From cfbd70c17c4535e64be92ea442a2a45078a18184 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:31:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Ensure comm string is properly terminated If threads in a multi-threaded process have names shorter than the main thread the comm for the named threads is not properly terminated. E.g., for the process 'namedthreads' where each thread is named noploop%d where %d is the thread number: Before: perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso noploop:4ads 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads) The 'ads' in the thread comm bleeds over from the process name. After: perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso noploop:4 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads) Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1330111898-68071-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/event.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/event.c b/tools/perf/util/event.c index 2044324b755a..2a6f33cd888c 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/event.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/event.c @@ -74,6 +74,7 @@ static pid_t perf_event__get_comm_tgid(pid_t pid, char *comm, size_t len) if (size >= len) size = len - 1; memcpy(comm, name, size); + comm[size] = '\0'; } else if (memcmp(bf, "Tgid:", 5) == 0) { char *tgids = bf + 5; -- 2.39.5
