i == zero  (ok)
c points to some kernel looking address
hwc->idx is 64

     /* fastpath, try to reuse previous register */
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                hwc = &box->event_list[i]->hw;
                c = hwc->constraint;

                /* never assigned */
                if (hwc->idx == -1)
                        break;

                /* constraint still honored */
                if (!test_bit(hwc->idx, c->idxmsk))
                        break;

My best bet is something goes wrong in uncore_pmu_to_box or
uncore_event_to_pmu in hte caller, so the box is bogus.

Did the test do CPU hot plug?

BTW i don't think it's a security issue because the uncore driver
is only accesible for root.
