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.
