Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] Perf stat --null/offline CPU segv related fixes/tests
Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2025 13:46:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203214706.112174-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
Ingo reported [1] that `perf stat --null` was segfaulting. Fix the
underlying issue and add a test to the "perf stat tests". Do some
related fixing/cleanup in the perf util cpumap code.
Thomas reported an issue fixed by the same patches [2] but caused by
giving perf stat an offline CPU. Add test coverage for that and
improve the "error" message that reports "success".
Ingo further pointed at broken signal handling in repeat mode [3]. I
observed we weren't giving the best exit code, 0 rather than the
expected 128+<signal number>. Add a patch fixing this.
