Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/intel: Fix KASAN global-out-of-bounds warning
When running "perf mem record" command on CWF, the below KASAN
global-out-of-bounds warning is seen.
==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in cmt_latency_data+0x176/0x1b0
Read of size 4 at addr ffffffffb721d000 by task dtlb/9850
Call Trace:
kasan_report+0xb8/0xf0
cmt_latency_data+0x176/0x1b0
setup_arch_pebs_sample_data+0xf49/0x2560
intel_pmu_drain_arch_pebs+0x577/0xb00
handle_pmi_common+0x6c4/0xc80
The issue is caused by below code in __grt_latency_data(). The code
tries to access x86_hybrid_pmu structure which doesn't exist on
non-hybrid platform like CWF.
WARN_ON_ONCE(hybrid_pmu(event->pmu)->pmu_type == hybrid_big)
So add is_hybrid() check before calling this WARN_ON_ONCE to fix the
global-out-of-bounds access issue.
