[PATCH] trace-cmd split: Fix off-by-one error when calculating record len

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When a record has 112 or fewer bytes (28 * 4) for size, it has a 4 byte
record that contains 5 bits for the size of the event divided by 4, and 27
bits for the time delta. (0, 29, 30 31 are special values for those 5
bits.

The split logic recreates the record header for each event it copies over
from the source trace file to the destination trace file. To decide the
header, it incorrectly checked for "less than" instead of "less than or
equal to" of size "28 * 4". This caused the copying of the event to add
the extended header.

The issue happened, because of the added 4 bytes, it ended up overwriting
the end of the page. The "\0" ended at the edge and was cut off.
(There should be a better check for this as well).

Fix the header check to use the compact header for 112 byte events.
