[ Upstream commitd8d85ce86d] The test case perf lock contention dumps core on s390. Run the following commands: # ./perf lock record -- ./perf bench sched messaging # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark: # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 2.799 [sec] [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.073 MB perf.data (100 samples) ] # # ./perf lock contention Segmentation fault (core dumped) # The function call stack is lengthy, here are the top 5 functions: # gdb ./perf core.24048 GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora Linux 12.1-6.fc37 Core was generated by `./perf lock contention'.

The issue is in function machine__is_lock_function() in file ./util/machine.c lines 3355: /* should not fail from here */ sym = machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name(machine, "__sched_text_end", &kmap); machine->sched.text_end = kmap->unmap_ip(kmap, sym->start) On s390 the symbol __sched_text_end is *NOT* in the symbol list and the resulting pointer sym is set to NULL. The sym->start is then a NULL pointer access and generates the core dump. The reason why __sched_text_end is not in the symbol list on s390 is simple: When the symbol list is created at perf start up with function calls dso__load +--> dso__load_vmlinux_path +--> dso__load_vmlinux +--> dso__load_sym +--> dso__load_sym_internal (reads kernel symbols) +--> symbols__fixup_end +--> symbols__fixup_duplicate The issue is in function symbols__fixup_duplicate(). It deletes all symbols with have the same address. On s390: # nm -g ~/linux/vmlinux| fgrep c68390 0000000000c68390 T __cpuidle_text_start 0000000000c68390 T __sched_text_end # two symbols have identical addresses and __sched_text_end is considered duplicate (in ascending sort order) and removed from the symbol list. Therefore it is missing and an invalid pointer reference occurs. The code checks for symbol __sched_text_start and when it exists assumes symbol __sched_text_end is also in the symbol table. However this is not the case on s390. Same situation exists for symbol __lock_text_start: 0000000000c68770 T __cpuidle_text_end 0000000000c68770 T __lock_text_start This symbol is also removed from the symbol table but used in function machine__is_lock_function(). To fix this and keep duplicate symbols in the symbol table, set symbol_conf.allow_aliases to true. This prevents the removal of duplicate symbols in function symbols__fixup_duplicate().

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.
