Yes, the patch fixes this segfault. Please CC me on the official patch to
back port the official version.

Let me try roll a fixed version to confirm.

hi,
any backtrace or info on how to reproduce it?

argh.. yea, we need to check oe->buffer in ordered_events__free
would attached change fix it for you?

perf segfault in in ordered_events__free()
Hi,
We are debugging a segfault of perf in ordered_events__free().
Disassemble shows the segfault was caused by oe->buff == NULL
in the following line:
/*
* Current buffer might not have all the events allocated
* yet, we need to free only allocated ones ...
*/
list_del(>buffer->list);
After poking around the code, I suspect it is caused by the following
condition in alloc_event():
} else if (oe->buffer) {
new = >buffer->event[oe->buffer_idx];
if (++oe->buffer_idx == MAX_SAMPLE_BUFFER)
oe->buffer = NULL;
Does this theory make sense? If so, what would be the best fix?
Thanks in advance!
Song
