Re: [Crash-utility] [PATCH 1/2] diskdump/netdump: fix segmentation fault caused by failure of stopping CPUs

There's no NMI on ARM. Hence, stopping the non-panicking CPUs from the panicking CPU via IPI can fail easily if interrupts are being masked in those moment. Moreover, crash_notes are not initialized for such unstopped CPUs and the corresponding NT_PRSTATUS notes are not attached to vmcore. However, crash utility never takes it consideration such uninitialized crash_notes and then ends with mapping different NT_PRSTATUS to actually unstopped CPUs. This corrupt mapping can result crash utility into segmentation fault in the operations where register values in NT_PRSTATUS notes are used. For example: crash> bt 1408 PID: 1408 TASK: ffff000003e22200 CPU: 2 COMMAND: "repro" Segmentation fault (core dumped) crash> help -D diskdump_data: filename: 127.0.0.1-2023-05-26-02:21:27/vmcore-ld1 flags: 46 (KDUMP_CMPRS_LOCAL|ERROR_EXCLUDED|LZO_SUPPORTED) ...snip... notes_buf: 1815df0 num_vmcoredd_notes: 0 num_prstatus_notes: 5 notes[0]: 1815df0 (NT_PRSTATUS) si.signo: 0 si.code: 0 si.errno: 0 ...snip... PSTATE: 80400005 FPVALID: 00000000 notes[4]: 1808f10 (NT_PRSTATUS) Segmentation fault (core dumped) To fix this issue, let's map NT_PRSTATUS to some CPU only if the corresponding crash_notes is checked to be initialized.
