[PATCH 1/8] perf/x86/intel: Fix memory corruption

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Mar 14 2019 - 09:12:07 EST


Through:

validate_event()
x86_pmu.get_event_constraints(.idx=-1)
tfa_get_event_constraints()
dyn_constraint()

We use cpuc->constraint_list[-1], which is an obvious out-of-bound
access.

In this case, simply skip the TFA constraint code, there is no event
constraint with just PMC3, therefore the code will never result in the
empty set.
