When build_cpu_topo() encounters offline/absent CPUs, it fails to find any sysfs entries and returns failure. This leads to build_cpu_topology() and write_cpu_topology() failing as well.
Because HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY has not been written, read leaves cpu_topology_map NULL and we get NULL ptr deref at: ... cmd_test __cmd_test test_and_print run_test test_session_topology check_cpu_topology # perf test 36 36: Session topology : --- start --- test child forked, pid 14902 templ file: /tmp/perf-test-4CKocW failed to write feature HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY perf: Segmentation fault Obtained 9 stack frames. ./perf(sighandler_dump_stack+0x41) [0x5095f1] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x35250) [0x7f4b7c3c9250] ./perf(test_session_topology+0x1db) [0x490ceb] ./perf() [0x475b68] ./perf(cmd_test+0x5b9) [0x4763c9] ./perf() [0x4945a3] ./perf(main+0x69f) [0x427e8f] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f4b7c3b5b35] ./perf() [0x427fb9] test child interrupted ---- end ---- Session topology: FAILED! This patch makes build_cpu_topology() skip offline/absent CPUs, by checking their presence against cpu_map built from online CPUs.
