perf stat: Fix segfault for event group in repeat mode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo reported segfault on stat of event group in repeat
mode:

  # perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' -r 10 ls

It's caused by memory corruption due to not cleaned evsel's id array and
index, which needs to be rebuilt in every stat iteration. Currently the
ids index grows, while the array (which is also not freed) has the same
size.

Fixing this by releasing id array and zeroing ids index in
perf_evsel__close function.

We also need to keep the evsel_list alive for stat record (which is
disabled in repeat mode).
