From 60b7ed54a41b550d50caf7f2418db4a7e75b5bdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Athira Rajeev Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 13:55:06 -0400 Subject: powerpc/perf: Fix crash in perf_instruction_pointer() when ppmu is not set On systems without any specific PMU driver support registered, running perf record causes Oops. The relevant portion from call trace: BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000040 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0021f0c Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] BE PAGE_SIZE=4K PREEMPT CMPCPRO SAF3000 DIE NOTIFICATION CPU: 0 PID: 442 Comm: null_syscall Not tainted 5.13.0-rc6-s3k-dev-01645-g7649ee3d2957 #5164 NIP: c0021f0c LR: c00e8ad8 CTR: c00d8a5c NIP perf_instruction_pointer+0x10/0x60 LR perf_prepare_sample+0x344/0x674 Call Trace: perf_prepare_sample+0x7c/0x674 (unreliable) perf_event_output_forward+0x3c/0x94 __perf_event_overflow+0x74/0x14c perf_swevent_hrtimer+0xf8/0x170 __hrtimer_run_queues.constprop.0+0x160/0x318 hrtimer_interrupt+0x148/0x3b0 timer_interrupt+0xc4/0x22c Decrementer_virt+0xb8/0xbc During perf record session, perf_instruction_pointer() is called to capture the sample IP. This function in core-book3s accesses ppmu->flags. If a platform specific PMU driver is not registered, ppmu is set to NULL and accessing its members results in a crash. Fix this crash by checking if ppmu is set.
