[PATCH v3 2/3] perf: make build_cpu_topology skip offline/absent CPUs

From: Jan Stancek
Date: Fri Feb 17 2017 - 06:10:46 EST


When build_cpu_topo() encounters offline/absent CPUs,
it fails to find any sysfs entries and returns failure.
This leads to build_cpu_topology() and write_cpu_topology()
failing as well.

Because HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY has not been written, read leaves
cpu_topology_map NULL and we get NULL ptr deref at:

...
cmd_test
__cmd_test
test_and_print
run_test
test_session_topology
check_cpu_topology

36: Session topology :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 14902
templ file: /tmp/perf-test-4CKocW
failed to write feature HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY

Session topology: FAILED!

This patch makes build_cpu_topology() skip offline/absent CPUs,
by checking their presence against cpu_map built from online CPUs.

Changes in v3:
- make ret = -1 by default, so we fail in case build_cpu_topo
doesn't run at all
