A crash happened when testing cpu hotplug with respect to the memory mapped ring buffers. It was assumed that the hot plug code was adding a per CPU buffer that was already created that caused the crash. The real problem was due to ref counting and was fixed by commit2cf9733891("ring-buffer: Fix refcount setting of boot mapped buffers"). When a per CPU buffer is created, it will not be created again even with CPU hotplug, so the fix to not use CPU hotplug was a red herring. In fact, it caused only the boot CPU buffer to be created, leaving the other CPU per CPU buffers disabled. Revert that change as it was not the culprit of the fix it was intended to be.

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 reStructuredText 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.
