perf xyarray: Fix wrong processing when closing evsel fd
In current xyarray code, xyarray__max_x() returns max_y, and xyarray__max_y() returns max_x. It's confusing and for code logic it looks not correct. Error happens when closing evsel fd. Let's see this scenario: 1. Allocate an fd (pseudo-code) perf_evsel__alloc_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel, int ncpus, int nthreads) { evsel->fd = xyarray__new(ncpus, nthreads, sizeof(int)); } xyarray__new(int xlen, int ylen, size_t entry_size) { size_t row_size = ylen * entry_size; struct xyarray *xy = zalloc(sizeof(*xy) + xlen * row_size); xy->entry_size = entry_size; xy->row_size = row_size; xy->entries = xlen * ylen; xy->max_x = xlen; xy->max_y = ylen; ...... } So max_x is ncpus, max_y is nthreads and row_size = nthreads * 4. 2. Use perf syscall and get the fd int perf_evsel__open(struct perf_evsel *evsel, struct cpu_map *cpus, struct thread_map *threads) { for (cpu = 0; cpu < cpus->nr; cpu++) { for (thread = 0; thread < nthreads; thread++) { int fd, group_fd; fd = sys_perf_event_open(&evsel->attr, pid, cpus->map[cpu], group_fd, flags); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = fd; } } static inline void *xyarray__entry(struct xyarray *xy, int x, int y) { return &xy->contents[x * xy->row_size + y * xy->entry_size]; } These codes don't have issues. The issue happens in the closing of fd. 3. Close fd. void perf_evsel__close_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel) { int cpu, thread; for (cpu = 0; cpu < xyarray__max_x(evsel->fd); cpu++) for (thread = 0; thread < xyarray__max_y(evsel->fd); ++thread) { close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread)); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1; } } Since xyarray__max_x() returns max_y (nthreads) and xyarry__max_y() returns max_x (ncpus), so above code is actually to be: for (cpu = 0; cpu < nthreads; cpu++) for (thread = 0; thread < ncpus; ++thread) { close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread)); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1; } It's not correct! This change is introduced by "475fb533fb7d" ("perf evsel: Fix buffer overflow while freeing events") This fix is to let xyarray__max_x() return max_x (ncpus) and let xyarry__max_y() return max_y (nthreads) Committer note: This was also fixed by Ravi Bangoria, who provided the same patch, noticing the problem with 'perf record': <quote Ravi> I see 'perf record -p <pid>' crashes with following log: *** Error in `./perf': free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x000000000298b340 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x777e5)[0x7f7fd85c87e5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x8037a)[0x7f7fd85d137a] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(cfree+0x4c)[0x7f7fd85d553c] ./perf(perf_evsel__close+0xb4)[0x4b7614] ./perf(perf_evlist__delete+0x100)[0x4ab180] ./perf(cmd_record+0x1d9)[0x43a5a9] ./perf[0x49aa2f] ./perf(main+0x631)[0x427841] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7f7fd8571830] ./perf(_start+0x29)[0x427a59] </> Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Fixes: d74be4767367 ("perf xyarray: Save max_x, max_y") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1508339478-26674-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1508327446-15302-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
