Hi,
I am seeing the attached crash when running a realview-pb-a8 image with realview_defconfig in qemu.
bisect wasn't successful, but a commit analysis identified commit 'drivers/perf: arm_pmu: make info
messages more verbose' as the culprit. Reverting this commit fixes the problem.
The code roughly looks as follows.
int arm_pmu_device_probe()
{
...
if (node && ..) {
} else {
}
if (ret) {
pr_info("%s: failed to probe PMU! Error %i\n",
node->full_name, ret);
goto out_free;
}
....
out_free:
pr_info("%s: failed to register PMU devices! Error %i\n",
node->full_name, ret);
....
}
Note that 'node' is dereferenced even though it was previously checked if it is NULL.
The configuration I am testing does not use devicetree.
Can you use dev_info() instead ?
Thanks,
Guenter
