Hello K.Prasad,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 500ad2d8b013: "perf/hwpb: Invoke __perf_event_disable() if
interrupts are already disabled" from Aug 2, 2012, leads to the
following Smatch complaint:
kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c:449 modify_user_hw_breakpoint()
error: we previously assumed 'bp->ctx' could be null (see line 446)
kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c
445 */
446 if (irqs_disabled() && bp->ctx && bp->ctx->task == current)
^^^^^^^
We add a new assumption that bp->ctx can be NULL in this patch.
447 __perf_event_disable(bp);
448 else
449 perf_event_disable(bp);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But it is dereferenced unconditionally in perf_event_disable().
450
451 bp->attr.bp_addr = attr->bp_addr;
regards,
dan carpenter
