There's no NMI on ARM. Hence, stopping the non-panicking CPUs from the
panicking CPU via IPI can fail easily if interrupts are being masked
in those moment. Moreover, crash_notes are not initialized for such
unstopped CPUs and the corresponding NT_PRSTATUS notes are not
attached to vmcore. However, crash utility never takes it
consideration such uninitialized crash_notes and then ends with
mapping different NT_PRSTATUS to actually unstopped CPUs. This corrupt
mapping can result crash utility into segmentation fault in the
operations where register values in NT_PRSTATUS notes are used.
For example:
crash> bt 1408
PID: 1408 TASK: ffff000003e22200 CPU: 2 COMMAND: "repro"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
crash> help -D
diskdump_data:
filename: 127.0.0.1-2023-05-26-02:21:27/vmcore-ld1
flags: 46
(KDUMP_CMPRS_LOCAL|ERROR_EXCLUDED|LZO_SUPPORTED)
...snip...
notes_buf: 1815df0
num_vmcoredd_notes: 0
num_prstatus_notes: 5
notes[0]: 1815df0 (NT_PRSTATUS)
si.signo: 0 si.code: 0
si.errno: 0
...snip...
PSTATE: 80400005 FPVALID:
00000000
notes[4]: 1808f10 (NT_PRSTATUS)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
To fix this issue, let's map NT_PRSTATUS to some CPU only if the
corresponding crash_notes is checked to be initialized.
