perf session: Fix handling when buffer exceeds 2 GiB

2025-10-29T13:01:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit c17dda8013495d8132c976cbf349be9949d0fbd1 ] If a user specifies an AUX buffer larger than 2 GiB, the returned size may exceed 0x80000000. Since the err variable is defined as a signed 32-bit integer, such a value overflows and becomes negative. As a result, the perf record command reports an error: 0x146e8 [0x30]: failed to process type: 71 [Unknown error 183711232] Change the type of the err variable to a signed 64-bit integer to accommodate large buffer sizes correctly.

perf session: Add missing evlist__delete when deleting a session

2024-11-17T13:59:38+00:00

commit cf96b8e45a9bf74d2a6f1e1f88a41b10e9357c6b upstream. ASan reports a memory leak caused by evlist not being deleted on exit in perf-report, perf-script and perf-data. The problem is caused by evlist->session not being deleted, which is allocated in perf_session__read_header, called in perf_session__new if perf_data is in read mode. In case of write mode, the session->evlist is filled by the caller. This patch solves the problem by calling evlist__delete in perf_session__delete if perf_data is in read mode. Changes in v2: - call evlist__delete from within perf_session__delete v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210621234317.235545-1-rickyman7@gmail.com/ ASan report follows: $ ./perf script report

perf session: Remap buf if there is no space for event

2022-04-13T19:01:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit bc21e74d4775f883ae1f542c1f1dc7205b15d925 ] If a perf event doesn't fit into remaining buffer space return NULL to remap buf and fetch the event again. Keep the logic to error out on inadequate input from fuzzing. This fixes perf failing on ChromeOS (with 32b userspace): $ perf report -v -i perf.data ... prefetch_event: head=0x1fffff8 event->header_size=0x30, mmap_size=0x2000000: fuzzed or compressed perf.data?

perf session: Correct buffer copying when peeking events

2021-06-16T10:01:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 197eecb6ecae0b04bd694432f640ff75597fed9c ] When peeking an event, it has a short path and a long path. The short path uses the session pointer "one_mmap_addr" to directly fetch the event; and the long path needs to read out the event header and the following event data from file and fill into the buffer pointer passed through the argument "buf". The issue is in the long path that it copies the event header and event data into the same destination address which pointer "buf", this means the event header is overwritten. We are just lucky to run into the short path in most cases, so we don't hit the issue in the long path. This patch adds the offset "hdr_sz" to the pointer "buf" when copying the event data, so that it can reserve the event header which can be used properly by its caller.

perf session: Add swap operation for event TIME_CONV

perf intel-pt: Fix 'CPU too large' error
