Subject: [PATCH v3] perf: prevent overflow in size calculation
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:05:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342753525-4521-1-git-send-email-cody@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5008C90A.50705@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

A large enough symbol size causes an overflow in the size parameter to the
histogram allocation, leading to a segfault in symbol__inc_addr_samples later
on when this histogram is accessed.

In the case of being called via perf-report, this returns back and
gracefully ignores the sample, eventually ignoring the chained return
value of perf_session_deliver_event in flush_sample_queue.
