recalculate_apic_map does not santize ldr and it's possible that multiple bits are set. In that case, a previous valid entry can potentially be overwritten by an invalid one. This condition is hit when booting a 32 bit, >8 CPU, RHEL6 guest and then triggering a crash to boot a kdump kernel. This is the sequence of events: 1. Linux boots in bigsmp mode and enables PhysFlat, however, it still writes to the LDR which probably will never be used. 2. However, when booting into kdump, the stale LDR values remain as they are not cleared by the guest and there isn't a apic reset. 3. kdump boots with 1 cpu, and uses Logical Destination Mode but the logical map has been overwritten and points to an inactive vcpu.

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.
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.
