perf inject: Copy events when reordering events in pipe mode
__perf_session__process_pipe_events reuses the same memory buffer to
process all events in the pipe.
When reordering is needed (e.g. -b option), events are not immediately
flushed, but kept around until reordering is possible, causing
memory corruption.
The problem is usually observed by a "Unknown sample error" output. It
can easily be reproduced by:
perf record -o - noploop | perf inject -b > output
Committer testing:
Before:
$ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null
stress: info: [8297] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
stress: info: [8297] successful run completed in 2s
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
Warning:
Found 1 unknown events!
Is this an older tool processing a perf.data file generated by a more recent tool?
If that is not the case, consider reporting to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.

After:
$ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null
stress: info: [9027] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
stress: info: [9027] successful run completed in 2s
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
no symbols found in /usr/bin/stress, maybe install a debug package?
