[ Upstream commit1e24ce402c] The addr_location map and maps fields in the inner loop were missing calls to map__get()/maps__get(). The subsequent addr_location__exit() call in each loop puts the map/maps fields causing use-after-free aborts. This issue reproduces on at least arm64 and x86_64 with something simple like `perf record -g ls` followed by `perf script -s script.py` with the following script: perf_db_export_mode = True perf_db_export_calls = False perf_db_export_callchains = True def sample_table(*args): print(f'sample_table({args})') def call_path_table(*args): print(f'call_path_table({args}') Committer testing: This test, just introduced by Ian Rogers, now passes, not segfaulting anymore: # perf test "perf script tests" 95: perf script tests : Ok # Fixes:0dd5041c9a("perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions") Signed-off-by: Ben Gainey <ben.gainey@arm.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231207140911.3240408-1-ben.gainey@arm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
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.
