Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] perf libdw: Fix libdw API contract violations
Date: Sun, 3 May 2026 10:10:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503171032.1559338-4-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260503171032.1559338-1-irogers@google.com>
Check return values of `dwfl_report_end` and `dwfl_module_addrdie`.
Check `die_get_call_lineno` for errors.
Additionally:
- Introduce `inline_node__clear_frames()` to clean up partial
allocations.
- Ensure `*file` is freed and inline frames are cleared on error in
`libdw__addr2line()` to prevent memory leaks and duplicated
callchains when falling back to other unwinders.
- Allow DWARF line 0 in `libdw_a2l_cb()`, as it is a valid
reference for compiler-generated code.
- Fix the parent srcline lookup in `libdw_a2l_cb()` to target the
correct parent node depending on the callchain order
(ORDER_CALLER/ORDER_CALLEE).
Fixes: b7a2b011e962 ("perf powerpc: Unify the skip-callchain-idx libdw with that for addr2line")
Fixes: 88c51002d06f ("perf addr2line: Add a libdw implementation")
Assisted-by: Gemini-CLI:Google Gemini 3
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v4:
- Fix memory leaks and duplicated callchains on unwinding errors.
- Support DWARF line 0 in inline list.
- Fix callchain parent update in ORDER_CALLER mode.
