Subject: [Patch v6 17/20] perf/x86/intel: Clear raw LBR counters in the LBR stack
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2026 12:32:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106043257.842864-18-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106043257.842864-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>

Raw LBR counters are currently stored in the reserved fields of the LBR
stack even when no LBR event needs them.

If an LBR counter event is present, it clears the raw LBR counters while
processing the stack, but those counters can be leaked to userspace when
no LBR event requires them. Clear the raw LBR counters when no LBR event
uses them.

Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Fixes: 33744916196b ("perf/x86/intel: Support branch counters logging")
