Subject[PATCH v2] perf test 39 (Session topology) dumps core on s390
Date
perf test 39 fails with core dump on s390. The root cause
is a NULL pointer reference in function check_cpu_topology()
line 76 (or line 82 without -v).
The session->header.env.cpu variable is NULL because on s390
function process_cpu_topology() returns with error:
socket_id number is too big.
You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
and releases the env.cpu variable via zfree() and sets it to NULL.

Here is the gdb output:
(gdb) n
76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb) n

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000010f4d9e in check_cpu_topology (path=0x3ffffffd6c8
"/tmp/perf-test-J6CHMa", map=0x14a1740) at tests/topology.c:76
76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb)

Make sure the env.cpu variable is not used when its NULL.
Test for NULL pointer and return TEST_SKIP if so.

Output before:
[root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf test -F 39
39: Session topology :Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@p23lp27 perf]#

Output after:
[root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf test -vF 39
39: Session topology :
--- start ---
templ file: /tmp/perf-test-Ajx59D
socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
---- end ----
Session topology: Skip
