perf stat: Avoid sending SIGTERM to random processes This patch fixes a problem with perf stat whereby on termination it may send a SIGTERM signal to random processes on systems with high PID recycling. I got some actual bug reports on this. There is race between the SIGCHLD and sig_atexit() handlers. This patch addresses this problem by clearing child_pid in the SIGCHLD handler.
