perf ui browser: Don't save pointer to stack memory
[ Upstream commit 769e6a1 ] ui_browser__show() is capturing the input title that is stack allocated memory in hist_browser__run(). Avoid a use after return by strdup-ing the string. Committer notes: Further explanation from Ian Rogers: My command line using tui is: $ sudo bash -c 'rm /tmp/asan.log*; export ASAN_OPTIONS="log_path=/tmp/asan.log"; /tmp/perf/perf mem record -a sleep 1; /tmp/perf/perf mem report' I then go to the perf annotate view and quit. This triggers the asan error (from the log file): ``` ==1254591==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-use-after-return on address 0x7f2813331920 at pc 0x7f28180 65991 bp 0x7fff0a21c750 sp 0x7fff0a21bf10 READ of size 80 at 0x7f2813331920 thread T0 #0 0x7f2818065990 in __interceptor_strlen ../../../../src/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors.inc:461 frank-w#1 0x7f2817698251 in SLsmg_write_wrapped_string (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libslang.so.2+0x98251) frank-w#2 0x7f28176984b9 in SLsmg_write_nstring (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libslang.so.2+0x984b9) frank-w#3 0x55c94045b365 in ui_browser__write_nstring ui/browser.c:60 frank-w#4 0x55c94045c558 in __ui_browser__show_title ui/browser.c:266 frank-w#5 0x55c94045c776 in ui_browser__show ui/browser.c:288 frank-w#6 0x55c94045c06d in ui_browser__handle_resize ui/browser.c:206 frank-w#7 0x55c94047979b in do_annotate ui/browsers/hists.c:2458 frank-w#8 0x55c94047fb17 in evsel__hists_browse ui/browsers/hists.c:3412 frank-w#9 0x55c940480a0c in perf_evsel_menu__run ui/browsers/hists.c:3527 frank-w#10 0x55c940481108 in __evlist__tui_browse_hists ui/browsers/hists.c:3613 frank-w#11 0x55c9404813f7 in evlist__tui_browse_hists ui/browsers/hists.c:3661 frank-w#12 0x55c93ffa253f in report__browse_hists tools/perf/builtin-report.c:671 frank-w#13 0x55c93ffa58ca in __cmd_report tools/perf/builtin-report.c:1141 frank-w#14 0x55c93ffaf159 in cmd_report tools/perf/builtin-report.c:1805 frank-w#15 0x55c94000c05c in report_events tools/perf/builtin-mem.c:374 frank-w#16 0x55c94000d96d in cmd_mem tools/perf/builtin-mem.c:516 frank-w#17 0x55c9400e44ee in run_builtin tools/perf/perf.c:350 frank-w#18 0x55c9400e4a5a in handle_internal_command tools/perf/perf.c:403 frank-w#19 0x55c9400e4e22 in run_argv tools/perf/perf.c:447 frank-w#20 0x55c9400e53ad in main tools/perf/perf.c:561 frank-w#21 0x7f28170456c9 in __libc_start_call_main ../sysdeps/nptl/libc_start_call_main.h:58 frank-w#22 0x7f2817045784 in __libc_start_main_impl ../csu/libc-start.c:360 frank-w#23 0x55c93ff544c0 in _start (/tmp/perf/perf+0x19a4c0) (BuildId: 84899b0e8c7d3a3eaa67b2eb35e3d8b2f8cd4c93) Address 0x7f2813331920 is located in stack of thread T0 at offset 32 in frame #0 0x55c94046e85e in hist_browser__run ui/browsers/hists.c:746 This frame has 1 object(s): [32, 192) 'title' (line 747) <== Memory access at offset 32 is inside this variable HINT: this may be a false positive if your program uses some custom stack unwind mechanism, swapcontext or vfork ``` hist_browser__run isn't on the stack so the asan error looks legit. There's no clean init/exit on struct ui_browser so I may be trading a use-after-return for a memory leak, but that seems look a good trade anyway.
