 I re-think about the code change, it seems to me the variable 'j'
 doesn't make any sense here.
 nt_ptr = (void **)GETBUF(size);
 BCOPY(nd->nt_prstatus_percpu, nt_ptr, size);
 BZERO(nd->nt_prstatus_percpu, size);
 The data of nt_ptr buffer is copied from nd->nt_prstatus_percpu
 buffer, then nd->nt_prstatus_percpu buffer is cleared. If cpu 0 1 2 4
 is online and 3 is offline, nd->nt_prstatus_percpu[4] = nt_ptr[3];
 that is, copy the original cpu3's info into current cpu4's buf. This
 cpu shift operation doesn't make any sense to me,
 nd->nt_prstatus_percpu[4] = nt_ptr[4] should make sense in this case.
 By searching the code, I didn't see nd->nt_prstatus_percpu[cpu] except
 for any cpu shifts.
 However I cannot find out the git history of why variable 'j' was
 introduced. So this patch looks correct to me, though I haven't run
 the overall regression test against it. What's your opinion on the
 variable 'j'? In addition, I can do a regression test if needed.
 @Lianbo Jiang
 
The variable 'j' was introduced into crash utility with the related ppc64
patch changes together, however this changed the corresponding relationship
between the cpu and nt_prstatus_percpu[], in addition, the
num_prstatus_notes was also changed(only include online cpus' notes).
For ppc64, it has a fadump case, which does not depend on the crash_notes.
I guess we can not remove it simply, and need to consider it more:
[1] why did the num_prstatus_notes need to be changed?
[2] why did we copy the values of nt_prstatus_percpu[] to another array
nt_ptr instead of changing the values on it directly? Can the variable
'nt_ptr' be dropped?
[3] how to handle the code related to this?
There is another similar code in diskdump.c, which seems need to be
 updated as well.
 
It's true. I also saw the similar code in ppc.
Thanks
Lianbo
