From: Ian Rogers <irog...@google.com> An optimized build such as:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O3 will turn the dereference operation into a ud2 instruction, raising a SIGILL rather than a SIGSEGV. Use raise(..) for correctness and clarity. Similar issues were addressed in Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo's patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/8/1234 Committer testing: Before: [root@quaco ~]# perf test hooks 55: perf hooks : Ok [root@quaco ~]# perf test -v hooks 55: perf hooks : --- start --- test child forked, pid 17092 SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.
