[ Upstream commit d2753e6b4882a637a0e8fb3b9c2e15f33265300e ]
Paul Menzel reported the following bug:
Enabling the undefined behavior sanitizer and building GNU/Linux 4.18-rc5+ (with some unrelated commits) with GCC 8.1.0 from Debian Sid/unstable, the warning below is shown.
[ 2.111913]
[ 2.111917] UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in arch/x86/events/amd/ibs.c:582:24 [ 2.111919] member access within null pointer of type 'struct perf_event' [ 2.111926] CPU: 0 PID: 144 Comm: udevadm Not tainted 4.18.0-rc5-00316-g4864b68cedf2 #104 [ 2.111928] Hardware name: ASROCK E350M1/E350M1, BIOS TIMELESS 01/01/1970 [ 2.111930] Call Trace: [ 2.111943] dump_stack+0x55/0x89 [ 2.111949] ubsan_epilogue+0xb/0x33 [ 2.111953] handle_null_ptr_deref+0x7f/0x90 [ 2.111958] __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1+0x55/0x60 [ 2.111964] perf_ibs_handle_irq+0x596/0x620
The code dereferences event before checking the STARTED bit. Patch below should cure the issue.
The warning should not trigger, if I analyzed the thing correctly. (And Paul's testing confirms this.)
