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

perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix die ID init and look up bugs

In snbep_pci2phy_map_init(), in the nr_node_ids > 8 path,

uncore_device_to_die() may return -1 when all CPUs associated

with the UBOX device are offline.

Remove the WARN_ON_ONCE(die_id == -1) check for two reasons:

- The current code breaks out of the loop. This is incorrect because

pci_get_device() does not guarantee iteration in domain or bus order,

so additional UBOX devices may be skipped during the scan.

- Returning -EINVAL is incorrect, since marking offline buses with

die_id == -1 is expected and should not be treated as an error.

Separately, when NUMA is disabled on a NUMA-capable platform,

pcibus_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE, causing uncore_device_to_die()

to return -1 for all PCI devices. As a result,

spr_update_device_location(), used on Intel SPR and EMR, ignores the

corresponding PMON units and does not add them to the RB tree.

Fix this by using uncore_pcibus_to_dieid(), which retrieves topology

from the UBOX GIDNIDMAP register and works regardless of whether NUMA

is enabled in Linux. This requires snbep_pci2phy_map_init() to be

added in spr_uncore_pci_init().

Keep uncore_device_to_die() only for the nr_node_ids > 8 case, where

NUMA is expected to be enabled.
