perf session: Fix perf_session__peek_event()
perf_session__peek_event() generally leverages there being a single mmap of the perf.data file, however on 32-bit platforms when there is more that 32MiB of data, then there are multiple mmaps, so perf_session__peek_event() reads from the file. In that case a couple of bugs were exposed (note how the seg. fault appears with >32M of data): $ perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts// ../rtit-tests/loopy 1000000 [ perf record: Woken up 13 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 24.568 MB perf.data ] $ perf script > /dev/null $ perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts// ../rtit-tests/loopy 10000000 [ perf record: Woken up 136 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 270.794 MB perf.data ] $ perf script > /dev/null Segmentation fault (core dumped) The wrong address was being passed to the readn() function and the buffer size was not being checked.
