Subject: [PATCH 4.14 31/34] perf/x86/intel: Fix memory corruption

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit ede271b059463731cbd6dffe55ffd70d7dbe8392 upstream.

Through:

  validate_event()
    x86_pmu.get_event_constraints(.idx=-1)
      tfa_get_event_constraints()
        dyn_constraint()

cpuc->constraint_list[-1] is used, which is an obvious out-of-bound access.

In this case, simply skip the TFA constraint code, there is no event
constraint with just PMC3, therefore the code will never result in the
empty set.

Fixes: 400816f60c54 ("perf/x86/intel: Implement support for TSX Force Abort")
