[PATCH] perf: fix buffer overflow error caused by specifying all tracepoints with -e option

[Han Pingtian]

Hi,


I found specifying all tracepoints within one "-e" option to perf top,
separating each other with commas, will trigger a buffer overflow.

The command line is:

./perf to  -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`

The error messages are:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated
