After collecting samples for events 'syscalls:',
perf-script with python script doesn't occasionally
work generating a segmentation fault.
The reason is that the print fmt is empty and
a value of event->print_fmt.args is NULL, so
dereferencing the null pointer results in
a segmentation fault i.e.
# perf record -e syscalls:*
# perf script -g python
# perf script -s perf-script.py
in trace_begin
syscalls__sys_enter_brk 3 79841.832099154 3777 test.sh syscall_nr=12, brk=0
... (omitted) ...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
For example, a format of sys_enter_getuid() hasn't
print fmt as below.
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_getuid/format
name: sys_enter_getuid
ID: 188
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:int syscall_nr; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: ""
So add exception handling to avoid this problem.

perf script: Exception handling when the print fmt is empty
After collecting samples for events 'syscalls:', perf-script with python
script doesn't occasionally work generating a segmentation fault.
The reason is that the print fmt is empty and a value of
event->print_fmt.args is NULL, so dereferencing the null pointer results
in a segmentation fault i.e.:
# perf record -e syscalls:*
# perf script -g python
# perf script -s perf-script.py
in trace_begin
syscalls__sys_enter_brk 3 79841.832099154 3777 test.sh syscall_nr=12, brk=0
... (omitted) ...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
For example, a format of sys_enter_getuid() hasn't
print fmt as below.
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_getuid/format
name: sys_enter_getuid
ID: 188
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:int syscall_nr; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
