Running the check-perf-trace scripts causes segfaults in both the Perl and Python cases:
# perf script record check-perf-trace # perf script -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/check-perf-trace.py trace_begin Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The reason is that the 'pevent' field was added to perf_scripting_context but it wasn't hooked up with an actual pevent in either case, so when one of the 'common' fields is accessed (in util/trace-event-parse.c:get_common_fields()), pevent->events tries to dereference a NULL pointer.
This sets the pevent field when the scripting context is set up.
