From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung....@lge.com> The hist_entry__sort_snprintf() can return 0 if all of the sort keys are elided. In this case a buffer which used for the function would contain old message or a garbage and printed like below:
$ perf record -g -e cycles:u abc $ perf --report -s comm -c abc (...) + 100.00%100.00% Fix it by checking return value.
