Threads are created when we either synthesize PERF_RECORD_FORK events for pre-existing threads or when we receive PERF_RECORD_FORK events from the kernel as new threads get created. We then keep them in machine->threads[].entries rb trees till when we receive a PERF_RECORD_EXIT, i.e. that thread terminated. The thread object has a reference count that is grabbed when, for instance, we keep that thread referenced in struct hist_entry, in 'perf report' and 'perf top'. When we receive a PERF_RECORD_EXIT we remove the thread object from the rb tree and move it to the corresponding machine->threads[].dead list, then we do a thread__put(), dropping the reference we had for keeping it in the rb tree. In thread__put() we were assuming that when the reference count hit zero we should remove it from the dead list by simply doing a list_del_init(&thread->node). That works well when all the thread lifetime is during the machine that has the list heads lifetime, since we know that we can do the list_del_init() and it will update the 'dead' list_head. But in 'perf sched lat' we were doing: machine__new() (via perf_session__new) process events, grabbing refcounts to keep those thread objects in 'perf sched' local data structures. machine__exit() (via perf_session__delete) which would delete the 'dead' list heads. And then doing the final thread__put() for the refcounts 'perf sched' rightfully obtained for keeping those thread object references. b00m, since thread__put() would do the list_del_init() touching a dead dead list head. Fix it by removing all the dead threads from machine->threads[].dead at machine__exit(), since whatever is there should have refcounts taken by things like 'perf sched lat', and make thread__put() check if the thread is in a linked list before removing it from that list.
