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

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.

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 Restructured Text 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.
