Subject: perf/core: Fix address filter parser
From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e96271f3ed7e702fa36dd0605c0c5b5f065af816 upstream.
The token table passed into match_token() must be null-terminated, which
it currently is not in the perf's address filter string parser, as caught
by Vince's perf_fuzzer and KASAN.
It doesn't blow up otherwise because of the alignment padding of the table
to the next element in the .rodata, which is luck.
Fixing by adding a null-terminator to the token table.
