This is a request to backport upstream cpuidle bugfix for a memory corruption
d52356e7f48e powerpc: fix memory corruption by pnv_alloc_idle_core_states
Space allocated for paca is based off nr_cpu_ids, but
pnv_alloc_idle_core_states()
iterates paca with cpu_nr_cores()*threads_per_core, which is using NR_CPUS.
This causes pnv_alloc_idle_core_states() to write over memory, which is
outside
of paca array and may later lead to various panics.
