Subject: [PATCH v2] perf record: Fix coredump with --overwrite and --max-size
Date:   Thu, 29 Dec 2022 12:47:28 +0000

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.
