| |
A large enough symbol size causes an overflow in the size parameter to the histogram allocation, leading to a segfault in symbol__inc_addr_samples later on when this histogram is accessed.
In the case of being called via perf-report, this returns back and gracefully ignores the sample, eventually ignoring the chained return value of perf_session_deliver_event in flush_sample_queue.
