Subject: [PATCH 27/31] perf stat: Fix a segmentation fault when using repeat forever
From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Observe a segmentation fault when 'perf stat' is asked to repeat forever
with the interval option.
Without fix:
# perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
# time counts unit events
5.000211692 3,13,89,82,34,157 cycles
10.000380119 1,53,98,52,22,294 cycles
10.040467280 17,16,79,265 cycles
Segmentation fault
This problem was only observed when we use forever option aka -r 0 and
works with limited repeats. Calling print_counter with ts being set to
NULL, is not a correct option when interval is set. Hence avoid
print_counter(NULL,..) if interval is set.
With fix:
# perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
# time counts unit events
5.019866622 3,15,14,43,08,697 cycles
10.039865756 3,15,16,31,95,261 cycles
10.059950628 1,26,05,47,158 cycles
5.009902655 3,14,52,62,33,932 cycles
10.019880228 3,14,52,22,89,154 cycles
10.030543876 66,90,18,333 cycles
5.009848281 3,14,51,98,25,437 cycles

Committer notes:
Did the 'git bisect' to find the cset introducing the problem to add the
Fixes tag below, and at that time the problem reproduced as:
(gdb) run stat -r0 -I500 sleep 1
<SNIP>
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Mostly the same as just before this patch:
