Currently memory is allocated for core-imc based on cpu_present_mask,
which has bit 'cpu' set iff cpu is populated. We use (cpu number / threads
per core) as the array index to access the memory.
Under some circumstances firmware marks a CPU as GUARDed CPU and boot the
system, until cleared of errors, these CPU's are unavailable for all
subsequent boots. GUARDed CPUs are possible but not present from linux
view, so it blows a hole when we assume the max length of our allocation
is driven by our max present cpus, where as one of the cpus might be online
and be beyond the max present cpus, due to the hole.
So (cpu number / threads per core) value bounds the array index and leads
to memory overflow.

Allocating memory for core-imc based on cpu_possible_mask, which has
bit 'cpu' set iff cpu is populatable, will fix this issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
