[PATCH 19/32] perf callchain: Fix attr.sample_max_stack setting
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jan 17 2018 - 11:18:12 EST
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>
When setting the "dwarf" unwinder for a specific event and not
specifying the max-stack, the attr.sample_max_stack ended up using an
uninitialized callchain_param.max_stack, fix it by using designated
initializers for that callchain_param variable, zeroing all non
explicitely initialized struct members.
Here is what happened:
# perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
callchain: type DWARF
callchain: stack dump size 8192
perf_event_attr:
type 2
size 112
config 0x730
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 1
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC
exclude_callchain_user 1
{ wakeup_events, wakeup_watermark } 1
sample_regs_user 0xff0fff
sample_stack_user 8192
sample_max_stack 50656
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75
Value too large for defined data type
# perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
callchain: type DWARF
callchain: stack dump size 8192
perf_event_attr:
type 2
size 112
config 0x730
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC
exclude_callchain_user 1
sample_regs_user 0xff0fff
sample_stack_user 8192
sample_max_stack 30448
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75
Value too large for defined data type
#
Now the attr.sample_max_stack is set to zero and the above works as
expected:
# perf trace --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
