From e0d82a0a4e9841b787e6431ccfbb515546c55dc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 21:16:44 +1000 Subject: perf_counter/powerpc: Check oprofile_cpu_type for NULL before using it If the current CPU doesn't support performance counters, cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type can be NULL. The current perf_counter modules don't test for that case and would thus crash at boot time. Bug reported by David Woodhouse.
