[PATCH 1/4] perf report: Fix segfault when 'sym' sort key is not used
From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Aug 26 2024 - 18:10:59 EST
The fields in the hist_entry are filled on-demand which means they only
have meaningful values when relevant sort keys are used. So if neither
of 'dso' nor 'sym' sort keys are used, the map/symbols in the hist entry
can be garbage. So it shouldn't access it unconditionally.
I got a segfault, when I wanted to see cgroup profiles.
$ sudo perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth=cgroup true
$ sudo perf report -s cgroup
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

As you can see the entry->ms.map was NULL even if he->ms.map has a
value. This is because 'sym' sort key is not given, so it cannot assume
whether he->ms.sym and entry->ms.sym is the same. I only checked the
'sym' sort key here as it implies 'dso' behavior (so maps are the same).
