Mark Rutland da9ec3d3dd perf: Correctly handle failed perf_get_aux_event() ... Vince reports a worrying issue: | so I was tracking down some odd behavior in the perf_fuzzer which turns | out to be because perf_even_open() sometimes returns 0 (indicating a file | descriptor of 0) even though as far as I can tell stdin is still open. ... and further the cause: | error is triggered if aux_sample_size has non-zero value. | | seems to be this line in kernel/events/core.c: | | if (perf_need_aux_event(event) && !perf_get_aux_event(event, group_leader)) | goto err_locked; | | (note, err is never set) This seems to be a thinko in commit: ab43762ef0 ("perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data") ... and we should probably return -EINVAL here, as this should only happen when the new event is mis-configured or does not have a compatible aux_event group leader.
