perf trace: Do not lose last events in a race
[ Upstream commit 3fd7c369 ] If a perf trace event selector specifies a maximum number of events to output (i.e., "/nr=N/" syntax), the event printing handler, trace__event_handler, disables the event selector after the maximum number events are printed. Furthermore, trace__event_handler checked if the event selector was disabled before doing any work. This avoided exceeding the maximum number of events to print if more events were in the buffer before the selector was disabled. However, the event selector can be disabled for reasons other than exceeding the maximum number of events. In particular, when the traced subprocess exits, the main loop disables all event selectors. This meant the last events of a traced subprocess might be lost to the printing handler's short-circuiting logic. This nondeterministic problem could be seen by running the following many times: $ perf trace -e syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group true trace__event_handler should simply check for exceeding the maximum number of events to print rather than the state of the event selector.
