[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Skip discovery table for offline dies

From: Sasha Levin

Date: Mon Apr 20 2026 - 11:57:56 EST


From: Zide Chen <zide.chen@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7b568e9eba2fad89a696f22f0413d44cf4a1f892 ]

This warning can be triggered if NUMA is disabled and the system
boots with fewer CPUs than the number of CPUs in die 0.

WARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 7257 at uncore.c:1157 uncore_pci_pmu_register+0x136/0x160 [intel_uncore]

Currently, the discovery table continues to be parsed even if all CPUs
in the associated die are offline. This can lead to an array overflow
at "pmu->boxes[die] = box" in uncore_pci_pmu_register(), which may
trigger the warning above or cause other issues.
