perf_evsel::sample_id is an xyarray which can cause a segfault when accessed beyond its size. e.g. # perf record -e intel_pt// -C 1 sleep 1 Segmentation fault (core dumped) # That is happening because a dummy event is opened to capture text poke events accross all CPUs, however the mmap logic is allocating according to the number of user_requested_cpus. In general, perf sometimes uses the evsel cpus to open events, and sometimes the evlist user_requested_cpus. However, it is not necessary to determine which case is which because the opened event file descriptors are also in an xyarray, the size of whch can be used to correctly allocate the size of the sample_id xyarray, because there is one ID per file descriptor. Note, in the affected code path, perf_evsel fd array is subsequently used to get the file descriptor for the mmap, so it makes sense for the xyarrays to be the same size there. Fixes: |
