From 88d4f0db7fa8785859c1d637f9aac210932b6216 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 19:40:51 +0100 Subject: 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.
