Subject[PATCH v3] perf record: Fix segfault 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 1K -a -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
perf: Segmentation fault
Obtained 12 stack frames.

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 add a member variable "thread_bytes_written" in the struct "record"
to save the data size written by the threads.

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

Changes since v2:
- Save data size written by threads to calculate the correct total data size.
- Update commit message.

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.
