From 143c99f6ac6812d23254e80844d6e34be897d3e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sandipan Das Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2018 16:10:49 +0530 Subject: perf report powerpc: Fix crash if callchain is empty For some cases, the callchain provided by the kernel may be empty. So, the callchain ip filtering code will cause a crash if we do not check whether the struct ip_callchain pointer is NULL before accessing any members. This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown below. # perf record -b -e cycles:u ls Before: # perf report --branch-history perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x1027615c] linux-vdso64.so.1(__kernel_sigtramp_rt64+0x0)[0x7fff856304d8] perf(arch_skip_callchain_idx+0x44)[0x10257c58] perf[0x1017f2e4] perf(thread__resolve_callchain+0x124)[0x1017ff5c] perf(sample__resolve_callchain+0xf0)[0x10172788] ...
