Subject: [PATCH 3/7] perf top: Fix a segfault when kernel map is restricted.
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:04:05 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430154249-28268-4-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1430154249-28268-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

Perf top raise a warning if a kernel sample is collected but kernel map
is restricted. The warning message needs to dereference al.map->dso...

However, previous perf_event__preprocess_sample() doesn't always
guarantee al.map != NULL, for example, when kernel map is restricted.

This patch validates al.map before dereferencing, avoid the segfault.

Before this patch:

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
 1
 $ perf top -p  120183
 perf: Segmentation fault
