From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx> commit 730766bae3280a25d40ea76a53dc6342e84e6513 upstream. 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/2544 Use NUMA_NO_NODE hint instead of using the current node for events not bound to CPUs.
