perf script: Skip aggregation for stat events
The script command does not support aggregation modes by itself although that can be achieved using post-processing scripts. Because of this, it does not allocate memory for aggregated event values. Upon running perf stat record, the aggregation mode is set in the perf data file. If the mode is AGGR_GLOBAL, the aggregated event values are accessed and this leads to a segmentation fault since these were never allocated to begin with. Set the mode to AGGR_NONE explicitly to avoid this. E.g. $ perf stat record -e cycles true $ perf script Before: Segmentation fault (core dumped) After: CPU THREAD VAL ENA RUN TIME EVENT -1 231919 162831 362069 362069 935289 cycles:u Fixes: 8b76a318 ("perf stat: Remove unused perf_counts.aggr field") Signed-off-by: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@amd.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ananth Narayan <ananth.narayan@amd.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Nick Terrell <terrelln@fb.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@amd.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.2+ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/83d6c6c05c54bf00c5a9df32ac160718efca0c7a.1683280603.git.sandipan.das@amd.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
