Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Init early callchain for bts event
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2018 19:16:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181111181650.4839-1-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)

Vince reported crash in bts flush code when touching the
callchain data, which was supposed to be initialized
as an 'early' callchain data.

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
  ...
  Call Trace:

   </IRQ>

It was triggered by fuzzer by can be easilt reproduced by:
  # perf record -e cpu/branch-instructions/p -g -c 1

The problem is that bts drain code does not initialize sample's
early callchain data and calls perf_prepare_sample with NULL
sample->callchain, even if it's expected to exist via
__PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY sample type bit.

The fix initializes the callchain data for this case with
empty callchain, because bts does not report callchains.
