From c2c5d45d46c8c0fd34291dec958670ad4816796f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:52:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Stop stack frame walking off kernel addresses boundaries While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address. In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel stacktrace. Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid kernel address. This fixes a hard lockup in x86-32.
