perf probe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in convert_variable_location()
If we just check whether the variable can be converted, 'tvar' should be a null pointer. However, the null pointer check is missing in the 'Constant value' execution path. The following cases can trigger this problem: $ cat test.c #include <stdio.h> void main(void) { int a; const int b = 1; asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b)); printf("a: %d\n", a); } $ gcc test.c -o test -O -g $ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -L "main" <main@/home/lhf/test.c:0> 0 void main(void) { 2 int a; const int b = 1; asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b)); 6 printf("a: %d\n", a); } $ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6" Segmentation fault The check on 'tvar' is added. If 'tavr' is a null pointer, we return 0 to indicate that the variable can be converted. Now, we can successfully show the variables that can be accessed. $ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6" Available variables at main:6 @<main+13> char* __fmt int a int b However, the variable 'b' cannot be tracked. $ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b" Failed to find the location of the 'b' variable at this address. Perhaps it has been optimized out. Use -V with the --range option to show 'b' location range. Error: Failed to add events. This is because __die_find_variable_cb() did not successfully match variable 'b', which has the DW_AT_const_value attribute instead of DW_AT_location. We added support for DW_AT_const_value in __die_find_variable_cb(). With this modification, we can successfully track the variable 'b'. $ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b" p:probe_test/main_L6 /home/lhf/test:0x1156 b=\1:s32 Fixes: 66f69b21 ("perf probe: Support DW_AT_const_value constant value") Signed-off-by: Li Huafei <lihuafei1@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Frank Ch.
