In commitdaeecbc0c4("perf tools: Add event_update event scale type"), the handling of PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE cast struct event_update_event->data to a pointer to event_update_event_scale, uses some field from this casted struct and then ends up falling through to the handling of another event type, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS were it casts that ev->data to yet another type, oops, fix it by inserting the missing break. Noticed when building perf using gcc 7 on Fedora Rawhide: util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__process_event_update': util/header.c:3207:16: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=] evsel->scale = ev_scale->scale; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/header.c:3208:2: note: here case PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS: ^~~~ This wasn't noticed because probably PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS comes after PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE, so we would just create a bogus evsel->own_cpus when processing a PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__SCALE to then leak it and create a new cpu map with the correct data.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
