I hit segmentation fault while executing systemtap tests on x86_64.
section name(secname) was not verified for the NULL before dereferencing
it in dump_unwindsyms() and hence the problem. Iam attaching the patch
to avoid this problem.
The patch is fine, but I wonder how come you hit this situation. (It
hasn't hit any of my testing on fedora, rhel, ubuntu...)
Sorry Frank,
Few months back, I modified few functions in elfutils-0.128 like
dwfl_module_relocation_info() for debugging purpose but I forgot to
remove it. Today I executed systemtap testsuites by using same elfutils
package and hence I saw that error.
I will make sure from next time that I dont make such mistakes while
executing tests.
Thanks
