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

bpf: Fix bpf_get_smp_processor_id() on !CONFIG_SMP

On x86-64 calling bpf_get_smp_processor_id() in a kernel with CONFIG_SMP disabled can trigger the following bug, as pcpu_hot is unavailable:

[ 8.471774] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000936a290c [ 8.471849] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 8.471881] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

Fix by inlining a return 0 in the !CONFIG_SMP case.
