      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nACPI: platform_profile: Avoid initializing on non-ACPI platforms\n\nThe platform profile driver is loaded even on platforms that do not have\nACPI enabled. The initialization of the sysfs entries was recently moved\nfrom platform_profile_register() to the module init call, and those\nentries need acpi_kobj to be initialized which is not the case when ACPI\nis disabled.\n\nThis results in the following warning:\n\n WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:131 internal_create_group+0xa22/0xdd8\n Modules linked in:\n CPU: 5 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G        W           6.15.0-rc7-dirty #6 PREEMPT\n Tainted: [W]=WARN\n Hardware name: riscv-virtio,qemu (DT)\n epc : internal_create_group+0xa22/0xdd8\n  ra : internal_create_group+0xa22/0xdd8\n\n Call Trace:\n\n internal_create_group+0xa22/0xdd8\n sysfs_create_group+0x22/0x2e\n platform_profile_init+0x74/0xb2\n do_one_initcall+0x198/0xa9e\n kernel_init_freeable+0x6d8/0x780\n kernel_init+0x28/0x24c\n ret_from_fork+0xe/0x18\n\nFix this by checking if ACPI is enabled before trying to create sysfs\nentries.\n\n[ rjw: Subject and changelog edits ]",
