CVE-2025-71125
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Do not register unsupported perf events
Synthetic events currently do not have a function to register perf events. This leads to calling the tracepoint register functions with a NULL function pointer which triggers:
Instead, have the code return -ENODEV, which doesn't warn and has perf error out with:
# perf record -e synthetic:futex_wait Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 19 (No such device) for event (synthetic:futex_wait). "dmesg | grep -i perf" may provide additional information.
Ideally perf should support synthetic events, but for now just fix the warning. The support can come later.
