This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    coresight: tmc-etr: Do not call smp_processor_id() from preemptible

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: coresight: tmc-etr: Do not call smp_processor_id() from preemptible

During a perf session we try to allocate buffers on the "node" associated
with the CPU the event is bound to. If it's not bound to a CPU, we use
the current CPU node, using smp_processor_id(). However this is unsafe
in a pre-emptible context and could generate the splats as below :

 BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: perf/1743
 caller is alloc_etr_buf.isra.6+0x80/0xa0

Use NUMA_NO_NODE hint instead of using the current node for events
not bound to CPUs.
