From 7a0e41223e9823f493c2e1ef6be38ef521897c41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 09:11:21 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf top: Don't pass an ERR_PTR() directly to perf_session__delete() [ Upstream commit ef23cb593304bde0cc046fd4cc83ae7ea2e24f16 ] While debugging a segfault on 'perf lock contention' without an available perf.data file I noticed that it was basically calling: perf_session__delete(ERR_PTR(-1)) Resulting in: (gdb) run lock contention Starting program: /root/bin/perf lock contention [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1". failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) Initializing perf session failed Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000005e7515 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/auxtrace.c:2858 2858 if (!session->auxtrace) (gdb) p session $1 = (struct perf_session *) 0xffffffffffffffff (gdb) bt #0 0x00000000005e7515 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/auxtrace.c:2858 #1 0x000000000057bb4d in perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:300 #2 0x000000000047c421 in __cmd_contention (argc=0, argv=0x7fffffffe200) at builtin-lock.c:2161 #3 0x000000000047dc95 in cmd_lock (argc=0, argv=0x7fffffffe200) at builtin-lock.c:2604 #4 0x0000000000501466 in run_builtin (p=0xe597a8 , argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe200) at perf.c:322 #5 0x00000000005016d5 in handle_internal_command (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe200) at perf.c:375 #6 0x0000000000501824 in run_argv (argcp=0x7fffffffe02c, argv=0x7fffffffe020) at perf.c:419 #7 0x0000000000501b11 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe200) at perf.c:535 (gdb) So just set it to NULL after using PTR_ERR(session) to decode the error as perf_session__delete(NULL) is supported. The same problem was found in 'perf top' after an audit of all perf_session__new() failure handling.
