Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd/uncore: Fix memory leak for events array When a CPU comes online, the per-CPU NB and LLC uncore contexts are freed but not the events array within the context structure. This causes a memory leak as identified by the kmemleak detector.
