perf trace: Fix race condition at the end of started workloads
I get following crash on multiple systems and across several releases (at least since v3.18). Core was generated by `/tmp/perf trace sleep 0.2 '. Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 perf_mmap__read_head (mm=0x3fff9bf30070) at util/evlist.h:195 195 u64 head = ACCESS_ONCE(pc->data_head); (gdb) bt #0 perf_mmap__read_head (mm=0x3fff9bf30070) at util/evlist.h:195 #1 perf_evlist__mmap_read (evlist=0x10027f11910, idx=<optimized out>) at util/evlist.c:637 #2 0x000000001003ce4c in trace__run (argv=<optimized out>, argc=<optimized out>, trace=0x3fffd7b28288) at builtin-trace.c:2259 #3 cmd_trace (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, prefix=<optimized out>) at builtin-trace.c:2799 #4 0x00000000100657b8 in run_builtin (p=0x10176798 <commands+480>, argc=3, argv=0x3fffd7b2b550) at perf.c:370 #5 0x00000000100063e8 in handle_internal_command (argv=0x3fffd7b2b550, argc=3) at perf.c:429 #6 run_argv (argv=0x3fffd7b2af70, argcp=0x3fffd7b2af7c) at perf.c:473 #7 main (argc=3, argv=0x3fffd7b2b550) at perf.c:588 The problem seems to be a race condition, when the application has just exited. Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()). But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash. If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map. Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing the map.
