Running commands such as
# ./perf stat -e cs -- true
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# ./perf stat -e cpu-clock-- true
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

dump core. This should not happen as these events are defined
even when no hardware PMU is available.
Debugging this reveals this call chain:
perf_pmus__find_by_type(type=1)
+--> pmu_read_sysfs(core_only=false)
+--> perf_pmu__find2(dirfd=3, name=0x152a113 "software")
+--> perf_pmu__lookup(pmus=0x14f0568 <other_pmus>, dirfd=3,
lookup_name=0x152a113 "software")
+--> perf_pmu__find_events_table (pmu=0x1532130)
Now the pmu is "software" and it tries to find a proper table
generated by the pmu-event generation process for s390:
# cd pmu-events/
# ./jevents.py s390 all /root/linux/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch |\
grep -E '^const struct pmu_table_entry'
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z10[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z13[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z13[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z14[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z14[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z15[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z15[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z16[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_z16[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_z196[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__cf_zec12[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__cf_zec12[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__test_soc_cpu[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_metrics__test_soc_cpu[] = {
const struct pmu_table_entry pmu_events__test_soc_sys[] = {
#
However event "software" is not listed, as can be seen in the
generated const struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[].
So in function perf_pmu__find_events_table(), the variable
table is initialized to NULL, but never set to a proper
value. The function scans all generated &pmu_events_map[]
tables, but no table matches, because the tables are
s390 CPU Measurement unit specific:
i = 0;
for (;;) {
const struct pmu_events_map *map = &pmu_events_map[i++];
if (!map->arch)
break;
--> the maps are there because the build generated them
if (!strcmp_cpuid_str(map->cpuid, cpuid)) {
table = &map->event_table;
break;
}
--> Since no matching CPU string the table var remains 0x0
}
free(cpuid);
if (!pmu)
return table;
--> The pmu is "software" so it exists and no return
--> and here perf dies because table is 0x0
for (i = 0; i < table->num_pmus; i++) {
...
}
return NULL;
Fix this and do not access the table variable. Instead return 0x0
which is the same return code when the for-loop was not successful.
