Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf intel-pt: Fix segfault tracing transactions
Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:15:25 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460988925-14676-2-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1460988925-14676-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>
Tracing a workload that uses transactions gave a seg fault as follows:
perf record -e intel_pt// workload
perf report
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x000000000054b58c in intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb (ptq=0x1a36110)
at util/intel-pt.c:929
929 ptq->last_branch_rb->nr = 0;
(gdb) p ptq->last_branch_rb
$1 = (struct branch_stack *) 0x0
(gdb) up
1148 intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb(ptq);
(gdb) l
1143 if (ret)
1144 pr_err("Intel Processor Trace: failed to deliver transaction event
1145 ret);
1146
1147 if (pt->synth_opts.callchain)
1148 intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb(ptq);
1149
1150 return ret;
1151 }
1152
(gdb) p pt->synth_opts.callchain
$2 = true
(gdb)
(gdb) bt
#0 0x000000000054b58c in intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb (ptq=0x1a36110)
#1 0x000000000054c1e0 in intel_pt_synth_transaction_sample (ptq=0x1a36110)
#2 0x000000000054c5b2 in intel_pt_sample (ptq=0x1a36110)
Caused by checking the 'callchain' flag when it should have been the
'last_branch' flag. Fix that.
