Kuan-Wei Chiu 246dfe3dc1 perf ftrace: Fix undefined behavior in cmp_profile_data()
The comparison function cmp_profile_data() violates the C standard's
requirements for qsort() comparison functions, which mandate symmetry
and transitivity:

* Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x.
* Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z.

When v1 and v2 are equal, the function incorrectly returns 1, breaking
symmetry and transitivity. This causes undefined behavior, which can
lead to memory corruption in certain versions of glibc [1].

Fix the issue by returning 0 when v1 and v2 are equal, ensuring
compliance with the C standard and preventing undefined behavior.

Fixes: 74ae366c37 ("perf ftrace profile: Add -s/--sort option")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
