I tested with gcc 8 and it built on a opensuse leap system. Of course you never know where you end up with the gcc -Werror russian roulette. I don't think any of those can really overflow, it's all false positives. This one is particularly annoying because the compiler seems to assume that every char[] variable is filled up to the maximum, which is flat out wrong. Anyways this patch should help. -Andi diff --git a/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c b/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c index e35b274ee863..8ca988506388 100644 --- a/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c +++ b/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c @@ -2554,7 +2554,7 @@ do_run_script(struct hist_browser *browser __maybe_unused, } if (act->time) { - char start[64], end[64]; + char start[22], end[22]; unsigned long starttime = act->time; unsigned long endtime = act->time + symbol_conf.time_quantum;
