I got a report for a failure in BPF verifier on a recent kernel with perf lock contention command. It checks task->sighand->siglock without checking if sighand is NULL or not. Let's add one. ; if (&curr->sighand->siglock == (void *)lock) 265: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r0 +2624) ; frame1: R0_w=trusted_ptr_task_struct(off=0,imm=0) R1_w=rcu_ptr_or_null_sighand_struct(off=0,imm=0) 266: (b7) r2 = 0 ; frame1: R2_w=0 267: (0f) r1 += r2 R1 pointer arithmetic on rcu_ptr_or_null_ prohibited, null-check it first processed 164 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 1 total_states 15 peak_states 15 mark_read 5 -- END PROG LOAD LOG -- libbpf: prog 'contention_end': failed to load: -13 libbpf: failed to load object 'lock_contention_bpf' libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'lock_contention_bpf': -13 Failed to load lock-contention BPF skeleton lock contention BPF setup failed lock contention did not detect any lock contention Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c b/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c index fb54bd38e7d0..4e5914d7eeaa 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c @@ -305,7 +305,7 @@ static inline __u32 check_lock_type(__u64 lock, __u32 flags) break; case LCB_F_SPIN: /* spinlock */ curr = bpf_get_current_task_btf(); - if (&curr->sighand->siglock == (void *)lock) + if (curr->sighand && &curr->sighand->siglock == (void *)lock) return LCD_F_SIGHAND_LOCK; break; default: -- 2.44.0.478.gd926399ef9-goog
