perf evsel: Do not access outside hw cache name arrays We have to check if the values are >= *_MAX, not just >, fix it. From the bugzilla report: ''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer. The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if (!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the buffer. It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to execute the code with a maximum type value.''
