Description

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

memblock: Accept allocated memory before use in memblock_double_array()

When increasing the array size in memblock_double_array() and the slab
is not yet available, a call to memblock_find_in_range() is used to
reserve/allocate memory. However, the range returned may not have been
accepted, which can result in a crash when booting an SNP guest:

secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0x194/0x19b

Mitigate this by calling accept_memory() on the memory range returned
before the slab is available.

Prior to v6.12, the accept_memory() interface used a 'start' and 'end'
parameter instead of 'start' and 'size', therefore the accept_memory()
call must be adjusted to specify 'start + size' for 'end' when applying
to kernels prior to v6.12.
