Subject: [PATCH v1 09/12] perf cs-etm: Fall back to the recorded instruction size on a failed read
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 12:05:50 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113150555.1163049-10-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113150555.1163049-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
cs_etm__t32_instr_size() reads the instruction bytes from the traced
program's memory to tell a 16-bit from a 32-bit T32 instruction, but it
ignores cs_etm__frontend_mem_access() failing, which happens when the
DSO or its debug data is missing, and then reads the uninitialized
buffer. GCC 16 warns about it and build-test fails with -Werror.
Use the instruction size recorded by the decoder, as the A32/A64 path
already does, when the read doesn't return the full two bytes.
Fixes: a7ee4d625ede4f62 ("perf cs-etm: Support for ARM A32/T32 instruction sets in CoreSight trace")
