As suggested by Marc and Lorenzo, first we need to check whether the platform_timer entry pointer is within gtdt bounds (< gtdt_end) before de-referencing what it points at to detect the length of the platform timer struct and then check that the length of current platform_timer struct is also valid, i.e. the length is not zero and within gtdt_end. Now next_platform_timer() only checks against gtdt_end for the entry of subsequent platform timer without checking the length of it and will not report error if the check failed and the existing check in function acpi_gtdt_init() is also not enough. Modify the for_each_platform_timer() iterator and use it combined with a dedicated check function platform_timer_valid() to do the check against table length (gtdt_end) for each element of platform timer array in function acpi_gtdt_init(), making sure that both their entry and length actually fit in the table.

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 reStructuredText 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.
