      <title>CVE-2025-71119 — powerpc/kexec: Enable SMT before waking offline CPUs</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-71119</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;powerpc/kexec: Enable SMT before waking offline CPUs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If SMT is disabled or a partial SMT state is enabled, when a new kernel
image is loaded for kexec, on reboot the following warning is observed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;kexec: Waking offline cpu 228.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9062 at arch/powerpc/kexec/core_64.c:223 kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1b0/0x1bc
[snip]
 NIP kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1b0/0x1bc
 LR  kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1a0/0x1bc
 Call Trace:
  kexec_prepare_cpus+0x1a0/0x1bc (unreliable)
  default_machine_kexec+0x160/0x19c
  machine_kexec+0x80/0x88
  kernel_kexec+0xd0/0x118
  __do_sys_reboot+0x210/0x2c4
  system_call_exception+0x124/0x320
  system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This occurs as add_cpu() fails due to cpu_bootable() returning false for
CPUs that fail the cpu_smt_thread_allowed() check or non primary
threads if SMT is disabled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix the issue by enabling SMT and resetting the number of SMT threads to
the number of threads per core, before attempting to wake up all present
CPUs.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
