Perf trace on perf.data fails as below:
./perf trace record -- sleep 1
./perf trace -i perf.data
perf: Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Backtrace pointed to :
?? ()
perf_session.process_user_event ()
reader.read_event ()
perf_session.process_events ()
cmd_trace ()
run_builtin ()
handle_internal_command ()
main ()
Further debug pointed that, segmentation fault happens when
trying to access id_index. Code snippet:
case PERF_RECORD_ID_INDEX:
err = tool->id_index(session, event);
Since 'commit 15d4a6f41d72 ("perf tool: Remove
perf_tool__fill_defaults()")', perf_tool__fill_defaults is
removed. All tools are initialized using perf_tool__init()
prior to use. But in builtin-trace, perf_tool__init is not
used and hence the defaults are not initialized. Use
perf_tool__init() in perf trace to handle the initialization.
