From 4584f084aa9d8033d5911935837dbee7b082d0e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Rogers Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 10:09:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf parse: Fix potential memory leak when handling tracepoint errors An error may be in place when tracepoint_error is called, use parse_events__handle_error to avoid a memory leak and to capture the first and last error. Error detected by LLVM's libFuzzer using the following event: $ perf stat -e 'msr/event/,f:e' event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e' \___ can't access trace events Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/f/e Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/' Initial error: event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e' \___ no value assigned for term Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf stat [] [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jin Yao Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: clang-built-linux@googlegroups.com Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191120180925.21787-1-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/parse-events.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c index 6c313c4087ed..ed7c008b9c8b 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c @@ -511,6 +511,7 @@ int parse_events_add_cache(struct list_head *list, int *idx, static void tracepoint_error(struct parse_events_error *e, int err, const char *sys, const char *name) { + const char *str; char help[BUFSIZ]; if (!e) @@ -524,18 +525,18 @@ static void tracepoint_error(struct parse_events_error *e, int err, switch (err) { case EACCES: - e->str = strdup("can't access trace events"); + str = "can't access trace events"; break; case ENOENT: - e->str = strdup("unknown tracepoint"); + str = "unknown tracepoint"; break; default: - e->str = strdup("failed to add tracepoint"); + str = "failed to add tracepoint"; break; } tracing_path__strerror_open_tp(err, help, sizeof(help), sys, name); - e->help = strdup(help); + parse_events__handle_error(e, 0, strdup(str), strdup(help)); } static int add_tracepoint(struct list_head *list, int *idx, -- 2.30.2
