Thanks a bunch, and ugh, this is embarrassing.

Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix address filter parser

The token table passed into match_token() must be null-terminated, which
it currently is not in the perf's address filter string parser, as caught
by Vince's perf_fuzzer and KASAN. It doesn't blow up otherwise because of
the alignment padding of the table to the next element in the .rodata,
which is luck.

Fixing by adding a null-terminator to the token table.
