Subject: [PATCH] perf: buildid-cache zero out buffer of filenames when adding/remoing buildid
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:13:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110718031314.GA5802@hpt.nay.redhat.com> (raw)
readlink() doesn't append a null byte to buf. So we should zero out buf
with zalloc(). Or we'll see sometimes error like this:
[root@intel-s3e36-01]~# /usr/bin/perf buildid-cache -a /lib/modules/2.6.32-130.el6.x86_64/kernel/crypto/twofish_common.ko -v
Adding f64ba8efd5f53c7ad332fc17db1d21de309038e1 /lib/modules/2.6.32-130.el6.x86_64/kernel/crypto/twofish_common.ko: Ok
[root@intel-s3e36-01]~# /usr/bin/perf buildid-cache -r /lib/modules/2.6.32-130.el6.x86_64/kernel/crypto/twofish_common.ko -v
Removing f64ba8efd5f53c7ad332fc17db1d21de309038e1 /lib/modules/2.6.32-130.el6.x86_64/kernel/crypto/twofish_common.ko: FAIL
/lib/modules/2.6.32-130.el6.x86_64/kernel/crypto/twofish_common.ko wasn't in the cache
The change in build_id_cache__add_s() is a defense.
