powerpc/powernv: IMC fix out of bounds memory access at shutdown
The OPAL IMC driver's shutdown handler disables nest PMU counters by
walking nodes and taking the first CPU out of their cpumask, which is
used to index into the paca (get_hard_smp_processor_id()). This does
not always do the right thing, and in particular for CPU-less nodes it
returns NR_CPUS and that overruns the paca and dereferences random
memory.
Fix it by being more careful about checking returned CPU, and only
using online CPUs. It's not clear this shutdown code makes sense after
commit 885dcd709b ("powerpc/perf: Add nest IMC PMU support"), but this
should not make things worse
Currently the bug causes us to call OPAL with a junk CPU number. A
separate patch in development to change the way pacas are allocated
escalates this bug into a crash:
