I think UBSAN has correctly identified a bug.  I looked at the code in
v4.6.  In file arch/x86/events/core.c, in the function
filter_events(), there is a loop starting at line 1554 that should go
over 10 event counters.  But in file arch/x86/events/intel/p6.c, only
8 event counters have been declared at line 9.

I have a fix but do not for sure if its reasonable.  I think we should
pass on the max_events for the pmu to filter_events() function and
change the loop condition accordingly.  Can you apply the patch below
and test again?  It compiles, but I have not tested it.
