Subject: perf: Fix alloc_callchain_buffers()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=88d4f0db7fa8785859c1d637f9aac210932b6216;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

perf: Fix alloc_callchain_buffers()

Commit 927c7a9e92c4 ("perf: Fix race in callchains") introduced
a mismatch in the sizing of struct callchain_cpus_entries.

nr_cpu_ids must be used instead of num_possible_cpus(), or we
might get out of bound memory accesses on some machines.
