[ Upstream commit e3e2cf3d5b1fe800b032e14c0fdcd9a6fb20cf3b ] An optimized build such as: make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O3 will turn the dereference operation into a ud2 instruction, raising a SIGILL rather than a SIGSEGV. Use raise(..) for correctness and clarity. Similar issues were addressed in Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo's patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/8/1234 Committer testing: Before: [root@quaco ~]# perf test hooks 55: perf hooks : Ok [root@quaco ~]# perf test -v hooks 55: perf hooks : --- start --- test child forked, pid 17092 SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
