Detailed Description for the fixed bug follows: perf script crashes with a segmentation fault on user space tool version 4.5.rc7.ge2857b when using the python database export API. It works properly in 4.4 and prior versions. the crash fist appeared in: cfc8874a4859 ("perf script: Process cpu/threads maps") How to reproduce the bug: Remove any temporary files left over from a previous crash (if you have already attemped to reproduce the bug): $ rm -r test_db-perf-data $ dropdb test_db $ perf record timeout 1 yes >/dev/null $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py test_db Stack Trace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. __GI___libc_free (mem=0x1) at malloc.c:2929 2929 malloc.c: No such file or directory.
