[PATCH 3/9] perf/arm_cspmu: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation from stack

From: Dawei Li
Date: Tue Apr 02 2024 - 07:00:11 EST


For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask
variable on stack is not recommended since it can cause potential stack
overflow.

Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate
cpumask var in config- neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

Use *cpumask_var API(s) to address it.
