In 'perf report', entering a recursive function from inside of itself (either directly of indirectly through some other function) results in calling symbol__annotate2 multiple() times, and freeing the whole disassembly when exiting from the innermost instance. The first issue causes the function's disassembly to be duplicated, and the latter a heap use-after-free (and crash) when trying to access the disassembly again. I reproduced the bug on perf 5.11.22 (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS) and 5.16.rc8 with the following testcase (compile with gcc recursive.c -o recursive). To reproduce: - perf record ./recursive - perf report - enter fibonacci and annotate it - move the cursor on one of the "callq fibonacci" instructions and press enter - at this point there will be two copies of the function in the disassembly - go back by pressing q, and perf will crash #include <stdio.h> int fibonacci(int n) { if(n <= 2) return 1; return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2); } int main() { printf("%d\n", fibonacci(40)); } This patch addresses the issue by annotating a function and freeing the associated memory on exit only if no annotation is already present, so that a recursive function is only annotated on entry.
