In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
coresight: tmc: add the handle of the event to the path
The handle is essential for retrieving the AUX_EVENT of each CPU and is
required in perf mode. It has been added to the coresight_path so that
dependent devices can access it from the path when needed.
The existing bug can be reproduced with:
perf record -e cs_etm//k -C 0-9 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
Showing an oops as follows:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000f6e84934ed19e
Call trace:
