Revision 8ad9219e08af12a5652892e273336dbd31b25b03 authored by Stephane Eranian on 17 January 2014, 15:34:06 UTC, committed by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo on 20 January 2014, 19:19:09 UTC
This patch fixes a memory corruption problem with the xyarray when the evsel fds get closed at the end of the run_perf_stat() call. It could be triggered with: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-cores/ ls When cpumask are used by events (.e.g, RAPL or uncores) then the evsel fds are allocated based on the actual number of CPUs monitored. That number can be smaller than the total number of CPUs on the system. The problem arises at the end by perf stat closes the fds twice. When fds are closed, their entry in the xyarray are set to -1. The first close() on the evsel is made from __run_perf_stat() and it uses the actual number of CPUS for the event which is how the xyarray was allocated for. The second is from perf_evlist_close() but that one is on the total number of CPUs in the system, so it assume the xyarray was allocated to cover it. However it was not, and some writes corrupt memory. The fix is in perf_evlist_close() is to first try with the evsel->cpus if present, if not use the evlist->cpus. That fixes the problem.
