stable inclusion from linux-4.19.207 commit 44428199a3ce7ba6c3c6b9c6385cbbc9131662ea
--------------------------------
commit 57f0ff059e3daa4e70a811cb1d31a49968262d20 upstream.
It's later supposed to be either a correct address or NULL. Without the initialization, it may contain an undefined value which results in the following segmentation fault:
# perf top --sort comm -g --ignore-callees=do_idle
terminates with:

If you look at the frame #2, the code is:
488 if (he->srcline) { 489 he->srcline = strdup(he->srcline); 490 if (he->srcline == NULL) 491 goto err_rawdata; 492 }
If he->srcline is not NULL (it is not NULL if it is uninitialized rubbish), it gets strdupped and strdupping a rubbish random string causes the problem.
Also, if you look at the commit 1fb7d06a509e, it adds the srcline property into the struct, but not initializing it everywhere needed.
Committer notes:
Now I see, when using --ignore-callees=do_idle we end up here at line 2189 in add_callchain_ip():
2181 if (al.sym != NULL) { 2182 if (perf_hpp_list.parent && !*parent && 2183 symbol__match_regex(al.sym, &parent_regex)) 2184 *parent = al.sym; 2185 else if (have_ignore_callees && root_al && 2186 symbol__match_regex(al.sym, &ignore_callees_regex)) { 2187 /* Treat this symbol as the root, 2188 forgetting its callees. */ 2189 *root_al = al; 2190 callchain_cursor_reset(cursor); 2191 } 2192 }
And the al that doesn't have the ->srcline field initialized will be copied to the root_al, so then, back to:
1211 int hist_entry_iter__add(struct hist_entry_iter *iter, struct addr_location *al, 1212 int max_stack_depth, void *arg) 1213 { 1214 int err, err2; 1215 struct map *alm = NULL; 1216 1217 if (al) 1218 alm = map__get(al->map); 1219 1220 err = sample__resolve_callchain(iter->sample, &callchain_cursor, &iter->parent, 1221 iter->evsel, al, max_stack_depth); 1222 if (err) { 1223 map__put(alm); 1224 return err; 1225 } 1226 1227 err = iter->ops->prepare_entry(iter, al); 1228 if (err) 1229 goto out; 1230 1231 err = iter->ops->add_single_entry(iter, al); 1232 if (err) 1233 goto out; 1234
That al at line 1221 is what hist_entry_iter__add() (called from sample__resolve_callchain()) saw as 'root_al', and then:
iter->ops->add_single_entry(iter, al);
will go on with al->srcline with a bogus value, I'll add the above sequence to the cset and apply, thanks!
