[patch 005/164] oprofile/x86: fix uninitialized counter usage during cpu hotplug

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Jul 01 2010 - 18:24:18 EST

2.6.33-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@xxxxxxx>

commit 2623a1d55a6260c855e1f6d1895900b50b40a896 upstream.

This fixes a NULL pointer dereference that is triggered when taking a
cpu offline after oprofile was initialized, e.g.:

$ opcontrol --init
$ opcontrol --start-daemon
$ opcontrol --shutdown
$ opcontrol --deinit
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

See the crash dump below. Though the counter has been disabled the cpu
notifier is still active and trying to use already freed counter data.

This fix is for linux-stable. To proper fix this, the hotplug code
must be rewritten. Thus I will leave a WARN_ON_ONCE() message with
this patch.
