Hi,

I am seeing this perf crash on my arm64-based system:

root@localhost:~# ./perf_debug_ record -e armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/ sleep 1
perf: Segmentation fault
Obtained 9 stack frames.
./perf_debug_() [0x4c5ef8]
[0xffff82ba267c]
./perf_debug_() [0x4bc5a8]
./perf_debug_() [0x419550]
./perf_debug_() [0x41a928]
./perf_debug_() [0x472f58]

/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0) [0xffff8294c8a0]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I find 'cycles' event is fine.

I bisected the issue to here:
commit bfd8f72c2778f5bd63dc9eb6d23bd7a0d99cff6d (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)

     perf record: Synthesize unit/scale/... in event update

     Move the code to synthesize event updates for scale/unit/cpus to a
     common utility file, and use it both from stat and record.

     This allows to access scale and other extra qualifiers from perf 
script.

I am suspicious that this is a real issue, as this patch has been in 
mainline for some time...

This simple change fixes the issue me:

      ev = cpu_map_data__alloc(evsel->own_cpus, &size, &type, &max);

It turns out that evsel->id is NULL on a call to 
perf_event__process_feature(), which upsets this code:

     ev->header.type = PERF_RECORD_EVENT_UPDATE;
     ev->header.size = (u16)size;
     ev->type = PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__CPUS;
     ev->id   = evsel->id[0];

Please me let me know if a valid issue so we can get a fix in.

Apologies for crying wolf if I'm off the mark.

Cheers,
John

If it crashes it must be a valid issue of course.

But I'm not sure about your bisect. Hard to see how my patch
could cause this. Sometimes bisects go wrong. 
You verified by just reverting the patch?

First thing I would also try is to run with valgrind or ASan and see if it
reports anything.

yea, I can see how we can get here with event having
its own CPUs, and we allocate the id array later at
the time we map the event

I wonder instead of skipping on this feature, we should
allocate the id array, like below

I did not test that.. need to find the server having event
with its own cpus.. also need to make sure evsel->cpus is
the way to go in here

thanks,
jirka

It no longer reverts cleanly. And the previous patch - 4ca69ca9db3a - 
did not have this crash:
root@localhost:~# ./perf_debug_ record -e armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/ sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]

Thanks for the fix, but I got this:
root@localhost:~# ./perf_debug_ record -e armv8_pmuv3_0/br_mis_pred/ sleep 1
Couldn't synthesize evsel cpus.

and then this function is not called as we return immediately. So did
