tools lib api: Fix mount_overload() snprintf truncation and toupper range

2026-07-24T13:51:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit fd1f70776add263f8ef38a87ae593c75303f1dcd ] mount_overload() builds an environment variable name like "PERF_SYSFS_ENVIRONMENT" from fs->name. Two bugs: 1) snprintf() uses name_len as the buffer size instead of sizeof(upper_name). For fs->name = "sysfs" (len=5), the output is truncated to "PERF" (4 chars + null), so getenv() never finds the intended variable. 2) mem_toupper() only uppercases name_len bytes, converting just the "PERF" prefix rather than the full string including the filesystem name portion. Fix by using sizeof(upper_name) for snprintf and strlen(upper_name) for mem_toupper, so the full "PERF_SYSFS_ENVIRONMENT" string is correctly formatted and uppercased.

tools lib api: Fix filename__write_int() writing uninitialized stack data

2026-07-24T13:51:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 438ece06185696e14c63c6113d5e2d34ec0a9680 ] filename__write_int() formats an integer into a 64-byte buffer with sprintf() then passes sizeof(buf) (64) as the write length. This writes all 64 bytes including uninitialized stack data past the formatted string. Most sysfs files reject the oversized write, making the function always return -1. Fix by capturing the sprintf() return value and using it as the write length.

tools lib api: Fix missing null termination in filename__read_int/ull()

2026-07-24T13:51:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 52b1f9678499b13b7aeb0186d9c6f486c043283f ] filename__read_int() passes a stack buffer to read() using the full sizeof(line) and then hands it to atoi() without null-terminating. If a sysfs file fills the 64-byte buffer exactly, atoi() reads past the array into uninitialized stack memory. filename__read_ull_base() has the same issue with strtoull(). Fix both by reading sizeof(line) - 1 bytes and explicitly null-terminating after a successful read.

libapi: Add missing linux/types.h header to get the __u64 type on io.h

[ Upstream commit af76b2dec0984a079d8497bfa37d29a9b55932e1 ] There are functions using __u64, so we need to have the linux/types.h header otherwise we'll break when its not included before api/io.h.

tools api fs: Cache cgroupfs mount point

2021-02-17T18:09:08+00:00

Currently it parses the /proc file everytime it opens a file in the cgroupfs. Save the last result to avoid it (assuming it won't be changed between the accesses).

tools api fs: Prefer cgroup v1 path in cgroupfs_find_mountpoint()

2021-02-17T18:06:22+00:00

The cgroupfs_find_mountpoint() looks up the /proc/mounts file to find a directory for the given cgroup subsystem. It keeps both cgroup v1 and v2 path since there's a possibility of the mixed hierarchly. But we can simply use v1 path if it's found as it will override the v2 hierarchy.

libperf: Avoid counting of nonfilterable fdarray fds

2020-07-21T12:53:22+00:00

Avoid counting of struct pollfd *entries objects with fdarray_flag__nonfilterable flag by fdarray__filter(). Nonfilterable objects are still processed if requested revents have been signaled for them.
