Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf session: Invalidate last_match when removing threads from rb_tree
Date: Mon,  2 Aug 2010 23:09:11 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280801352-4630-3-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1280801352-4630-1-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org>

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

If we receive two PERF_RECORD_EXIT for the same thread, we can end up
reusing session->last_match and trying to remove the thread twice from
the rb_tree, causing a segfault, so invalidade last_match in
perf_session__remove_thread.

Receiving two PERF_RECORD_EXIT for the same thread is a bug, but its a
harmless one if we make the tool more robust, like this patch does.
