-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Chris Wright Chuck reports that the recent fix from Andi to oprofile 6c977aad03a18019015035958c65b6729cd0574c introduces a double free. Each cpu's cpu_msrs is setup to point to cpu 0's, which causes free_msrs to free cpu 0's pointers for_each_possible_cpu. Rather than copy the pointers, do a deep copy instead.
