[PATCH] ACPI: CPPC: Fix panic caused by NULL pointer dereference
From: Yunhui Cui
Date: Tue Jun 03 2025 - 22:31:16 EST
With nosmp in cmdline, other CPUs are not brought up, leaving
their cpc_desc_ptr NULL. CPU0's iteration via for_each_possible_cpu()
dereferences these NULL pointers, causing panic.
Panic backtrace:
[ 0.401123] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000b8
...
[ 0.403255] [<ffffffff809a5818>] cppc_allow_fast_switch+0x6a/0xd4
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Fixes: 3cc30dd00a58 ("cpufreq: CPPC: Enable fast_switch")
