Subject: [PATCH 26/27] perf kwork: Bounds check work->cpu before indexing cpus_runtime[]
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 22:10:11 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521011027.622268-27-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521011027.622268-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
work->cpu comes from sample->cpu which is (u32)-1 when
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is absent. Stored as int, this becomes -1
which passes the signed BUG_ON(work->cpu >= MAX_NR_CPUS) but
causes an out-of-bounds access on cpus_runtime[-1].
Replace the BUG_ON in top_calc_total_runtime() with an unsigned
bounds check that skips entries with invalid CPU values, counting
them for a summary warning.
Guard the same index in profile_event_match() (bitmap OOB),
top_calc_idle_time(), top_calc_irq_runtime(), top_calc_cpu_usage(),
and top_calc_load_runtime(). Also guard against division by zero
in top_calc_cpu_usage() when no runtime was accumulated.
