perf mem report aborts as below sometimes (during some corner
case) in powerpc:
# ./perf mem report 1>out
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
The backtrace is as below:
__pthread_kill_implementation ()
raise ()
abort ()
__libc_message
__fortify_fail
__stack_chk_fail
hist_entry.lvl_snprintf
__sort__hpp_entry
__hist_entry__snprintf
hists.fprintf
cmd_report
cmd_mem
Snippet of code which triggers the issue
from tools/perf/util/sort.c
static int hist_entry__lvl_snprintf(struct hist_entry *he, char *bf,
size_t size, unsigned int width)
{
char out[64];
perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf(out, sizeof(out), he->mem_info);
return repsep_snprintf(bf, size, "%-*s", width, out);
}
The value of "out" is filled from perf_mem_data_src value.
Debugging this further showed that for some corner cases, the
value of "data_src" was pointing to wrong value. This resulted
in bigger size of string and causing stack check fail.
The perf mem data source values are captured in the sample via
isa207_get_mem_data_src function. The initial check is to fetch
the type of sampled instruction. If the type of instruction is
not valid (not a load/store instruction), the function returns.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
