CVE-2023-53073
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status for idx
The variable 'status' (which contains the unhandled overflow bits) is not being properly masked in some cases, displaying the following warning:
This seems to be happening because the loop is being continued before the status bit being unset, in case x86_perf_event_set_period() returns 0. This is also causing an inconsistency because the "handled" counter is incremented, but the status bit is not cleaned.
Move the bit cleaning together above, together when the "handled" counter is incremented.

Esto también causa una inconsistencia porque el contador \"controlado\" se incrementa, pero el bit de estado no se limpia. Mueva la limpieza de bits junto arriba, junto cuando se incrementa el contador \"controlado\"."
