Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf probe: Fix segfault if passed with ''.
Date: Tue, 5 May 2015 19:16:36 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430864196-1161-3-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1430864196-1161-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>
From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>
Since parse_perf_probe_point() deals with a user passed argument, we
should not assume it to be a valid string.
Without this patch, if pass '' to perf probe, a segfault raises:
$ perf probe -a ''
Segmentation fault
This patch checks argument of parse_perf_probe_point() before
string processing.
After this patch:
$ perf probe -a ''
usage: perf probe [<options>] 'PROBEDEF' ['PROBEDEF' ...]
or: perf probe [<options>] --add 'PROBEDEF' [--add 'PROBEDEF' ...]
...
