Subject: [PATCH 4/4] perf top: Show backtrace when handling a SIGSEGV on --stdio mode

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

It was just freezing instead of informing about the SEGV, fix it and
also print a backtrace, just like in the TUI mode and in 'perf trace'.

Tested by provoking a NULL deref when pressing 'z':

     0.31%  libc-2.20.so     [.] malloc_consolidate
     0.31%  ld-2.20.so       [.] _dl_relocate_object
     0.28%  cc1              [.] ht_lookup
     0.28%  cc1              [.] ira_init_register_move_cost
  perf: Segmentation fault
  Obtained 7 stack frames.
