perf test: "Session topology" dumps core on s390
The "perf test Session topology" entry fails with core dump on s390. The root cause is a NULL pointer dereference in function check_cpu_topology() line 76 (or line 82 without -v). The session->header.env.cpu variable is NULL because on s390 function process_cpu_topology() returns with error: socket_id number is too big. You may need to upgrade the perf tool. and releases the env.cpu variable via zfree() and sets it to NULL. Here is the gdb output: (gdb) n 76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i, (gdb) n Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000010f4d9e in check_cpu_topology (path=0x3ffffffd6c8 "/tmp/perf-test-J6CHMa", map=0x14a1740) at tests/topology.c:76 76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i, (gdb) Make sure the env.cpu variable is not used when its NULL. Test for NULL pointer and return TEST_SKIP if so.
