The size of the cache of register values is arch-dependant (PERF_REGS_MAX). This has the potential of causing an out-of-bounds access in the function "perf_reg_value" if the local architecture contains less registers than the one the perf.data file was recorded on. Since the maximum number of registers is bound by the bitmask "u64 cache_mask", and the size of the cache when running under x86 systems is 64 already, fix the size to 64 and add a range-check to the function "perf_reg_value" to prevent out-of-bounds access.

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.
