From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> If a synthetic event already exists when running the synthetic event test, it does a SEGFAULT. This is because the sevents passed into test_synth_compare() is dependent on the devents size. If there's already a synthetic event, devents will be bigger than sevents, and the sevents will read out of bounds. Check for devents to be the same size as sevents before calling test_synth_compare() Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- utest/tracefs-utest.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/utest/tracefs-utest.c b/utest/tracefs-utest.c index 0f4075679ec4..3d88d927e320 100644 --- a/utest/tracefs-utest.c +++ b/utest/tracefs-utest.c @@ -1047,6 +1047,12 @@ static void test_instance_synthetic(struct tracefs_instance *instance) devents = get_dynevents_check(TRACEFS_DYNEVENT_SYNTH, sevents_count); CU_TEST(devents != NULL); + if (!devents) + goto out; + CU_TEST(devents[sevents_count] == NULL); + if (devents[sevents_count]) + goto out; + test_synth_compare(sevents, devents); tracefs_dynevent_list_free(devents); @@ -1057,6 +1063,7 @@ static void test_instance_synthetic(struct tracefs_instance *instance) get_dynevents_check(TRACEFS_DYNEVENT_SYNTH, 0); + out: for (i = 0; i < sevents_count; i++) tracefs_synth_free(synth[i]); -- 2.39.2
