Subject: [PATCH][OPROFILE] x86: Use for_each_possible_cpu to allocate msrs (was [PATCH] x86: fix oprofile double free (was Re: Multiple free during oprofile unload))
Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 23:24:27 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070531022427.GA21633@ghostprotocols.net> (raw)

The fix for the fix needed a fix: allocate_msrs() was using
for_each_online_cpu(), but nmi_setup uses for_each_possible_cpu(), and
in my test machine, a Dell Poweredge 1950 I have 2 dual core Xeons,
which makes for 4 possible cores, but wait, they are HT capable, so...

[acme@mica linux-2.6.21.3.orig]$ dmesg | grep Allowing
SMP: Allowing 8 CPUs, 4 hotplug CPUs
[acme@mica linux-2.6.21.3.orig]$

We have 8 possible CPUs, but only 4 online, b00m. Fix it by making
allocate_msrs agree with nmi_setup, i.e. make both use
for_each_possible_cpu().
