Subject: [PATCH] tools/power/x86/turbostat: add NULL check after calloc()
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 14:59:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902065922.1408-1-yanlonglong@kylinos.cn> (raw)

Three calloc() calls in turbostat lack NULL return checks, leading to
potential NULL pointer dereferences on allocation failure:

1. rapl_perf_init(): the allocated `domain_visited` is used later via
   memset(domain_visited, 0, ...) without checking for NULL.

2. added_perf_counters_init_(): the allocated `domain_visited` is used
   later via memset() and domain_visited[next_domain] without checking
   for NULL.

3. pmt_add_counter(): the allocated `pcounter` is dereferenced
   immediately via strncpy(pcounter->name, ...) without checking for
   NULL.

Add NULL checks after each calloc(), using the same error handling
style already present in each function: err(-1, ...) for rapl_perf_init(),
errx(1, ...) for added_perf_counters_init_(), and return 1 for
pmt_add_counter().
