While updating perf to work with Python3 and Python2 I noticed that the
stat-cpi script was dumping core.

$ perf  stat -e cycles,instructions record -o /tmp/perf.data /bin/false

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/false':

           802,148      cycles

           604,622      instructions                                                       802,148      cycles
           604,622      instructions

       0.001445842 seconds time elapsed

$ perf script -i /tmp/perf.data -s scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The issue is that since 1fcd03946b52 perf_stat__update_shadow_stats now calls
update_runtime_stat passing rt_stat rather than calling update_stats but
perf_stat__init_shadow_stats has never been called to initialize rt_stat in
the script path processing recorded stat data.

Since I can't see any reason why perf_stat__init_shadow_stats() is presently
initialized like it is in builtin-script.c::perf_sample__fprint_metric()
[4bd1bef8bba2f] I'm proposing it instead be initialized once in __cmd_script

Committer testing:

After applying the patch:

  # perf script -i /tmp/perf.data -s tools/perf/scripts/python/stat-cpi.py

No segfault.

The annotation line percentage is compared and inserted into the rbtree,
but the percent field of 'struct annotation_data' is an array, the
comparison result between them is the address difference.

This patch compares the right slot of percent array according to
opts-&gt;percent_type and makes things right.

The problem can be reproduced by pressing 'H' in perf top annotation view.
It should highlight the instruction line which has the highest sampling
percentage.

This patch fixes an issue in cpumap.c when used with the TOPOLOGY
header. In some configurations, some NUMA nodes may have no CPU (empty
cpulist). Yet a cpumap map must be created otherwise perf abort with an
error. This patch handles this case by creating a dummy map.

  Before:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  0x6e8 [0x6c]: failed to process type: 80

  After:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  noploop for 2 seconds

<content type='text'>
'perf script' crashes currently when printing mixed trace points and
other events because the trace format does not handle events without
trace meta data. Add a simple check to avoid that.

  % cat &gt; test.c
  main()
  {
      printf("Hello world\n");
  }
  ^D
  % gcc -g -o test test.c
  % sudo perf probe -x test 'test.c:3'
  % perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_test:main}:S' ./test
  % perf script
  &lt;segfault&gt;

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.28.so malloc
  Added new event:
    probe_libc:malloc    (on malloc in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
  probe_libc:malloc    (on __libc_malloc@malloc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
  # perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_libc:*}:S' sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (40 samples) ]
  # perf script

'perf script' crashes currently when printing mixed trace points and
other events because the trace format does not handle events without
trace meta data. Add a simple check to avoid that.

  % cat &gt; test.c
  main()
  {
      printf("Hello world\n");
  }
  ^D
  % gcc -g -o test test.c
  % sudo perf probe -x test 'test.c:3'
  % perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_test:main}:S' ./test
  % perf script
  &lt;segfault&gt;

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.28.so malloc
  Added new event:
    probe_libc:malloc    (on malloc in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
  probe_libc:malloc    (on __libc_malloc@malloc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
  # perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_libc:*}:S' sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (40 samples) ]
  # perf script
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  ^C
  #

After:

  # perf script | head -6
     sleep 2888 94796.944981: 16198 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffffff925dc04f get_random_u32+0x1f (/lib/modules/5.0.0-rc2+/build/vmlinux)

<title>perf ordered_events: Fix crash in ordered_events__free</title>

Song Liu reported crash in 'perf record':

  &gt; #0  0x0000000000500055 in ordered_events(float, long double,...)(...) ()
  &gt; #1  0x0000000000500196 in ordered_events.reinit ()
  &gt; #2  0x00000000004fe413 in perf_session.process_events ()
  &gt; #3  0x0000000000440431 in cmd_record ()
  &gt; #4  0x00000000004a439f in run_builtin ()
  &gt; #5  0x000000000042b3e5 in main ()"

This can happen when we get out of buffers during event processing.

The subsequent ordered_events__free() call assumes oe-&gt;buffer != NULL
and crashes. Add a check to prevent that.

We use syscall.tbl to generate system call table on powerpc.

The unistd.h copy is no longer required now. Remove it.
