[ Upstream commit 249d98e567e25dd03e015e2d31e1b7b9648f34df ]
When setting the "dwarf" unwinder for a specific event and not specifying the max-stack, the attr.sample_max_stack ended up using an uninitialized callchain_param.max_stack, fix it by using designated initializers for that callchain_param variable, zeroing all non explicitely initialized struct members.
Here is what happened:
# perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1 callchain: type DWARF callchain: stack dump size 8192 perf_event_attr: type 2 size 112 config 0x730 { sample_period, sample_freq } 1 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC exclude_callchain_user 1 { wakeup_events, wakeup_watermark } 1 sample_regs_user 0xff0fff sample_stack_user 8192 sample_max_stack 50656 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75 Value too large for defined data type # perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1 callchain: type DWARF callchain: stack dump size 8192 perf_event_attr: type 2 size 112 config 0x730 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC exclude_callchain_user 1 sample_regs_user 0xff0fff sample_stack_user 8192 sample_max_stack 30448 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75 Value too large for defined data type #
Now the attr.sample_max_stack is set to zero and the above works as expected:
# perf trace --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1 PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.072 ms
