Hello, This is a fix of 'perf kvm stat live' crash when it tries to parse events that have been already overwritten by the kernel.
Patches - 1/2 adds an option to copy events when they are pushed to the samples queue. The patch is based on the patch by David Ahern (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/6/388) - 2/2 enables the copying for perf kvm stat live. Changes in v2: - the option to copy events is now a part of ordered_events - use memdup() instead malloc()/memcpy() - events alocations are under the report.queue-size limit Previous thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/353 Thanks!
