[for-next][PATCH 02/14] tracing: Fix for non-continuous cpu ids

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Sat Aug 29 2015 - 11:03:09 EST


From: Gil Fruchter <gilf@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently exception occures due to access beyond buffer_iter
range while using index of cpu bigger than num_possible_cpus().
Below there is an example for such exception when we use
cpus 0,1,16,17.

In order to fix buffer allocation size for non-continuous cpu ids
we allocate according to the max cpu id and not according to the
amount of possible cpus.

Example:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/trace
Path: /bin/busybox
CPU: 0 PID: 82 Comm: cat Not tainted 4.0.0 #29
task: 80734c80 ti: 80012000 task.ti: 80012000
