Adam reported a record command crash for simple session like: $ perf record -e cpu-clock ls with following backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 3543 ev = event_update_event__new(size + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__UNIT, evsel->id[0]); (gdb) bt #0 perf_event__synthesize_event_update_unit #1 0x000000000051e469 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr #2 0x00000000004445cb in record__synthesize #3 0x0000000000444bc5 in __cmd_record ... We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array, which is not defined at that time. Fix this by forcing the id allocation for events with their unit defined. Reflecting possible read_format ID bit in the attr tests.

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.
