Hi Lianbo, Tao

When the ELF Note does not contain CPU registers,
attempting to retrieve online CPU registers will cause a crash.

After:
CPU 6:
help: registers not collected for cpu 6
...

I copied the code block here:

        Elf32_Nhdr *note32;
        Elf64_Nhdr *note64;

        /*

         * so offline cpus should be skipped.
         */
        if (pc->flags2 & QEMU_MEM_DUMP_ELF)
                skipped_count = 0;
        else {
                for (c = skipped_count = 0; c < cpu; c++) {

                error(INFO, "registers not collected for cpu %d\n", cpu);
                return;
        }

Could you please point out why the above check does not work?

BTW: I'm not sure if it can work for you, can you help to try this? Just a guess.

        if (((cpu < 0 ) || (!dd->nt_prstatus_percpu[cpu]) 

             || (cpu - skipped_count) >= nd->num_prstatus_notes) &&
             !machine_type("MIPS")) {

                error(INFO, "registers not collected for cpu %d\n", cpu);
                return;
        }

Thanks
