Fix this # crash by checking if ppmu is set. # # Fixes: 2ca13a4cc56c ("powerpc/perf: Use regs->nip when SIAR is zero") # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.11+ # Reported-by: Christophe Leroy # Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev # Tested-by: Christophe Leroy # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1623952506-1431-1-git-send-email-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 60b7ed54a41b550d50caf7f2418db4a7e75b5bdc # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=microblaze O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux- mmu_defconfig # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=microblaze O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux- help # make -s -j 120 ARCH=microblaze O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 120 ARCH=microblaze O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-microblaze-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/microblazeel-linux- Kernel: arch/microblaze/boot/linux.bin is ready (#1) Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mmu_defconfig_microblaze # Build took: 0:00:34.715520
