Boring notabug report, but..
(Dr. Dr., perf acts all dainbramaged when you shoot it in the head)
reproducer: perf record -a -g& sleep 1;whatever;killall perf
Discovered because AIM7 needs input, and does not run properly when profiled via the more conventional perf record -a -g -- ./multitask -nl -f. Ergo, start perf record, run AIM7, kill perf. Say SIGINT instead, and it works as expected. SIGTERM leaves perf.data in a bad state that report can't deal with, but it'll happily keep trying forever.
Only mentioned because some other user might try to workaround input nogo thingy and meet the same.
