With latest version of perf-core branch, a variant of perf record hangs:

# /tmp/build-perf/perf record -v -e cs -fo /tmp/perf.data  -- sleep 1
couldn't open /proc/-1/status
couldn't open /proc/-1/maps
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.003 MB /tmp/perf.data (~120 samples) ]

It sits there forever. Back trace is:

git bisect traced the hang to

    perf session: Use sensible mmap size

    On 64bit we can map the whole file in one go, on 32bit we can at
least map
    32MB and not map/unmap tiny chunks of the file.

    Base the progress bar on 1/16 of the data size.

    Preparatory patch to get rid of the malloc/memcpy/free of trace data.


If I revert the changes (attached porting of it) perf-record does not hang.

David
