From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d88d05a9e0b6d9356e97129d4ff9942d765f46ea upstream. A repeatable crash can be triggered by the perf_fuzzer on some Haswell system. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7170d3b-c17f-1ded-52aa-cc6d9ae999f4@xxxxxxxxx/ For some old CPUs (HSW and earlier), the PEBS status in a PEBS record may be mistakenly set to 0. To minimize the impact of the defect, the commit was introduced to try to avoid dropping the PEBS record for some cases. It adds a check in the intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm(), and updates the local pebs_status accordingly. However, it doesn't correct the PEBS status in the PEBS record, which may trigger the crash, especially for the large PEBS. It's possible that all the PEBS records in a large PEBS have the PEBS status 0. If so, the first get_next_pebs_record_by_bit() in the __intel_pmu_pebs_event() returns NULL. The at = NULL. Since it's a large PEBS, the 'count' parameter must > 1. The second get_next_pebs_record_by_bit() will crash. Besides the local pebs_status, correct the PEBS status in the PEBS record as well.
