SubjectRe: [PATCH] x86/perf: Fixed kernel panic during boot on Nano processor.
From
Date
Dear Mingo and Peter,

Thank you for taking your precious time to read this letter, I am very
graterful.


Last month, I fixed the bug that boot failed on Nano processor which
introduced by

"Fixes: 3a4ac121c2ca ("x86/perf: Add hardware performance events support
for Zhaoxin CPU.")"

with Arjan's help and submitted this patch.  But I haven't got back.
Greatly appreciate if you could kindly

check it and reply at your convenience.

Many Thanks!

Cody
