Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with pointer types in the ->seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit the display function correctly. Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser. Committer testing: 1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines 2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options in the menu 3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash: # perf report --samples 1 perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x5a514a] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x385bf)[0x7f27281b55bf] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x161a67)[0x7f27282dea67] /lib64/libslang.so.2(SLsmg_write_wrapped_string+0x82)[0x7f272874a0b2] perf(ui_browser__argv_refresh+0x77)[0x5939a7] perf[0x5924cc] perf(ui_browser__run+0x39)[0x593449] perf(ui__popup_menu+0x83)[0x5a5263] perf[0x59f421] perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x3a0)[0x5a3780] perf(cmd_report+0x2746)[0x447136] perf[0x4a95fe] perf(main+0x61c)[0x42dc6c] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf2)[0x7f27281a1412] perf(_start+0x2d)[0x42de9d] # After applying this patch no crash takes place in such situation.
