[PATCH 9/9] perf tools: Fix trigger class trigger_on()

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Mar 06 2018 - 12:24:40 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

trigger_on() means that the trigger is available but not ready, however
trigger_on() was making it ready. That can segfault if the signal comes
before trigger_ready(). e.g. (USR2 signal delivery not shown)

$ perf record -e intel_pt//u -S sleep 1
perf: Segmentation fault

Note, for testing purposes, this is hard to hit unless you add some sleep()
in builtin-record.c before record__open().
