Well, it shoudldn't, as we do, before calling that function:

        list_for_each_entry(pos, &evsel_list, node) {
                if (perf_evsel__alloc_stat_priv(pos) < 0 ||
                    perf_evsel__alloc_counts(pos, cpus->nr) < 0 ||
                    perf_evsel__alloc_fd(pos, cpus->nr, threads->nr) < 0)
                        goto out_free_fd;
        }

And then at line 206 it does:

	update_stats(&ps->res_stats[i], count[i]);

ps was set to be:

	struct perf_stat *ps = counter->priv;

that was set by perf_evsel__alloc_stat_priv

and count is

u64 *count = counter->counts->aggr.values;

That was allocated by perf_evsel__alloc_counts

/me scratches head :-\
