Michael reported the segfault when kernel.kptr_restrict=2 is set. $ perf record ls ... perf: Segmentation fault Obtained 16 stack frames. ./perf(dump_stack+0x2d) [0x5068df] ./perf(sighandler_dump_stack+0x2d) [0x5069bf] ./perf() [0x43e47b] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3594f) [0x7f762004794f] /lib64/libc.so.6(strlen+0x26) [0x7f762009ef86] /lib64/libc.so.6(__strdup+0xd) [0x7f762009ecbd] ./perf(maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym+0x4d) [0x51590f] ./perf(machine__create_kernel_maps+0x136) [0x50a7de] ./perf(perf_session__create_kernel_maps+0x2c) [0x510a81] ./perf(perf_session__new+0x13d) [0x510e23] ./perf() [0x43fd61] ./perf(cmd_record+0x704) [0x441823] ./perf() [0x4bc1a0] ./perf() [0x4bc40d] ./perf() [0x4bc55f] ./perf(main+0x2d5) [0x4bc939] Segmentation fault (core dumped) The reason is that with kernel.kptr_restrict=2, we don't get the symbol from machine__get_running_kernel_start, which we want to use in maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym and we crash. Check the symbol name value before calling maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and succeed without ref_reloc_sym being set. It's safe because we check its existence before we use it.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
