perf/amd/ibs: Prevent leaking sensitive data to userspace
Although IBS "swfilt" can prevent leaking samples with kernel RIP to the userspace, there are few subtle cases where a 'data' address and/or a 'branch target' address can fall under kernel address range although RIP is from userspace. Prevent leaking kernel 'data' addresses by discarding such samples when {exclude_kernel=1,swfilt=1}. IBS can now be invoked by unprivileged user with the introduction of "swfilt". However, this creates a loophole in the interface where an unprivileged user can get physical address of the userspace virtual addresses through IBS register raw dump (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). Prevent this as well. This upstream commit fixed the most obvious leak: 65a9926 perf/x86: Check data address for IBS software filter Follow that up with a more complete fix.
