perf jit: memset() variable 'st' using the correct size
The current code is memsetting the 'struct stat' variable 'st' with the size of 'stat' (which turns out to be 1 byte) rather than the size of variable 'sz'. Committer notes: sizeof(function) isn't valid, the result depends on the compiler used, with gcc, enabling pedantic warnings we get: $ cat sizeof_function.c #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("sizeof(stat)=%zd, stat=%p\n", sizeof(stat), stat); return 0; } $ readelf -sW sizeof_function | grep -w stat 49: 0000000000400630 16 FUNC WEAK HIDDEN 13 stat $ cc -pedantic sizeof_function.c -o sizeof_function sizeof_function.c: In function ‘main’: sizeof_function.c:8:46: warning: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to a function type [-Wpointer-arith] printf("sizeof(stat)=%zd, stat=%p\n", sizeof(stat), stat); ^ $ ./sizeof_function sizeof(stat)=1, stat=0x400630 $ Standard C, section 6.5.3.4: "The sizeof operator shall not be applied to an expression that has function type or an incomplete type, to the parenthesized name of such a type, or to an expression that designates a bit-field member." http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Fixes: 9b07e27f88b9 ("perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461020838-9260-1-git-send-email-colin.king@canonical.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
