Our Analysis: General-Purpose
Our model has classified this vulnerability as relevant to General-Purpose Systems, helping your team prioritize efforts effectively.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/amlogic: Replace smp_processor_id() with raw_smp_processor_id() in meson_ddr_pmu_create()
The Amlogic DDR PMU driver meson_ddr_pmu_create() function incorrectly uses
smp_processor_id(), which assumes disabled preemption. This leads to kernel
warnings during module loading because meson_ddr_pmu_create() can be called
in a preemptible context.
Following kernel warning and stack trace:

Changes replaces smp_processor_id() with raw_smp_processor_id() to
ensure safe CPU ID retrieval in preemptible contexts.
