This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf/core: Fix perf_output_begin parameter is incorrectly invoked in perf_event_bpf_output to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-core-fix-perf_output_begin-parameter-is-incorre.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit aac26468d232afc47b8ea8b7300f20b97ad5ed4c Author: Yang Jihong <yangjihong1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 14 04:47:35 2023 +0000 perf/core: Fix perf_output_begin parameter is incorrectly invoked in perf_event_bpf_output [ Upstream commit eb81a2ed4f52be831c9fb879752d89645a312c13 ] syzkaller reportes a KASAN issue with stack-out-of-bounds.

However, perf_event_bpf_output uses incorrect parameter to convert small-sized data (struct perf_bpf_event) into large-sized data (struct perf_sample_data), which causes memory overwriting occurs in __perf_event_header__init_id.
