perf jevent: fix core dump on software events on s390
Running commands such as # ./perf stat -e cs -- true Segmentation fault (core dumped) # ./perf stat -e cpu-clock-- true Segmentation fault (core dumped) # dump core. This should not happen as these events are defined even when no hardware PMU is available. Debugging this reveals this call chain: perf_pmus__find_by_type(type=1) +--> pmu_read_sysfs(core_only=false) +--> perf_pmu__find2(dirfd=3, name=0x152a113 "software") +--> perf_pmu__lookup(pmus=0x14f0568 <other_pmus>, dirfd=3, lookup_name=0x152a113 "software") +--> perf_pmu__find_events_table (pmu=0x1532130) Now the pmu is "software" and it tries to find a proper table generated by the pmu-event generation process for s390: # cd pmu-events/ # ./jevents.py s390 all /root/linux/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch |\ grep -E '^const struct pmu_table_entry' const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z10[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z13[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z13[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z14[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z14[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z15[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z15[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z16[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z16[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z196[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_zec12[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_zec12[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__test_soc_cpu[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__test_soc_cpu[] = { const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__test_soc_sys[] = { # However event "software" is not listed, as can be seen in the generated const struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[]. So in function perf_pmu__find_events_table(), the variable table is initialized to NULL, but never set to a proper value. The function scans all generated &pmu_events_map[] tables, but no table matches, because the tables are s390 CPU Measurement unit specific: i = 0; for (;;) { const struct pmu_events_map *map = &pmu_events_map[i++]; if (!map->arch) break; --> the maps are there because the build generated them if (!strcmp_cpuid_str(map->cpuid, cpuid)) { table = &map->event_table; break; } --> Since no matching CPU string the table var remains 0x0 } free(cpuid); if (!pmu) return table; --> The pmu is "software" so it exists and no return --> and here perf dies because table is 0x0 for (i = 0; i < table->num_pmus; i++) { ... } return NULL; Fix this and do not access the table variable. Instead return 0x0 which is the same return code when the for-loop was not successful.
