perf data files cannot be processed until the header file is update
which is done via an on_exit handler. If perf is killed due to a SIGTERM
it does not run the on_exit hooks leaving the perf.data file in a
random state which perf-report will happily spin on trying to read. As
noted by Mike an easy reproducer is:
perf record -a -g & sleep 1; killall perf
Fix by catching SIGTERM like it does SIGINT. Also need to remove the
kill which was added via commit f7b7c26e.

hi,
got a perf test hanging on me on latest acme's perf/core and bisected
it to this one. I separated reproducer so far but probably wont get to
it this week:
Ok, I should have some time to look into it this weekend.

Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid:
-1 - Not paranoid at all
0 - Disallow raw tracepoint access for unpriv
1 - Disallow cpu events for unpriv
2 - Disallow kernel profiling for unpriv
