Subject: [PATCH 4.9 033/120] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix hardcoded socket 0 assumption in the Haswell init code

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

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

From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@...hat.com>

commit 6d6daa20945f3f598e56e18d1f926c08754f5801 upstream.

hswep_uncore_cpu_init() uses a hardcoded physical package id 0 for the boot
cpu. This works as long as the boot CPU is actually on the physical package
0, which is normaly the case after power on / reboot.

But it fails with a NULL pointer dereference when a kdump kernel is started
on a secondary socket which has a different physical package id because the
locigal package translation for physical package 0 does not exist.

Use the logical package id of the boot cpu instead of hard coded 0.

[ tglx: Rewrote changelog once more ]
