When a CPU goes offline a potentially pending timer interrupt is not
cleared. When the CPU comes online again then the pending interrupt is
delivered before the per cpu clockevent device is initialized. As a
consequence the tick interrupt handler dereferences a NULL pointer.
[ 51.251378] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000040
[ 51.289348] task: ee942d00 task.stack: ee960000
[ 51.293861] PC is at tick_periodic+0x38/0xb0
[ 51.298102] LR is at tick_handle_periodic+0x1c/0x90
Clear the pending interrupt in the cpu dying path.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
