[PATCH 4.9 070/103] perf header: Fix divide by zero error if f_header.attr_size==0

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Aug 22 2019 - 13:41:33 EST


[ Upstream commit 7622236ceb167aa3857395f9bdaf871442aa467e ]

So I have been having lots of trouble with hand-crafted perf.data files
causing segfaults and the like, so I have started fuzzing the perf tool.

First issue found:

If f_header.attr_size is 0 in the perf.data file, then perf will crash
with a divide-by-zero error.

Committer note:

Added a pr_err() to tell the user why the command failed.
