[for-linus][PATCH 03/16] ring-buffer: Do not show buffer_meta for CPUs without a buffer

[Steven Rostedt]

From: David Carlier <devnexen@xxxxxxxxx>

The per_cpu/cpuN/buffer_meta files are created for every possible CPU,
but buffer->buffers[cpu] is only allocated once that CPU comes online.
Reading the file of a CPU that never came online dereferences a NULL
cpu_buffer in rbm_start().

Fail the open with -ENODEV when the CPU has no buffer, as the other
per CPU ring buffer interfaces do.
