That is expected. What else do you expect ?

That is a pointless and terribly wrong check. What if you have only 2
online CPUs (CPU0 and CPU4) and you were processing the ETM for CPU4 ?

More over you should simply let the driver handle a case where the CPU
is not online. May be the driver could register a hotplug notifier and
bring itself up when the CPU comes online.

So, please drop this patch.

Kind regards
Suzuki
