From: Jiri Olsa jolsa@kernel.org
[ Upstream commit 89d0aeab4252adc2a7ea693637dd21c588bfa2d1 ]
The stdio perf top crashes when we change the terminal window size. The reason is that we assumed we get the perf_top pointer as a signal handler argument which is not the case.
Changing the SIGWINCH handler logic to change global resize variable, which is checked in the main thread loop.
