During a perf session we try to allocate buffers on the "node" associated
with the CPU the event is bound to. If it is not bound to a CPU, we
use the current CPU node, using smp_processor_id(). However this is
unsafe
in a pre-emptible context and could generate the splats as below :

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: perf/2544

Use NUMA_NO_NODE hint instead of using the current node for events
not bound to CPUs.

I've queued this for 4.9-4.19. There was a simple conflict on 4.9 which
also had to be resolved.



Thanks Sasha !

Note, these had to all be dropped as they broke the build :(

So can you please send us patches that at least build? :)


Do you have a build failure log ? I did build test it before sending it
over. I tried it again on 4.9, 4.14 and 4.19. I don't hit any build
failures here.

Please could you share the log if you have it handy ?

It was in the stable -rc review emails, I don't have it handy, sorry.


I think there is a bit of confusion here. If you're referring to

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/11/634

as the build failure report, this is precisely my series fixes.
I sent this series to address the build break reported by Nathan.
The original patches were picked up from the "Fixes" tag automatically
which broke the build due to missing "event" parameter. This series
fixes those build issues and for sure builds fine for the affected
versions. Trust me ;-)

Cheers
Suzuki
