Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> um: init cpu_tasks[] earlier<br /> <br /> This is currently done in uml_finishsetup(), but e.g. with<br /> KCOV enabled we&amp;#39;ll crash because some init code can call<br /> into e.g. memparse(), which has coverage annotations, and<br /> then the checks in check_kcov_mode() crash because current<br /> is NULL.<br /> <br /> Simply initialize the cpu_tasks[] array statically, which<br /> fixes the crash. For the later SMP work, it seems to have<br /> not really caused any problems yet, but initialize all of<br /> the entries anyway.
