perf zstd: Fix compression error path in zstd_compress_stream_to_records()
The error fallback does memcpy(dst, src, src_size) intending to store
uncompressed data when compression fails, but this has three bugs:
1. dst has been advanced past the record header (and potentially
past earlier compressed records), so the copy writes to the
wrong offset in the output buffer.
2. src still points to the start of the input, not to the
remaining uncompressed data at src + input.pos. On a second
or later iteration, previously compressed data would be
duplicated.
3. No check that dst_size >= src_size — if the remaining output
space is smaller, this is an out-of-bounds write.
Replace with return -1 after resetting the ZSTD compression
context via ZSTD_initCStream(). The -1 propagates through
zstd_compress() -> record__pushfn() -> perf_mmap__push() to the
recording loop, which breaks out and terminates recording.
Add an out_child_no_flush label in __cmd_record() so the
mmap-read failure path skips the final record__mmap_read_all()
flush — retrying the same read that just failed would just fail
again, and the flush is only useful when the mmap data is intact
but the control path (auxtrace, switch_output) had an error.
Consolidate all error paths through a single 'reset' label to
ensure the compression context is always reset on failure —
including the output-buffer-full path, where a bare return
without resetting would leave stale stream state that corrupts
output if the caller retries.
Also guard against process_header() writing the event header
before the buffer-full check: add a sizeof(perf_event_header)
pre-check so the callback never writes past the output buffer.
Guard against ZSTD making no progress: if output.pos is zero
after ZSTD_compressStream(), calling process_header(record, 0)
would re-trigger header initialization, double-subtracting the
header size from dst_size and underflowing the unsigned counter.
Also fix two pre-existing issues in the same function:
- Add a dst_size guard before subtracting the record header
size: if the output buffer is nearly full, the unsigned
dst_size -= size underflows to a huge value, causing
ZSTD_compressStream to write past the buffer boundary.
- Check the ZSTD_initCStream() return value and log an error
if the context reset itself fails.
