[PATCH V3 1/2] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Skip discovery table for offline dies

From: Zide Chen

Date: Thu Jan 15 2026 - 22:18:36 EST


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.
