Subject: [PATCH v4 2/6] perf dwarf-aux: Fix libdw API contract violations
Date: Sun, 3 May 2026 10:10:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503171032.1559338-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260503171032.1559338-1-irogers@google.com>
Check return values of `dwarf_decl_line` (where non-optional),
`dwarf_getfuncs`, and `dwarf_lineaddr` to prevent using uninitialized
stack variables or incorrectly reporting success on failure.
For the root DIE in `die_walk_lines()`, `dwarf_decl_line` and
`die_get_decl_file` are optional and their failures are handled
gracefully to avoid breaking line walking on valid functions.
Additionally:
- Add NULL pointer protection for `strcmp()` in `die_walk_lines()`
when `inf` or `decf` are NULL to prevent crashes on generated
code.
- Use `dwarf_attr_integrate` in `die_get_data_member_location` to
correctly resolve inherited member locations (e.g. via abstract
origin or specification).
Fixes: 57f95bf5f882 ("perf probe: Show correct statement line number by perf probe -l")
Fixes: 3f4460a28fb2 ("perf probe: Filter out redundant inline-instances")
Fixes: 75186a9b09e4 ("perf probe: Fix to show lines of sys_ functions correctly")
Fixes: e0d153c69040 ("perf-probe: Move dwarf library routines to dwarf-aux.{c, h}")
Fixes: 6243b9dc4c99 ("perf probe: Move dwarf specific functions to dwarf-aux.c")

v4:
- Fix strcmp(NULL) risk and inherited member location fallbacks in dwarf-aux.c.
