[PATCH 5/5] perf probe: Fix segfault when probe with lazy_line to file

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Apr 13 2015 - 18:15:46 EST


From: He Kuang <hekuang@xxxxxxxxxx>

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.

Can be reproduced as following:

$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
[ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp
00007ffcbfaaf900 error 4 in libdw-0.161.so[7fc6e10ce000+34000]
Segmentation fault

After this patch:

$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
Added new event:
probe:_stext (on @fs/super.c)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:_stext -aR sleep 1
