If a session contains no events, we can get stuck in an infinite loop in __perf_session__process_events, with a non-zero file_size and data_offset, but a zero data_size. In this case, we can mmap the entirety of the file (consisting of the file and attribute headers), and fetch_mmaped_event will correctly refuse to read any (unmapped and non-existent) event headers. This causes __perf_session__process_events to unmap the file and retry with the exact same parameters, getting stuck in an infinite loop. This has been observed to result in an exit-time hang when counting rare/unschedulable events with perf record, and can be triggered artificially with the script below: ---- #!/bin/sh printf "REPRO: launching perf\n"; ./perf record -e software/config=9/ sleep 1 & PERF_PID=$!; sleep 0.002; kill -2 $PERF_PID; printf "REPRO: waiting for perf (%d) to exit...\n" "$PERF_PID"; wait $PERF_PID; printf "REPRO: perf exited\n"; ---- To avoid this, have __perf_session__process_events bail out early when the file has no data (i.e. it has no events). Commiter note: I only managed to reproduce this when setting /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to '1' and changing the code to purposefully not process any samples and no synthesized samples, i.e. kptr_restrict prevents 'record' from synthesizing the kernel mmaps for vmlinux + modules and since it is a workload started from perf, we don't synthesize mmap/comm records for existing threads. Adrian Hunter managed to reproduce it in his environment tho.
