Subject: [Patch v3 2/4] perf/x86/amd/lbr: Limit branch snapshots to valid entries
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 15:08:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019070836.2972403-3-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019070836.2972403-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>

From: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@amd.com>

The branch snapshot callback used by bpf_get_branch_snapshot() copies
up to x86_pmu.lbr_nr entries from cpuc->lbr_entries[], even when the
last LBR read kept fewer branches. The entries past lbr_stack.nr are
invalid, but they end up reaching BPF programs.

Limit copying to lbr_stack.nr entries and also reset lbr_stack.nr when
amd_pmu_lbr_read() skips reading the registers, so that a stale count
is never reused.

Fixes: a4d18112e531 ("perf/x86/amd: Support capturing LBR from software events")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/sashiko-outbox-163130@kernel.org/
