perf report: Don't crash on invalid inline debug information
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the function name for an inline frame is invalid, we must not try
to demangle this symbol, otherwise we crash with:

  #0  0x0000555555895c01 in bfd_demangle ()

So instead handle the case where we get invalid function names for
inlined frames and use a fallback '??' function name instead.

While this crash was originally reported by Hadrien for rust code, I can
now also reproduce it with trivial C++ code. Indeed, it seems like
libbfd fails to interpret the debug information for the inline frame
symbol name:

  $ addr2line -e /home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf -if b48
  main
  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:610
  ??
  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:618
  ??
  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:675

  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:685
  main
  /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39

I've reported this bug upstream and also attached a patch there which
should fix this issue:

Fixes: a64489c ("perf report: Find the inline stack for a given address")
[ The above 'Fixes:' cset is where originally the problem was
  introduced, i.e.  using a2l->funcname without checking if it is NULL,
  but this current patch fixes the current codebase, i.e. multiple csets
  were applied after a64489c before the problem was reported by Hadrien ]
