tools/perf: Fix out of bound access to cpu mask array
The cpu mask init code in "record__mmap_cpu_mask_init" function access
"bits" array part of "struct mmap_cpu_mask". The size of this array is
the value from cpu__max_cpu().cpu. This array is used to contain the
cpumask value for each cpu. While setting bit for each cpu, it calls
"set_bit" function which access index in "bits" array.
If we provide a command line option to -C which is greater than the
number of CPU's present in the system, the set_bit could access an array
member which is out-of the array size. This is because currently, there
is no boundary check for the CPU. This will result in seg fault:
<<>>
./perf record -C 12341234 ls
Perf can support 2048 CPUs. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
<<>>
Debugging with gdb, points to function flow as below:
<<>>
set_bit
record__mmap_cpu_mask_init
record__init_thread_default_masks
record__init_thread_masks
cmd_record
<<>>
Fix this by adding boundary check for the array.
After the patch:
<<>>
./perf record -C 12341234 ls
Perf can support 2048 CPUs. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS
Failed to initialize parallel data streaming masks
<<>>
With this fix, if -C is given a non-exsiting CPU, perf
record will fail with:
<<>>
./perf record -C 50 ls
Failed to initialize parallel data streaming masks
<<>>
