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

    coresight: tmc-etr: alloc_perf_buf: Do not call smp_processor_id from

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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.

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

Subject: coresight: tmc-etr: alloc_perf_buf: 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 is 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 tmc_alloc_etr_buffer+0x1bc/0x1f0
 CPU: 1 PID: 1743 Comm: perf Not tainted 5.1.0-rc6-147786-g116841e #344

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