Customer Impact
NativeAot-compiled apps that use server GC would intermittently corrupt memory and crash on 80 core Ampere machines running Windows 11/Windows Server 2022. In particular, that affects our NativeAot-compiled crossgen2 compiler under the default execution environment.
Non-NativeAot compiled apps that use server GC would corrupt memory by using an uninitialized stack variable as an index in the native array. That would happen only under non-default execution environment, e.g., when setting
DOTNET_PROCESSOR_COUNT=100andDOTNET_GCNoAffinitize=1.Risk
Low. This change just adds minor validation to GC initialization code.
