Subject: [PATCH v5 2/9] perf dwarf-aux: Fix libdw API contract violations
Date: Mon,  4 May 2026 01:12:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504081227.2203848-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504081227.2203848-1-irogers@google.com>

Check return values of `dwarf_decl_line` (where non-optional),
`dwarf_getfuncs`, and `dwarf_lineaddr` to prevent using uninitialized
stack variables or incorrectly reporting success on failure.

For the root DIE in `die_walk_lines()`, `dwarf_decl_line` and
`die_get_decl_file` are optional and their failures are handled
gracefully to avoid breaking line walking on valid functions.
Specifically, remove the strict `!decf` (declared file) check that
would prematurely abort line walking on generated or artificial
functions lacking this optional attribute.

Additionally:
 - Add NULL pointer protection for `strcmp()` in `die_walk_lines()`
   when `inf` or `decf` are NULL to prevent crashes on generated
   code.
 - Use `dwarf_attr_integrate` in `die_get_data_member_location` to
   correctly resolve inherited member locations (e.g. via abstract
   origin or specification).

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")
Assisted-by: Gemini-CLI:Google Gemini 3
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
---
v5:
 - Updated commit message to explain optional DWARF attributes and decf check removal.
v4:
 - Fix strcmp(NULL) risk and inherited member location fallbacks in dwarf-aux.c.
