Subject: [PATCH 2/5] perf tools kvm: Fix the potential out of range memory access issue
Date: Tue,  5 Aug 2025 08:46:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250805004633.135904-3-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250805004633.135904-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>

kvm_add_default_arch_event() helper may add 2 extra options but it
directly modifies the original argv[] array. This may cause out of range
memory access. Fix this issue.
