perf top: Fix events overflow in top command
The snprintf function returns number of printed characters even if it cross the size parameter. So passing enough events via '-e' parameter will cause segmentation fault. It's reproduced by following command: perf top -e `perf list | grep Tracepoint | awk -F'[' '\ {gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];\ for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'` Attached patch is adding SNPRINTF macro that provides the overflow check and returns actuall number of printed characters.
