From: Adrian Hunter adrian.hunter@intel.com Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2021 10:48:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf inject: Fix segfault due to close without open
The fixed commit attempts to close inject.output even if it was never opened e.g.
$ perf record uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (7 samples) ] $ perf inject -i perf.data --vm-time-correlation=dry-run Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ gdb --quiet perf Reading symbols from perf... (gdb) r inject -i perf.data --vm-time-correlation=dry-run Starting program: /home/ahunter/bin/perf inject -i perf.data --vm-time-correlation=dry-run [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
