Title:
perf core dump at tool/perf/util/namespaces.c:144
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Running the following perf collect inside a running docker could
potentially crash:
$ perf record -F 100 -ag -o /tmp/perf-100Hz-10s -- sleep 10
The dump is caused by SIGSEGV for de-referencing nullptr in
nsinfo__copy() in at namespaces.c:144
$ lldb -c /tmp/cores/perf.core.07092019
(lldb) target create --core "/tmp/cores/perf.core.07092019"

The fix for this has already been merged to Linux 4.19-rc, since
8/10/2018, see the original lkml post

I verified locally that this fix works by manually applying to 4.15
and rebuild perf executable after that.
To port the fix to 4.15, or other versions earlier than 4.19-rc, we could run:
$ git cherry-pick 3f4417d693b43
