- Fix crash from bad histogram entry
An error path in the histogram creation could leave an entry
in a link list that gets freed. Then when a new entry is added
it can cause a u-a-f bug. This is fixed by restructuring the code
so that the histogram is consistent on failure and everything is
cleaned up appropriately.
- Fix fprobe self test
The fprobe self test relies on no function being attached by ftrace.
BPF programs can attach to functions via ftrace and systemd now
does so. This causes those functions to appear in the enabled_functions
list which holds all functions attached by ftrace. The selftest also
uses that file to see if functions are being connected correctly.
It counts the functions in the file, but if there's already functions
in the file, it fails. Instead, add the number of functions in the file
at the start of the test to all the calculations during the test.
- Fix potential division by zero of the function profiler stddev
The calculated divisor that calculates the standard deviation of
the function times can overflow. If the overflow happens to land
on zero, that can cause a division by zero. Check for zero from
the calculation before doing the division.
TODO: Catch when it ever overflows and report it accordingly.
For now, just prevent the system from crashing.
