Subject: Re: [PATCH] platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Prevent possibile overflow

Hi David,

Your patch fixes the out of bound issue, but I have another concern 
regarding possible incomplete initialization of first 8 elements of the 
lpm_priority array that is declared on the stack and is not initialized, 
say, with zeroes. Yet again due to some invalid values coming from the 
register, it is not guaranteed that something meaningful will be 
assigned for all first 8 elements of lpm_priority in the first cycle in 
pmc_core_get_low_power_modes(). In the second cycle this function 
accesses all these elements from lpm_priority. Though there is test 
"!(BIT(mode) & lpm_en)", it can pass accidentally, thus some unexpected 
values can be stored to "pmcdev->lpm_en_modes[i++]" and exposed later.


Best regards,
Evgeny Novikov
