[PATCH] x86, acpi_cpufreq: Fix the NULL pointer dereference in get_measured_perf
From: Pallipadi, Venkatesh
Date: Wed Apr 15 2009 - 13:37:47 EST
Patch below fixes the problem. Yanmin can you please verify.
Len please push this patch along to linus.
Thanks,
Venki
Fix for a regression that was introduced by earlier commit
commit 18b2646fe3babeb40b34a0c1751e0bf5adfdc64c
Author: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Apr 6 11:26:08 2009 -0700
Regression resulted in the below error happened on systems with
software coordination where per_cpu acpi data will not be initiated for
secondary CPUs in a P-state domain.
