Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] perf dwarf-aux: Fix libdw API contract violations
Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 08:56:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260502155656.478642-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260502155656.478642-1-irogers@google.com>
Check return values of `dwarf_decl_line`, `dwarf_getfuncs`, and
`dwarf_lineaddr` to prevent using uninitialized stack variables or
incorrectly reporting success on failure.
Fixes: 57f95bf5f882 ("perf probe: Show correct statement line number by perf probe -l")
Fixes: 3f4460a28fb2 ("perf probe: Filter out redundant inline-instances")
Fixes: 75186a9b09e4 ("perf probe: Fix to show lines of sys_ functions correctly")
Fixes: e0d153c69040 ("perf-probe: Move dwarf library routines to dwarf-aux.{c, h}")
Fixes: 6243b9dc4c99 ("perf probe: Move dwarf specific functions to dwarf-aux.c")
