Subject[PATCH v2] perf record: Fix coredump with --overwrite and --max-size
Date
When --overwrite and --max-size options of perf record are used together,
a segmentation fault occurs. The following is an example:

# perf record -e sched:sched* --overwrite --max-size 1M -a -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
perf: Segmentation fault
Obtained 1 stack frames.
[0xc4c67f]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

backtrace of the core file is as follows:

The reason is that record__bytes_written accesses the freed memory rec->thread_data,
The process is as follows:
__cmd_record
-> record__free_thread_data
-> zfree(&rec->thread_data) // free rec->thread_data
-> record__synthesize
-> perf_event__synthesize_id_index
-> process_synthesized_event
-> record__write
-> record__bytes_written // access rec->thread_data

we only need to check the value of done first.
Also add variable check in record__bytes_written for code hardening,
and save bytes_written separately to reduce one calculation.

Fixes: 6d57581659f7 ("perf record: Add support for limit perf output file size")

Changes since v1:
- Add variable check in record__bytes_written for code hardening.
- Save bytes_written separately to reduce one calculation.
- Remove rec->opts.tail_synthesize check.
