perf record: Fix crash in pipe mode
Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like: $ perf record ls | perf report # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # perf: Segmentation fault Error: The - file has no samples! The callstack of the crash is: 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name 3513 ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]); (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name anholt#1 0x00000000005158a4 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr anholt#2 0x0000000000443347 in record__synthesize anholt#3 0x00000000004438e3 in __cmd_record anholt#4 0x000000000044514e in cmd_record anholt#5 0x00000000004cbc95 in run_builtin anholt#6 0x00000000004cbf02 in handle_internal_command anholt#7 0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv anholt#8 0x00000000004cc422 in main The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it. We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for single event as a key for evsel update event. Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when we are in pipe mode.
