perf/x86/intel/uncore: Make sure only uncore events are collected
commit af91568e upstream. The uncore_collect_events functions assumes that event group might contain only uncore events which is wrong, because it might contain any type of events. This bug leads to uncore framework touching 'not' uncore events, which could end up all sorts of bugs. One was triggered by Vince's perf fuzzer, when the uncore code touched breakpoint event private event space as if it was uncore event and caused BUG: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff82822068 IP: [<ffffffff81020338>] uncore_assign_events+0x188/0x250 ... The code in uncore_assign_events() function was looking for event->hw.idx data while the event was initialized as a breakpoint with different members in event->hw union. This patch forces uncore_collect_events() to collect only uncore events.
