[ Upstream commit d2753e6b4882a637a0e8fb3b9c2e15f33265300e ] Paul Menzel reported the following bug: > Enabling the undefined behavior sanitizer and building GNU/Linux 4.18-rc5+ > (with some unrelated commits) with GCC 8.1.0 from Debian Sid/unstable, the > warning below is shown. > > > [ 2.111913] > > ================================================================================ > > [ 2.111917] UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in arch/x86/events/amd/ibs.c:582:24 > > [ 2.111919] member access within null pointer of type 'struct perf_event' > > [ 2.111926] CPU: 0 PID: 144 Comm: udevadm Not tainted 4.18.0-rc5-00316-g4864b68cedf2 #104 > > [ 2.111928] Hardware name: ASROCK E350M1/E350M1, BIOS TIMELESS 01/01/1970 > > [ 2.111930] Call Trace: > > [ 2.111943] dump_stack+0x55/0x89 > > [ 2.111949] ubsan_epilogue+0xb/0x33 > > [ 2.111953] handle_null_ptr_deref+0x7f/0x90 > > [ 2.111958] __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1+0x55/0x60 > > [ 2.111964] perf_ibs_handle_irq+0x596/0x620 The code dereferences event before checking the STARTED bit. Patch below should cure the issue. The warning should not trigger, if I analyzed the thing correctly. (And Paul's testing confirms this.)

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
