Hello,
-> https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/7/259
I wanted to confirm if this above fix should also go into ARM64 build Or is
ARM64 platform not vulnerable?

It is and I'll push patches to mainline (Will is preparing them).

You'll probably also want the equivalent of
d9f966357b14e356dbd83b8f4a197a287ab4ff83
as well since arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c
has the same overflow in armpmu_map_event that is fixed in the mentioned
commit.
