DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40122

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/intel: Fix IA32_PMC_x_CFG_B MSRs access error When running perf_fuzzer on PTL, sometimes the below "unchecked MSR access error" is seen when accessing IA32_PMC_x_CFG_B MSRs.

The root cause of causing this issue is the check for auto counter reload (ACR) counter mask from user space is incorrect in intel_pmu_acr_late_setup() helper. It leads to an invalid ACR counter mask from user space could be set into hw.config1 and then written into CFG_B MSRs and trigger the MSR access warning. e.g., User may create a perf event with ACR counter mask (config2=0xcb), and there is only 1 event created, so "cpuc->n_events" is 1. The correct check condition should be "i + idx >= cpuc->n_events" instead of "i + idx > cpuc->n_events" (it looks a typo). Otherwise, the counter mask would traverse twice and an invalid "cpuc->assign[1]" bit (bit 0) is set into hw.config1 and cause MSR accessing error. Besides, also check if the ACR counter mask corresponding events are ACR events. If not, filter out these counter mask. If a event is not a ACR event, it could be scheduled to an HW counter which doesn't support ACR. It's invalid to add their counter index in ACR counter mask. Furthermore, remove the WARN_ON_ONCE() since it's easily triggered as user could set any invalid ACR counter mask and the warning message could mislead users.
