When the function name for an inline frame is invalid, we must not try to demangle this symbol, otherwise we crash with: #0 0x0000555555895c01 in bfd_demangle () #1 0x0000555555823262 in demangle_sym (dso=0x555555d92b90, elf_name=0x0, kmodule=0) at util/symbol-elf.c:215 #2 dso__demangle_sym (dso=dso@entry=0x555555d92b90, kmodule=<optimized out>, kmodule@entry=0, elf_name=elf_name@entry=0x0) at util/symbol-elf.c:400 #3 0x00005555557fef4b in new_inline_sym (funcname=0x0, base_sym=0x555555d92b90, dso=0x555555d92b90) at util/srcline.c:89 #4 inline_list__append_dso_a2l (dso=dso@entry=0x555555c7bb00, node=node@entry=0x555555e31810, sym=sym@entry=0x555555d92b90) at util/srcline.c:264 #5 0x00005555557ff27f in addr2line (dso_name=dso_name@entry=0x555555d92430 "/home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf", addr=addr@entry=2888, file=file@entry=0x0, line=line@entry=0x0, dso=dso@entry=0x555555c7bb00, unwind_inlines=unwind_inlines@entry=true, node=0x555555e31810, sym=0x555555d92b90) at util/srcline.c:313 #6 0x00005555557ffe7c in addr2inlines (sym=0x555555d92b90, dso=0x555555c7bb00, addr=2888, dso_name=0x555555d92430 "/home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf") at util/srcline.c:358 So instead handle the case where we get invalid function names for inlined frames and use a fallback '??' function name instead. While this crash was originally reported by Hadrien for rust code, I can now also reproduce it with trivial C++ code. Indeed, it seems like libbfd fails to interpret the debug information for the inline frame symbol name: $ addr2line -e /home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf -if b48 main /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:610 ?? /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:618 ?? /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:675 ?? /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:685 main /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 I've reported this bug upstream and also attached a patch there which should fix this issue: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23715 Reported-by: Hadrien Grasland <grasland@lal.in2p3.fr> Signed-off-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Fixes: a64489c56c30 ("perf report: Find the inline stack for a given address") [ The above 'Fixes:' cset is where originally the problem was introduced, i.e. using a2l->funcname without checking if it is NULL, but this current patch fixes the current codebase, i.e. multiple csets were applied after a64489c56c30 before the problem was reported by Hadrien ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180926135207.30263-3-milian.wolff@kdab.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
