mainlining shenanigans
e3e2cf3d5b
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:

SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
