[PATCH v2 3/3] perf: replace _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF with max_present_cpu in cpu_topology_map

From: Jan Stancek
Date: Mon Feb 13 2017 - 10:36:01 EST


There are 2 problems wrt. cpu_topology_map on systems with sparse CPUs:

1. offline/absent CPUs will have their socket_id and core_id set to -1
which triggers:
"socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool."

2. size of cpu_topology_map (perf_env.cpu[]) is allocated based on
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, but can be indexed with CPU ids going above.
Users of perf_env.cpu[] are using CPU id as index. This can lead
to read beyond what was allocated:
==19991== Invalid read of size 4
==19991== at 0x490CEB: check_cpu_topology (topology.c:69)
==19991== by 0x490CEB: test_session_topology (topology.c:106)
...

For example:
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF == 16
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 6 8 10 16 22 24 26
node 0 size: 12004 MB
node 0 free: 9470 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 7 9 11 23 25 27
node 1 size: 12093 MB
node 1 free: 9406 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 20
1: 20 10

This patch changes HEADER_NRCPUS.nr_cpus_available from _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF
to max_present_cpu and updates any user of cpu_topology_map to iterate
with nr_cpus_avail. As consequence HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY core_id and
socket_id lists get longer, but maintain compatibility with pre-patch
state - index to cpu_topology_map is CPU id.
