Jaroslav reported errors from valgrind over perf python script: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online # valgrind ./test.py ==7524== Memcheck, a memory error detector ... ==7524== Command: ./test.py ==7524== pid 7526 exited ==7524== Invalid read of size 8 ==7524== at 0xCC2C2B3: perf_mmap__read_forward (evlist.c:780) ==7524== by 0xCC2A681: pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu (python.c:959) ... ==7524== Address 0x65c4868 is 16 bytes after a block of size 459,36.. ==7524== at 0x4C2B955: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:711) ==7524== by 0xCC2F484: zalloc (util.h:35) ==7524== by 0xCC2F484: perf_evlist__alloc_mmap (evlist.c:978) ... The reason for this is in the python interface, that allows a script to pass arbitrary cpu number, which is then used to access struct perf_evlist::mmap array. That's obviously wrong and works only when if all cpus are available and fails if some cpu is missing, like in the example above. This patch makes pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() search the evlist's maps array for the proper map to access. It's linear search at the moment. Based on the way how is the read_on_cpu used, I don't think we need to be fast in here. But we could add some hash in the middle to make it fast/er. We don't allow python interface to set write_backward event attribute, so it's safe to check only evlist's mmaps.
