#1470062 — perf-4.8.0-rc3: Segmentation fault

I profiled kernel allmodconfig build (don't ask) and perf tui reliably
segfaults when trying to enter annotation mode for any of the
individual functions. It segfaults immediately before even showing
menu with choices.

perf: Segmentation fault
-------- backtrace --------
perf[0x5451fb]
/lib64/libc.so.6(+0x33290)[0x7fcec0a80290]
perf(__map__is_kernel+0x26)[0x4bbcd6]
perf[0x54287c]
perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x94)[0x543e84]
perf(cmd_report+0x1a34)[0x434884]
perf[0x478471]
perf(main+0x6c6)[0x4237e6]
/lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7fcec0a6d630]
perf(_start+0x29)[0x4238e9]

Steps to reproduce:
    rm -rf ../xxx
    mkdir ../xxx
    make O=../xxx ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig
    perf record -e cycles make O=../xxx -k -j5
    perf report

perf.data is 1.23 GB long , so be prepared.

Thanks for the report, trying to reproduce this.

So, I built the kernel with my normal .config, using your command line and got:

[acme@jouet linux]$ perf report --header-only perf.data
# ========
# captured on: Mon Aug 29 15:48:10 2016
# hostname : jouet
# os release : 4.8.0-rc3+
# perf version : 4.8.rc2.g21a116
# arch : x86_64
# nrcpus online : 4
# nrcpus avail : 4
# cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz
# cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,61,4
# total memory : 7869032 kB
# cmdline : /home/acme/bin/perf record -e cycles make O=../build/v4.8.0-rc4 -j -j5 
# event : name = cycles:u, , size = 112, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 4000, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled = 1, inherit = 1, exclude_kernel = 
# HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display
# HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display
# pmu mappings: intel_pt = 7, intel_bts = 6, uncore_arb = 12, cstate_pkg = 15, breakpoint = 5, uncore_cbox_1 = 11, power = 13, cpu = 4, software = 1, uncore_i
# HEADER_CACHE info available, use -I to display
# ========
#

But it didn't crash:

[acme@jouet linux]$ ls -lah perf.data
-rw-------. 1 acme acme 1.8G Aug 29 13:00 perf.data
[acme@jouet linux]$ 

[acme@jouet linux]$ perf --version
perf version 4.8.rc4.g3eab88

And this was with:

[acme@jouet linux]$ git log --oneline | head -5
3eab887a5542 Linux 4.8-rc4
25d0d91af770 Merge tag 'drm-fixes-for-4.8-rc4' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux

5d84ee796448 Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
[acme@jouet linux]$ 

I.e. 4.8-rc4 from git.

I've lost vmlinux and can't recreate it anymore. Oh well.
