Subject: [PATCH 08/17] perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmaps
Date: Wed,  6 Feb 2013 18:44:10 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360187059-12661-9-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360187059-12661-1-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org>

From: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>

I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where
the event type is off the charts:

(gdb) bt
\#0  0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225
\#1  0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520,
    file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884
\#2  0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555
\#3  0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645

This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.

There seem to be 2 causes:

1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.

2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.

This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.

The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.
