Subject: [PATCH 4/5] perf jitdump: Write sample id fields in the order used by evsel__id_hdr_size()
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 11:40:56 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904144058.3341-5-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904144058.3341-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
jit_repipe_code_load() and jit_repipe_code_move() cast the sample id
area appended to the synthesized mmap2 record to a fixed:
struct {
u32 pid, tid;
u64 time;
};
and store the timestamp at offset 8 whenever PERF_SAMPLE_TIME is set.
That matches what evsel__id_hdr_size() accounts for only when
PERF_SAMPLE_TID is set as well: the fields are appended in a fixed
order, skipping the ones not requested by sample_type, so with
PERF_SAMPLE_TID unset PERF_SAMPLE_TIME starts at offset 0 and idr_size
is 8.
Storing the timestamp at offset 8 then lands 8 bytes past the end of
the id area, which for an event allocated as sizeof(*event) + idr_size
is past the end of the heap allocation, besides corrupting the record
the tooling reading it back expects.
Walk the id area in the order used by evsel__id_hdr_size(), advancing
past each field only when its sample_type bit is set, and keep the
computed timestamp in a local variable instead of reading it back from
the event buffer.
