Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tools/power turbostat: avoid segfault referencing fd_instr_count_percpu
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 10:58:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118155813.533424-2-darcari@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251118155813.533424-1-darcari@redhat.com>

The problem is that fd_instr_count_percpu is allocated based on
the value of has_aperf. If has_aperf=0 then fd_instr_count_percpu
remains NULL. However, get_instr_count_fd() is called from
turbostat_init() based on the value of has_aperf_access.

On some VM systems has_aperf can be 0, while has_aperf_access can be
1.  In order to resolve the issue simply check for to see if
fd_instr_count_percpu is NULL and return -1 if it is.  Accordingly,
the has_aperf_access check can be removed from turbostat_init.
