perf intel-pt: Fix segfault tracing transactions
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Tracing a workload that uses transactions gave a seg fault as follows:

  perf record -e intel_pt// workload
  perf report
  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x000000000054b58c in intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb (ptq=0x1a36110)
  	at util/intel-pt.c:929
  929 ptq->last_branch_rb->nr = 0;
  (gdb) p ptq->last_branch_rb
  $1 = (struct branch_stack *) 0x0
  (gdb) up
  1148 intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb(ptq);

  1143 if (ret)
  1144 pr_err("Intel Processor Trace: failed to deliver transaction event
  1145 ret);
  1146
  1147 if (pt->synth_opts.callchain)
  1148 intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb(ptq);

  1151 }

  (gdb) bt
   #0 0x000000000054b58c in intel_pt_reset_last_branch_rb (ptq=0x1a36110)

Caused by checking the 'callchain' flag when it should have been the
'last_branch' flag.  Fix that.
