Hi Greg,
I was able to reproduce the kernel crash on 4.14, 4.19 and 4.20 kernels. Will apply your patches and re-test.
Thanks, Nelson

4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit ede271b059463731cbd6dffe55ffd70d7dbe8392 upstream.
Through:
validate_event() x86_pmu.get_event_constraints(.idx=-1) tfa_get_event_constraints() dyn_constraint()
cpuc->constraint_list[-1] is used, which is an obvious out-of-bound access.
In this case, simply skip the TFA constraint code, there is no event constraint with just PMC3, therefore the code will never result in the empty set.
