From 4592281403e74dc4401d5803ec9948d43bbee7ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Suzuki K. Poulose" Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:30:07 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Remove the node from rblist in strlist__remove The following commit: author David Ahern Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:31:33 +0000 (22:31 -0600) committer Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Fri, 3 Aug 2012 13:39:51 +0000 (10:39 -0300) commit ee8dd3ca43f151d9fbe1edeef68fb8a77eb9f047 causes a double free during a probe deletion as the node is never removed from the list via strlist__remove(), even though it gets 'deleted' (read free()'d). This causes a double free when we do strlist__delete() as the node is already deleted but present in the rblist. [suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -a do_fork Added new event: probe:do_fork (on do_fork) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1 [suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -d do_fork Removed event: probe:do_fork *** glibc detected *** ./perf: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000000000133d600 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x38eec7dda6] ./perf(rblist__delete+0x5c)[0x47d3dc] ./perf(del_perf_probe_events+0xb6)[0x47b826] ./perf(cmd_probe+0x471)[0x42c8d1] ./perf[0x4150b3] ./perf(main+0x501)[0x4148e1] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xed)[0x38eec2169d] ./perf[0x414a61] Make sure we remove the node from the rblist before we delete the node. The rblist__remove_node() will invoke rblist->node_delete, which will take care of deleting the node with the suitable function provided by the user. Reported-by: Ananth N.
