Subject: [PATCH 2/2] coresight: Fix uninitialised pointer bug in etm_setup_aux()
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 10:45:59 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201029164559.1268531-3-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201029164559.1268531-1-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>
From: Mike Leach <mike.leach@linaro.org>
Commit [bb1860efc817] changed the sink handling code introducing an
uninitialised pointer bug. This results in the default sink selection
failing.
Prior to commit:
static void etm_setup_aux(...)
<snip>
struct coresight_device *sink;
<snip>
/* First get the selected sink from user space. */
if (event->attr.config2) {
id = (u32)event->attr.config2;
sink = coresight_get_sink_by_id(id);
} else {
sink = coresight_get_enabled_sink(true);
}
<ctd>
*sink always initialised - possibly to NULL which triggers the
automatic sink selection.
After commit:
static void etm_setup_aux(...)
<snip>
struct coresight_device *sink;
<snip>
/* First get the selected sink from user space. */
if (event->attr.config2) {
id = (u32)event->attr.config2;
sink = coresight_get_sink_by_id(id);
}
<ctd>
*sink pointer uninitialised when not providing a sink on the perf command
line. This breaks later checks to enable automatic sink selection.
Fixes: bb1860efc817 ("coresight: etm: perf: Sink selection using sysfs is deprecated")
