[PATCH 1/1] perf machine: Fix segfault for kernel.kptr_restrict=2

Show all headers | View raw

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

Michael reported the segfault when kernel.kptr_restrict=2 is set.

  $ perf record ls
  ...
  perf: Segmentation fault

  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The reason is that with kernel.kptr_restrict=2, we don't get
the symbol from machine__get_running_kernel_start, which we
want to use in maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym and we crash.

Check the symbol name value before calling
maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and succeed without ref_reloc_sym
being set. It's safe because we check its existence before we use it.
