perf buildid-list: Fix crash when processing PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Thomas reported that 'perf buildid-list' gets a SEGFAULT due to NULL
pointer deref when he ran it on a data with namespace events.  It was
because the buildid_id__mark_dso_hit_ops lacks the namespace event
handler and perf_too__fill_default() didn't set it.

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Fix it by adding a stub event handler for namespace event.

Committer testing:

Further clarifying, plain using 'perf buildid-list' will not end up in a
SEGFAULT when processing a perf.data file with namespace info:

  # perf record -a --namespaces sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.024 MB perf.data (1058 samples) ]
  # perf buildid-list | wc -l
  38
  # perf buildid-list | head -5

It is only when one asks for checking what of those entries actually had
samples, i.e. when we use either -H or --with-hits, that we will process
all the PERF_RECORD_ events, and since tools/perf/builtin-buildid-list.c
neither explicitely set a perf_tool.namespaces() callback nor the
default stub was set that we end up, when processing a
PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACE record, causing a SEGFAULT:

  # perf buildid-list -H
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  ^C
