In periodic mode we remove offline cpus from the broadcast propagation mask. In oneshot mode we fail to do so. This was not a problem so far, but the recent changes to the broadcast propagation introduced a constellation which can result in a NULL pointer dereference. What happens is: CPU0 CPU1 idle() arch_idle() tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(OFF); set cpu1 in tick_broadcast_force_mask if (cpu_offline()) arch_cpu_dead() cpu_dead_cleanup(cpu1) cpu1 tickdevice pointer = NULL broadcast interrupt dereference cpu1 tickdevice pointer -> OOPS We dereference the pointer because cpu1 is still set in tick_broadcast_force_mask and tick_do_broadcast() expects a valid cpumask and therefor lacks any further checks. Remove the cpu from the tick_broadcast_force_mask before we set the tick device pointer to NULL. Also add a sanity check to the oneshot broadcast function, so we can detect such issues w/o crashing the machine.
