[PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: annotate struct kvm_x86_pmu_event_filter with __counted_by()
From: Carlos López
Date: Thu Feb 12 2026 - 09:10:45 EST
struct kvm_x86_pmu_event_filter has a flexible array member, so annotate
it with the field that describes the amount of entries in such array.
Opportunistically replace the open-coded array size calculation with
flex_array_size() when copying the array portion of the struct from
userspace.
