Commit a2408a7036 ("perf evlist: Maintain evlist->all_cpus")
introduces a test case for cpumap merge operation, see functions
perf_cpu_map__merge() and test__cpu_map_merge().
The test case fails on s390 with this error message:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -Fvvvvv 52
52: Merge cpu map :
--- start ---
cpumask list: 1-2,4-5,7
perf: /root/linux/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:131:\
refcount_sub_and_test: Assertion `!(new > val)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
[root@m35lp76 perf]#
The root cause is in the function test__cpu_map_merge():
It creates two cpu_maps named 'a' and 'b':
struct perf_cpu_map *a = perf_cpu_map__new("4,2,1");
struct perf_cpu_map *b = perf_cpu_map__new("4,5,7");
and creates a third map named 'c' which is the result of
the merge of maps a and b:
struct perf_cpu_map *c = perf_cpu_map__merge(a, b);
After some verifaction of the merged cpu_map all three
of them are have their reference count reduced and are
freed:
perf_cpu_map__put(a); (1)
perf_cpu_map__put(b);
perf_cpu_map__put(c);
The release of perf_cpu_map__put(a) is wrong. The map
is already released and free'ed as part of the function
perf_cpu_map__merge(struct perf_cpu_map *orig,
| struct perf_cpu_map *other)
+--> perf_cpu_map__put(orig);
|
+--> cpu_map__delete(orig)
At the end perf_cpu_map_put() is called for map 'orig'
alias 'a' and since the reference count is 1, the map
is deleted, as can be seen by the following gdb trace:
(gdb) where
#0 tcache_put (tc_idx=0, chunk=0x156cc30) at malloc.c:2940
#1 _int_free (av=0x3fffd49ee80 <main_arena>, p=0x156cc30,
have_lock=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:4222
#2 0x00000000012d5e78 in cpu_map__delete (map=0x156cc40) at cpumap.c:31
#3 0x00000000012d5f7a in perf_cpu_map__put (map=0x156cc40) at cpumap.c:45
#4 0x00000000012d723a in perf_cpu_map__merge (orig=0x156cc40,
other=0x156cc60) at cpumap.c:343
#5 0x000000000110cdd0 in test__cpu_map_merge (
test=0x14ea6c8 <generic_tests+2856>, subtest=-1) at tests/cpumap.c:128
Thus the perf_cpu_map__put(a) (see (1) above) frees map 'a'
a second time and causes the failure. Fix this be removing that
function call.
Output after:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -Fvvvvv 52
52: Merge cpu map :
--- start ---
cpumask list: 1-2,4-5,7
---- end ----
Merge cpu map: Ok

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
