Subject[PATCH v3] perf/x86/amd/uncore: Use kcalloc*() instead of kzalloc*()
Date
This is an effort to get rid of all multiplications from allocation
functions in order to prevent integer overflows [1].

Here the multiplication is obviously safe. However, using kcalloc*()
is more appropriate [2] and improves readability. This patch has no
effect on runtime behavior.

Hi,

This is a new try. In the v2 version Ingo explained that this change
is nonsense since kzalloc() is a perfectly usable interface and there
is no real overflow here.

Anyway, if we have the 2-factor form of the allocator, I think it is
a good practice to use it.

In this version I have updated the commit message to explain that
the code is obviusly safe in contrast with the last version where the
impression was given that there was a real overlow bug.

I hope this patch can be applied this time.

Regards,
Erick
