Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status for idx<br />
<br />
The variable &#39;status&#39; (which contains the unhandled overflow bits) is<br />
not being properly masked in some cases, displaying the following<br />
warning:<br />
<br />
WARNING: CPU: 156 PID: 475601 at arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:972 amd_pmu_v2_handle_irq+0x216/0x270<br />
<br />
This seems to be happening because the loop is being continued before<br />
the status bit being unset, in case x86_perf_event_set_period()<br />
returns 0. This is also causing an inconsistency because the "handled"<br />
counter is incremented, but the status bit is not cleaned.<br />
<br />
Move the bit cleaning together above, together when the "handled"<br />
counter is incremented.
