During a perf session we try to allocate buffers on the "node" associated
with the CPU the event is bound to. If it is not bound to a CPU, we
use the current CPU node, using smp_processor_id(). However this is unsafe
in a pre-emptible context and could generate the splats as below :
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: perf/2544

Use NUMA_NO_NODE hint instead of using the current node for events
not bound to CPUs.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
