[ Upstream commit 8bf8c6da53c2265aea365a1de6038f118f522113 ]
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) ... ... rblist=rblist@entry=0xb2a200 <rt_stat>, new_entry=new_entry@entry=0x7ffcb755c310) at util/rblist.c:33 ctx=<optimized out>, type=<optimized out>, create=<optimized out>, cpu=<optimized out>, evsel=<optimized out>) at util/stat-shadow.c:118 ctx=<optimized out>, type=<optimized out>, st=<optimized out>) at util/stat-shadow.c:196 count=count@entry=727442, cpu=cpu@entry=0, st=0xb2a200 <rt_stat>) at util/stat-shadow.c:239 config=config@entry=0xafeb40 <stat_config>, counter=counter@entry=0x133c6e0) at util/stat.c:372 ... ...
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 0.001970: cpu -1, thread -1 -> cpi 1.709079 (1075684/629394) #
No segfault.
