[PATCHES v2 0/4] perf tools: Fix OOB reads, NULL deref, and resource leaks

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

Hi,

Four pre-existing bugs found by sashiko-bot during AI-assisted review
of the perf-data-validation hardening series.  All are independent of
that series -- they are latent bugs in surrounding code exposed during
review.

  1. test_bit(sample->cpu, cpu_bitmap) reads out of bounds when
     PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is absent (sample->cpu == (u32)-1) in annotate,
     diff, report, and sched timehist.

  2. Thread reference leak in perf sched latency_switch_event() -- one
     error path does 'return -1' instead of 'goto out_put'.

  3. NULL pointer dereference in perf sched latency_runtime_event() --
     thread_atoms_search() called before the NULL check on the thread
     returned by machine__findnew_thread().

  4. Heap buffer overflow in perf sched map --compact mode --
     comp_cpus allocated based on host CPU count but indexed using a
     MAX_CPUS-sized bitmap, overflowing when analyzing recordings from
     machines with more CPUs than the host.  Also fixes the sizeof
     mismatch from the int-to-struct perf_cpu type change, removes the
     now-dead sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) initialization, and fixes
     an off-by-one in the non-compact path where max_cpu (0-based
     index) was used as cpus_nr (count) without adding 1.

All four require crafted or unusual perf.data inputs to trigger.
Verified with gcc and clang builds, checkpatch, and perf test.

Changes in v2:
  - Patch 4: fix off-by-one in non-compact path — max_cpu.cpu is a
    0-based index, needs + 1 when used as cpus_nr (count).
    Reported by sashiko-bot.
