As mentioned in the commit, we have 2 types of PMU here: 1) PMUs locate on SCCL (Super CPU Cluster *), associated with certain CCL(CPU cluster *)(e.g. L3C PMU) or not (e.g. DDRC PMU) 2) PMUs locate on the SICL (Super IO Cluster *), which has no association with certain CPU topology (e.g. CPA PMU) Currently we find associated CPUs in the cpuhp callbacks by comparing the CPU's MPIDR with the PMU's SCCL ID and CCL ID. This will be fine for type 1) PMUs but not for type 2) PMUs since no CPU will match a SICL ID. We do a trick here, make type 2) PMUs's SCCL to -1 and match all the CPUs. So in fact type 2) PMUs are already associated with online CPUs but in an implicit way. With this patch the behaviour will be more clear. Another thing is about NUMA locality. Usually for type 2) PMUs they maybe on different NUMA node which is not considered in current approach, all SICL PMUs are stacked on CPU0. With the patch the NUMA node information will be considered if provided by the firmware.

This function will be called in hisi_pmu_init() in the module init stage so the cpu_online_mask() should be populated, at least the current running CPU is contained. The hisi_pmu->associated_cpus will be used along with the online CPU checking in cpuhp callbacks so we're unlikely to use an offline CPU mistakenly. Checked cpumask_local_spread() and it also use the cpu_online_mask directly without synchronization against cpuhp process, so it also should be ok here. Please correct my if any cases I missed.

You failed to convince me that copying the online mask is safe, but I haven't had time to look into that in more depth myself. Saying "It should be safe" isn't really enough -- it _must_ be safe!

Accessing cpu_online_mask itself is safe since it's a piece of static memory. We'll initialize the hisi_pmu::associated_cpus from cpu_online_mask in the below cases. For other cases the associated CPUs is initalized in the cpuhp callback and we won't come here. 1) for a PMU does have associated CPUs like L3C PMU, but the associcated CPUs not onlined at probe 2) for a PMU has no association like CPA PMU which locates on a SICL. Before this patch this kind of PMU'associated CPUs are initliazed in the cpuhp callbacks For the above 2 cases it is safe since the driver's not using hisi_pmu::assoicated_cpus directly but combined with cpu_online_masks. PMU indicates the user the preferred CPU to open events on by "cpumask" sysfs which shows hisi_pmu::on_cpu. It's initialized/updated in: 1) hisi_pmu_init_associated_cpus() by cpumask_local_spread() which tries to found a nearest CPU of the node that the device locates 2) cpuhp callbacks we registered where holds the cpumap upate lock. Actually we allow hisi_pmu::associated_cpus contains offline CPUs which is also mentioned in the commit. Based on above it's safe to use the cpu_online_mask here. But I find one case doesn't covered by this patch - if boot with maxcpus=1, offline CPU X and offline CPU0 (both are not assocaited CPUs), hisi_pmu::on_cpu will not be updated. Since hisi_pmu::associated_cpus won't be updated when onlining an unassociated CPU and hisi_pmu::on_cpu is selected from the intersection of the associated CPUs and the online CPUs, the intersection will be empty in this case. I'll see how to handle in this case and update the patch. Thanks.
