Hi Suzuki,

If a CPU is offline during the driver init, we could end up causing a kernel crash trying to register the coresight device for the TRBE instance.
Which pointer deference fails here exactly ?
static void arm_trbe_register_coresight_cpu(struct trbe_drvdata *drvdata, int cpu) { struct trbe_cpudata *cpudata = per_cpu_ptr(drvdata->cpudata, cpu); struct coresight_device *trbe_csdev = coresight_get_percpu_sink(cpu); struct coresight_desc desc = { 0 }; struct device *dev;
if (WARN_ON(trbe_csdev)) return; dev = &cpudata->drvdata->pdev->dev; <---- Fails herecpudata->drvdata link gets established in arm_trbe_probe_cpu() which would not have run on an offline cpu.
Yes, that is correct.
e.g:
Should probably also mention the exact point of dereference failure before this error message here.

Fix this by skipping the step, if we are unable to probe the CPU.

Although I guess the following addition might be worthwhile just to highlight the fact that cpudata->drvdata is not valid unless the cpu has gone through arm_trbe_probe_cpu() first.

Ok, I would rather return here with the warning. I will send a revision.
Thanks !
