Subject[PATCH 08/17] perf probe: Fix to handle errors in line_range searching
Date
From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

As Namhyung reported(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/1/89),
current perf-probe -L option doesn't handle errors in line-range
searching correctly. It causes a SEGV if an error occured in the
line-range searching.

----
$ perf probe -x ./perf -v -L map__load
Open Debuginfo file: /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/perf
fname: util/map.c, lineno:153
New line range: 153 to 2147483647
path: (null)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
----

This is because line_range_inline_cb() ignores errors
from find_line_range_by_line() which means that lr->path is
already freed on the error path in find_line_range_by_line().
As a result, get_real_path() accesses the lr->path and it
causes a NULL pointer exception.

This fixes line_range_inline_cb() to handle the error correctly,
and report it to the caller.

Anyway, this just fixes a possible SEGV bug, Namhyung's patch
is also required.
