Subject[PATCH 1/2] perf script: Skip aggregation for stat events
Date
The script command does not support aggregation modes by itself although
that can be achieved using post-processing scripts. Because of this, it
does not allocate memory for aggregated event values.

Upon running perf stat record, the aggregation mode is set in the perf
data file. If the mode is AGGR_GLOBAL, the aggregated event values are
accessed and this leads to a segmentation fault since these were never
allocated to begin with. Set the mode to AGGR_NONE explicitly to avoid
this.

E.g.

$ perf stat record -e cycles true
$ perf script

Before:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After:
CPU THREAD VAL ENA RUN TIME EVENT
-1 231919 162831 362069 362069 935289 cycles:u
