commit b08472db93b1ccff84a7adec5779d47f0e9d3a30 upstream.
A NULL pointer dereference was observed in the AMD64 AGP driver when
running in a virtualized environment (e.g. qemu/kvm) without a physical
AMD northbridge. The crash occurs in amd64_fetch_size() when attempting
to dereference the pointer returned by node_to_amd_nb(0).
The root cause of this crash is broken error propagation in
agp_amd64_probe(): When no AMD northbridges are found, cache_nbs()
correctly returns -ENODEV. However, the probe function erroneously
checks the return value against exactly -1, rather than < 0.
As a result, the hardware absence error is masked, allowing the driver
to improperly proceed with initialization. It eventually calls
agp_add_bridge(), which invokes amd64_fetch_size(). Since the hardware
does not exist, node_to_amd_nb(0) returns NULL, leading to a General
Protection Fault (GPF) when accessing its ->misc member.
Fix the issue by correcting the error check in agp_amd64_probe() to
abort properly when cache_nbs() returns any negative error code. This
prevents the driver from erroneously proceeding without hardware, thereby
avoiding the subsequent NULL pointer dereference at its source.

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.
