Subject: [PATCH] perf kvm: fix segfault with default guest arguments
Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2012 22:41:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1340599286-89757-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)

(This time with actual backtrace; forgot to remove the leading '#' on the frames.)

File generated with:
$ perf kvm --host --guest --guestkallsyms=/tmp/guest-kallsyms
    --guestmodules=/tmp/guest-modules record -a

The report command:
$ perf kvm --host --guest --guestkallsyms=/tmp/guest-kallsyms
    --guestmodules=/tmp/guest-modules report

dies with a SEGFAULT:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

715			snprintf(bf, size, "[%s.%d]", "guest.kernel.kallsyms", self->pid);

If no samples hit within a guest module then no build id events are written
to the header during the record. On the report side this cases no 'machine'
to be generated for the default guest (pid == 0) leading to a
machine == NULL in perf_session_deliver_event.

perf's handling of default kallsyms and guest-modules needs to be reworked.
Until then perf should at least not segfault.
