From 6bd054096dce061560cee0e016e292e588dc438f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2011 18:16:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7185/1: perf: don't assign platform_device on unsupported CPUs In the unlikely case that a platform registers a PMU platform_device when running on a CPU that is unsupported by perf, we will encounter a NULL dereference when trying to assign the platform_device to the cpu_pmu structure. This patch checks that the CPU is supported by perf before assigning the platform_device.
