Subject: [PATCH 01/15] perf symbols: Fix bswap copy-paste error for 32-bit ELF p_filesz
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 21:34:29 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612003444.50723-2-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612003444.50723-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
filename__read_build_id() byte-swaps 32-bit ELF program headers on
cross-endian files, but line 178 passes p_offset to bswap_32() instead
of p_filesz:
hdrs.phdr32[i].p_filesz = bswap_32(hdrs.phdr32[i].p_offset);
This clobbers p_filesz with the already-swapped p_offset value. The
64-bit path on line 182 is correct and swaps p_filesz from p_filesz.
The consequence is that the PT_NOTE segment read uses the wrong size,
which can cause either a short read (missing the build-id) or an
oversized read (reading past the segment into adjacent data).
Fix by swapping the correct field.
