Hi,
I am hitting a compilation issue with this change. Sorry for responding late. I tried with change from tmp.perf-tools-next and hit below issue:
CC util/bpf_lock_contention.o
util/bpf_lock_contention.c: In function ‘lock_contention_get_name’:
cc1: error: function may return address of local variable [-Werror=return-local-addr]
util/bpf_lock_contention.c:470:45: note: declared here
470 | struct contention_task_data task;
| ^~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[4]: *** [/root/perf-tools-next/tools/build/Makefile.build:85: util/bpf_lock_contention.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
LD perf-in.o
make[3]: *** [/root/perf-tools-next/tools/build/Makefile.build:138: util] Error 2
make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:822: perf-util-in.o] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:321: sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:76: all] Error 2
Code snippet:
if (con->aggr_mode == LOCK_AGGR_TASK) {
struct contention_task_data task;
int pid = key->pid;
int task_fd = bpf_map__fd(skel->maps.task_data);
/* do not update idle comm which contains CPU number */
if (pid) {
struct thread *t = machine__findnew_thread(machine, /*pid=*/-1, pid);
if (t == NULL)
return name;
if (!bpf_map_lookup_elem(task_fd, &pid, &task) &&
thread__set_comm(t, task.comm, /*timestamp=*/0))
name = task.comm;
}
return name;
}
We are calling lock_contention_get_name with second argument as NULL .
Though error above points to “contention_task_data”, I think the local variable here is for “name” ?
Thanks
