Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/pm: Vangogh: Fix kernel memory out of bounds write

KASAN reports that the GPU metrics table allocated in vangogh_tables_init() is not large enough for the memset done in smu_cmn_init_soft_gpu_metrics(). Condensed report follows:

Empirically we can confirm that the former allocates 152 bytes for the table, while the latter memsets the 168 large block.

Root cause appears that when GPU metrics tables for v2_4 parts were added it was not considered to enlarge the table to fit.

The fix in this patch is rather "brute force" and perhaps later should be done in a smarter way, by extracting and consolidating the part version to size logic to a common helper, instead of brute forcing the largest possible allocation. Nevertheless, for now this works and fixes the out of bounds write.

v2: * Drop impossible v3_0 case. (Mario)
