Subject: [PATCH kdumpid 0/3] Prevent segfault on missing disassembler
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2023 14:03:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230628210344.357073-1-stephen.s.brennan@oracle.com> (raw)

Hi Petr,

I didn't know quite where to send patches for kdumpid, so I elected to
send direct to you, and CC the linux-debuggers list. Hope that's ok!

I encountered a segmentation fault of kdumpid (master branch):

#0  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
#1  0x0000000000406aa9 in disas_at (dd=0x7fffffffde70, info=0x7fffffffdc80, pc=0) at ppc64.c:112
#2  0x0000000000406d42 in looks_like_kcode_ppc64 (dd=0x7fffffffde70, addr=0) at ppc64.c:174
#3  0x0000000000405616 in explore_kernel (dd=0x7fffffffde70, fn=0x405880 <explore_utsname>) at util.c:269
#4  0x0000000000405d3f in explore_raw_data (dd=0x7fffffffde70) at util.c:465
#5  0x0000000000404c98 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe168) at main.c:248

The print_insn function pointer was NULL and calling it resulted in the
segfault. So I've included a patch to check the return value of
disassembler() and avoid calling print_insn in those cases.

I also added some fixes to build issues I encountered - hopefully to
help you avoid autotools for even longer :P

Thanks,
Stephen
