perf kvm stat live: Enable events copying
Process of analyzing events caused by 2 functions: mmap_read() and finished_round(). During mmap_read(), perf receives events from shared memory, queues their pointers for further processing in finished_round() and notifies the kernel that the events have been processed. By the time when finished_round() is invoked, queued events can be overwritten by the kernel, so the finished_round() occurs on potentially corrupted memory. Since there is no place where the event can be safely consumed, let's copy events when queueing.
