Subject: CVE-2023-52839: drivers: perf: Do not broadcast to other cpus when starting a counter

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drivers: perf: Do not broadcast to other cpus when starting a counter

This command:

$ perf record -e cycles:k -e instructions:k -c 10000 -m 64M dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000

gives rise to this kernel warning:

That's because the fix in commit 3fec323339a4 ("drivers: perf: Fix panic
in riscv SBI mmap support") was wrong since there is no need to broadcast
to other cpus when starting a counter, that's only needed in mmap when
the counters could have already been started on other cpus, so simply
remove this broadcast.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52839 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
