[PATCH 4.4 059/118] bus: arm-ccn: Do not attempt to configure XPs for cycle counter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@xxxxxxx>

commit b7c1beb278e8e3dc664ed3df3fc786db126120a9 upstream.

Fuzzing the CCN perf driver revealed a small but definitely dangerous
mistake in the event setup code. When a cycle counter is requested, the
driver should not reconfigure the events bus at all, otherwise it will
corrupt (in most but the simplest cases) its configuration and may end
up accessing XP array out of its bounds and corrupting control
registers.
