From: Thomas Richter tmricht@linux.vnet.ibm.com
[ Upstream commit 35a8a148d8c1ee9e5ae18f9565a880490f816f89 ]
The command 'perf annotate' parses the output of objdump and also investigates the comments produced by objdump. For example the output of objdump produces (on x86):
23eee: 4c 8b 3d 13 01 21 00 mov 0x210113(%rip),%r15 # 234008 <stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9a8>
and the function mov__parse() is called to investigate the complete line. Mov__parse() breaks this line into several parts and finally calls function comment__symbol() to parse the data after the comment character '#'. Comment__symbol() expects a hexadecimal address followed by a symbol in '<' and '>' brackets.
However the 2nd parameter given to function comment__symbol() always points to the comment character '#'. The address parsing always returns 0 because the character '#' is not a digit and strtoull() fails without being noticed.
Fix this by advancing the second parameter to function comment__symbol() by one byte before invocation and add an error check after strtoull() has been called.
