This feature doesn't come from Android. The perf events subsystem in the
mainline kernel is packed full of vulnerabilities too. The problem is so
bad that pointing one of the public fuzzers at it for a short period of
time is all that's required to start finding them.

Qualcomm's drivers might be lower quality than core kernel code, but
they're way above the baseline set by mainline kernel drivers...

Shining the same light on mainline drivers wouldn't be pretty. The work
going into hardening the Qualcomm drivers isn't happening upstream to
any comparable extent.
