From 813ccd15452ed34e97aa526ffc70d6d8e6c466c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:18:05 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix segfault for symbol annotation on TUI Currently the symbol structure is allocated with symbol_conf.priv_size to carry sideband information like annotation, map browser on TUI and sort-by-name tree node. So retrieving these information from symbol needs to care about the details of such placement. However the annotation code just assumes that the symbol is placed after the struct annotation. But actually there's other info between them. So accessing those struct will lead to an undefined behavior (usually a crash) after they write their info to the same location. To reproduce the problem, please follow the steps below: 1. run perf report (TUI of course) with -v option 2. open map browser (by pressing right arrow key for any entry) 3. search any function (by pressing '/' key and input whatever..) 4. return to the hist browser (by pressing 'q' or left arrow key) 5. open annotation window for the same entry (by pressing 'a' key) Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: David Ahern Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1421234288-22758-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/annotate.h | 8 +------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/annotate.h b/tools/perf/util/annotate.h index 0784a9420528..cadbdc90a5cb 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/annotate.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/annotate.h @@ -116,11 +116,6 @@ struct annotation { struct annotated_source *src; }; -struct sannotation { - struct annotation annotation; - struct symbol symbol; -}; - static inline struct sym_hist *annotation__histogram(struct annotation *notes, int idx) { return (((void *)¬es->src->histograms) + @@ -129,8 +124,7 @@ static inline struct sym_hist *annotation__histogram(struct annotation *notes, i static inline struct annotation *symbol__annotation(struct symbol *sym) { - struct sannotation *a = container_of(sym, struct sannotation, symbol); - return &a->annotation; + return (void *)sym - symbol_conf.priv_size; } int addr_map_symbol__inc_samples(struct addr_map_symbol *ams, int evidx);
