[PATCH][next] perf tests: fix out of bounds access on array fd when cnt is 100

From: Colin King
Date: Wed Mar 14 2018 - 13:34:10 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently when cnt is 100 an array bounds overflow occurs on the assignment
of fd[cnt]. Fix this by performing the bounds check on cnt before writing
to fd.

Detected by cppcheck:
tools/perf/tests/bp_account.c:115: (warning) Either the condition
'cnt==100' is redundant or the array 'fd[100]' is accessed at index 100,
which is out of bounds.

Fixes: 032db28e5fa3 ("perf tests: Add breakpoint accounting/modify test")
