At exit, perf record will kill the process it was profiling by sending a
SIGTERM to child_pid (if it had been initialised), but in certain situations
child_pid may be 0 and perf would mistakenly kill more processes than intended.
child_pid is set to the return of fork() to either 0 or the pid of the child.
Ordinarily this would not present an issue as the child calls execvp to spawn
the process to be profiled and would therefore never run it's sig_atexit and
never attempt to kill pid 0.
However, if a nonexistant binary had been passed in to perf record the call to
execvp would fail and child_pid would be left set to 0. The child would then
exit and it's atexit handler, finding that child_pid was initialised to 0,
would call kill(0, SIGTERM), resulting in every process within it's process
group being killed.
In the case that perf was being run directly from the shell this typically
would not be an issue as the shell isolates the process. However, if perf was
being called from another program it could kill unexpected processes, which may
even include X.
This patch changes the logic of the test for whether child_pid was initialised
to only consider positive pids as valid, thereby never attempting to kill pid
0.

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that
are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them.
This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the
TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop.
The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this
is the minimalistic patch.
