 2019 - 06:15:58 EST
Although apic initialization will typically clear out the LDR before
setting it, the apic cleanup code should reset the LDR.
This was discovered with a 32 bit kvm guest loading the kdump kernel.
Stale bits in the LDR exposed a bug in the kvm lapic code that creates
logical destination maps for vcpus. If multiple bits are set, kvm
could potentially overwrite a valid logical destination with an
invalid one.
Note that this fix isn't intended to paper over the kvm lapic bug;
clear_local_APIC() should correctly clear out any set bits in the LDR
when resetting apic registers.
