Subject: [PATCH v3 05/16] perf trace: Do not set unaugmented BPF program on sys_exit map
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:06:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918140659.2501976-6-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918140659.2501976-1-irogers@google.com>

In trace__init_syscalls_bpf_prog_array_maps(), the BPF program array map
for sys_exit (syscalls_sys_exit) was populated with the result of
trace__bpf_prog_sys_exit_fd().

When a syscall had no specific exit augmenter,
trace__find_syscall_bpf_prog() fell back to unaugmented_prog
(syscall_unaugmented). However, syscall_unaugmented is a sys_enter
program that outputs enter arguments to __augmented_syscalls__.

As a consequence, when an unaugmented syscall exited, sys_exit
tail-called syscall_unaugmented, which interpreted the exit arguments as
enter arguments and emitted a duplicate, corrupt sys_enter event into
__augmented_syscalls__ right as the syscall completed.

Fix this by:
1. Returning NULL from trace__find_syscall_bpf_prog() when looking up exit
   augmenters and none is found.
2. Returning -1 from trace__bpf_prog_sys_exit_fd() when no exit program
   is present.
3. Only updating map_exit_fd when prog_fd >= 0.
4. Clearing err = 0 when trace__bpf_sys_enter_beauty_map() returns
   non-zero (indicating the syscall has no augmentable pointer arguments)
   before continuing the loop, so a trailing run of such syscalls (e.g.
   'perf trace -e close') does not leave err non-zero on return and abort
   the session.
