Subject: [Patch v6 03/20] perf/x86/amd/lbr: Limit branch snapshots to valid entries
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 12:32:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106043257.842864-4-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106043257.842864-1-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/
