[PATCH] x86: Fix potential overflow in perfctr reservation
While reviewing this code again I found a potential overflow of the bitmap. The p4 oprofile can theoretically set bits beyond the reservation bitmap for specific configurations. Avoid that by sizing the bitmaps properly. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
