From: Adrian Hunter adrian.hunter@intel.com
commit de19e5c3c51fdb1ff20d0f61d099db902ff7494b upstream.
trigger_on() means that the trigger is available but not ready, however trigger_on() was making it ready. That can segfault if the signal comes before trigger_ready(). e.g. (USR2 signal delivery not shown)
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u -S sleep 1 perf: Segmentation fault Obtained 16 stack frames. /home/ahunter/bin/perf(sighandler_dump_stack+0x40) [0x4ec550] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x36caf) [0x7fa76411acaf] /home/ahunter/bin/perf(perf_evsel__disable+0x26) [0x4b9dd6] /home/ahunter/bin/perf() [0x43a45b] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x36caf) [0x7fa76411acaf] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__xstat64+0x15) [0x7fa7641d2cc5] /home/ahunter/bin/perf() [0x4ec6c9] /home/ahunter/bin/perf() [0x4ec73b] /home/ahunter/bin/perf() [0x4ec73b] /home/ahunter/bin/perf() [0x4ec73b] /home/ahunter/bin/perf() [0x4eca15] /home/ahunter/bin/perf(machine__create_kernel_maps+0x257) [0x4f0b77] /home/ahunter/bin/perf(perf_session__new+0xc0) [0x4f86f0] /home/ahunter/bin/perf(cmd_record+0x722) [0x43c132] /home/ahunter/bin/perf() [0x4a11ae] /home/ahunter/bin/perf(main+0x5d4) [0x427fb4]
Note, for testing purposes, this is hard to hit unless you add some sleep() in builtin-record.c before record__open().
