Subject: [PATCH perf/core 4/5] [BUGFIX] perf-probe: Fix a segfault bug in debuginfo_cache
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2015 01:41:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150930164135.3733.23993.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150930164126.3733.47708.stgit@localhost.localdomain>
perf probe --list will get a segfault if the first kprobe
event is on a module and the second or latter one on
the kernel.
e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -q -m pcspkr pcspkr_event
# ./perf probe -q vfs_read
# ./perf probe -l
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
----
This is because the debuginfo_cache fails to handle NULL
module name, which causes segfault on strcmp. (Note that
strcmp("something", NULL) always causes segfault)
To fix this debuginfo_cache__open always translates the
NULL module name to "kernel" (this is correct, because
NULL module name means opening the debuginfo for the kernel)
----
# ./perf probe -l
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c
in pcspkr)
probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
