perf top: Show backtrace when handling a SIGSEGV on --stdio mode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It was just freezing instead of informing about the SEGV, fix it and
also print a backtrace, just like in the TUI mode and in 'perf trace'.

Tested by provoking a NULL deref when pressing 'z':
