[PATCH] alpha: perf: fix out-of-bounds array access triggered from raw event

From: Will Deacon
Date: Tue Sep 10 2013 - 05:58:53 EST


Vince's perf fuzzer uncovered the following issue on Alpha:

This is due to the raw event encoding being used as an index directly
into the ev67_mapping array, rather than being validated against the
ev67_pmc_event_type enumeration instead. Unlike other architectures,
which allow raw events to propagate into the hardware counters with
little interference, the limited number of events on Alpha and the
strict event <-> counter relationships mean that raw events actually
correspond to the Linux-specific Alpha events, rather than anything
defined by the architecture.

This patch adds a new callback to alpha_pmu_t for validating the raw
event encoding with the Linux event types for the PMU, preventing the
out-of-bounds array access.
