Subject: [for-next][PATCH 2/9] rtla: Fix segfault in save_trace_to_file call
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2025 10:55:51 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250326145603.969401580@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250326145549.978154551@goodmis.org

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@redhat.com>

Running rtla with exit on threshold, but without saving trace leads to a
segmenetation fault:

$ rtla timerlat hist -T 10
...
Max timerlat IRQ latency from idle: 4.29 us in cpu 0
Segmentation fault

This is caused by null pointer deference in the call of
save_trace_to_file, which attempts to dereference an uninitialized
osnoise_tool variable:

save_trace_to_file(record->trace.inst, params->trace_output);
                   ^ this is uninitialized if params->trace_output is
                     not set

Fix this by not attempting to dereference "record" if it is NULL and
passing NULL instead. As a safety measure, the first field is also
checked for NULL inside save_trace_to_file.
