Subject[PATCH 4.9 12/25] perf header: Fix handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

commit 8434a2ec13d5c8cb25716950bfbf7c9d7b64628a upstream.

In commit daeecbc0c431 ("perf tools: Add event_update event scale type"), the
handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE cast struct event_update_event->data to a
pointer to event_update_event_scale, uses some field from this casted struct
and then ends up falling through to the handling of another event type,
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS were it casts that ev->data to yet another type, oops,
fix it by inserting the missing break.

Noticed when building perf using gcc 7 on Fedora Rawhide:

util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__process_event_update':
util/header.c:3207:16: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
evsel->scale = ev_scale->scale;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
util/header.c:3208:2: note: here
case PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS:
^~~~

This wasn't noticed because probably PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS comes after
PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE, so we would just create a bogus evsel->own_cpus when
processing a PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE to then leak it and create a new cpu map
with the correct data.
