4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 933ccf2002aaef1037cb676622a694f5390c3d59 ] Add missing error handling for parse_events calls in test_event function that led to following segfault on s390: running test 52 'intel_pt//u' perf: Segmentation fault ... /lib64/libc.so.6(vasprintf+0xe6) [0x3fffca3f106] /lib64/libc.so.6(asprintf+0x46) [0x3fffca1aa96] ./perf(parse_events_add_pmu+0xb8) [0x80132088] ./perf(parse_events_parse+0xc62) [0x8019529a] ./perf(parse_events+0x98) [0x801341c0] ./perf(test__parse_events+0x48) [0x800cd140] ./perf(cmd_test+0x26a) [0x800bd44a] test child interrupted Adding the struct parse_events_error argument to parse_events call. Also adding parse_events_print_error to get more details on the parsing failures, like: # perf test 6 -v running test 52 'intel_pt//u'failed to parse event 'intel_pt//u', err 1, str 'Cannot find PMU `intel_pt'. Missing kernel support?' event syntax error: 'intel_pt//u' \___ Cannot find PMU `intel_pt'. Missing kernel support? Committer note: Use named initializers in the struct parse_events_error variable to avoid breaking the build on centos5, 6 and others with a similar gcc: cc1: warnings being treated as errors tests/parse-events.c: In function 'test_event': tests/parse-events.c:1696: error: missing initializer tests/parse-events.c:1696: error: (near initialization for 'err.str') Reported-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@xxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Richter <tmricht@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180611093422.1005-1-jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/tests/parse-events.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/tools/perf/tests/parse-events.c +++ b/tools/perf/tests/parse-events.c @@ -1614,6 +1614,7 @@ static struct terms_test test__terms[] = static int test_event(struct evlist_test *e) { + struct parse_events_error err = { .idx = 0, }; struct perf_evlist *evlist; int ret; @@ -1621,10 +1622,11 @@ static int test_event(struct evlist_test if (evlist == NULL) return -ENOMEM; - ret = parse_events(evlist, e->name, NULL); + ret = parse_events(evlist, e->name, &err); if (ret) { - pr_debug("failed to parse event '%s', err %d\n", - e->name, ret); + pr_debug("failed to parse event '%s', err %d, str '%s'\n", + e->name, ret, err.str); + parse_events_print_error(&err, e->name); } else { ret = e->check(evlist); }
