[PATCH 1/1] perf record: Fix memset out-of-range error

From: Haoze Xie
Date: Sun Jul 07 2024 - 14:01:32 EST


Modified the object of 'memset' from '&lost.lost' to '&lost' in
record__read_lost_samples. This allows 'memset' to access memory properly
without causing out-of-bounds problems.

The problems got from builtin-record.c are:

In file included from /usr/include/string.h:495,
from util/parse-events.h:13,
from builtin-record.c:14:
In function 'memset',
inlined from 'record__read_lost_samples' at
builtin-record.c:1958:6,
inlined from '__cmd_record.constprop' at builtin-record.c:2817:2:
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/string_fortified.h:71:10: error:
'__builtin_memset' offset [17, 64] from the object at 'lost' is out
of the bounds of referenced subobject 'lost' with type
'struct perf_record_lost_samples' at offset 0 [-Werror=array-bounds]
71|return __builtin___memset_chk (__dest,__ch,__len,__bos0 (__dest));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The error arised when performing a memset operation on the 'lost' variable,
the bytes of 'sizeof(lost)' exceeds that of '&lost.lost', which are 64
and 16.
