Subject: [ 04/13] hw_breakpoint: Use cpu_possible_mask in {reserve,release}_bp_slot()

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

commit c790b0ad23f427c7522ffed264706238c57c007e upstream.

fetch_bp_busy_slots() and toggle_bp_slot() use
for_each_online_cpu(), this is obviously wrong wrt cpu_up() or
cpu_down(), we can over/under account the per-cpu numbers.

For example:

	# echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	# perf record -e mem:0x10 -p 1 &
	# echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	# perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -C1 -a &
	# taskset -p 0x2 1

triggers the same WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint slot") in
arch_install_hw_breakpoint().
