We use "pmc->idx" and the "chained" bitmap to determine if the pmc is chained, in kvm_pmu_pmc_is_chained(). But idx might be uninitialized (and random) when we doing this decision, through a KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl -> kvm_pmu_vcpu_reset(). And the test_bit() against this random idx will potentially hit a KASAN BUG [1]. In general, idx is the static property of a PMU counter that is not expected to be modified across resets, as suggested by Julien. It looks more reasonable if we can setup the PMU counter idx for a vcpu in its creation time. Introduce a new function - kvm_pmu_vcpu_init() for this basic setup. Oh, and the KASAN BUG will get fixed this way.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
