perf probe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in convert_variable_location()
If we just check whether the variable can be converted, 'tvar' should be
a null pointer. However, the null pointer check is missing in the
'Constant value' execution path.
The following cases can trigger this problem:
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
int a;
const int b = 1;
asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
printf("a: %d\n", a);
}
$ gcc test.c -o test -O -g
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -L "main"
<main@/home/lhf/test.c:0>
0 void main(void)
{
2 int a;
const int b = 1;
asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
6 printf("a: %d\n", a);
}
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
Segmentation fault
The check on 'tvar' is added. If 'tavr' is a null pointer, we return 0
to indicate that the variable can be converted. Now, we can successfully
show the variables that can be accessed.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
Available variables at main:6
@<main+13>
char* __fmt
int a
int b
However, the variable 'b' cannot be tracked.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
Failed to find the location of the 'b' variable at this address.
Perhaps it has been optimized out.
Use -V with the --range option to show 'b' location range.
Error: Failed to add events.
This is because __die_find_variable_cb() did not successfully match
variable 'b', which has the DW_AT_const_value attribute instead of
DW_AT_location. We added support for DW_AT_const_value in
__die_find_variable_cb(). With this modification, we can successfully
track the variable 'b'.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
p:probe_test/main_L6 /home/lhf/test:0x1156 b=\1:s32
Fixes: 66f69b219716 ("perf probe: Support DW_AT_const_value constant value")
