[PATCH v1 1/7] perf session: Fix minimum event size for PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED

[PATCH v1 1/7] perf session: Fix minimum event size for PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED

[Ian Rogers]

struct perf_record_callchain_deferred contains header, cookie, and nr
(24 bytes), but perf_event__min_size[PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED]
only checked for header + one u64 (16 bytes). Use
sizeof(struct perf_record_callchain_deferred).

[PATCH v1 2/7] perf evsel: Add bounds check for PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED ips array

[Ian Rogers]

In __evsel__parse_sample(), verify that event->callchain_deferred.nr and
the trailing ips[] array fit within event->header.size using
OVERFLOW_CHECK_u64() and OVERFLOW_CHECK() before exposing data->callchain
to callers.

[PATCH v1 3/7] perf dso: Handle trailing zeros symmetrically in dso__build_id_equal()

[Ian Rogers]

dso__build_id_equal() allows a 20-byte dso_bid with trailing zeros to
match a shorter bid (such as an 8-byte or 16-byte build ID), but did not
handle the symmetric case where the lookup bid is 20 bytes padded with
trailing zeros (e.g. from BPF/perf kernel build ID extraction) and
dso_bid has the exact shorter size. Handle both directions symmetrically.

[PATCH v1 4/7] perf maps: Check map__start_cmp() in __maps__insert()

[Ian Rogers]

In __maps__insert(), maps_by_address_sorted is kept true if the previous
map's end is less than or equal to the new map's start. However, when a
map has an end of 0 (for example, an unmapped [0, 0) map or a map whose
end has not been set yet) and a [0, 0) map is inserted after it,
map__end(prev) <= map__start(new) evaluates to 0 <= 0 (true) even when
map__start_cmp(&prev, &new) > 0 (either because map__start(prev) > 0 or
because prev's pointer address is greater than new's pointer address).
This leaves maps_by_address_sorted set to true on an array that is not
ordered according to map__start_cmp(), causing bsearch() in
maps__by_address_index() to fail and return -1 during __maps__remove().

Also check map__start_cmp(&maps_by_address[nr_maps - 2], &new) <= 0 when
updating maps_by_address_sorted in __maps__insert().

[PATCH v1 5/7] perf inject: Use perf_tool__init() for --vm-time-correlation

[Ian Rogers]

When cmd_inject() was converted to use perf_tool__init() in commit
a37c0436f379 ("perf inject: Use perf_tool__init()"), the
--vm-time-correlation branch in __cmd_inject() still called
memset(&inject->tool, 0, sizeof(inject->tool)) to clear the default
repipe callbacks. Zeroing out the struct overwrites all default stub
handlers set by perf_tool__init() with NULL, causing a NULL function
pointer dereference if any other event type is encountered.

Use perf_tool__init(&inject->tool, /*ordered_events=*/true) instead of
memset() so that un-overridden callbacks retain their default stub
handlers.

[PATCH v1 6/7] perf inject: Set ordering_requires_timestamps before creating session

[Ian Rogers]

In cmd_inject(), inject.tool.ordering_requires_timestamps was initialized
after delegating tools (such as aslr_tool__new()) and __perf_session__new()
had already been called, leaving delegate tools with the uninitialized

delegate tools and the session.
