While updating perf to work with Python3 and Python2 I noticed that the
stat-cpi script was dumping core.
$ perf stat -e cycles,instructions record -o /tmp/perf.data /bin/false
Performance counter stats for '/bin/false':
802,148 cycles
604,622 instructions 802,148 cycles
604,622 instructions
0.001445842 seconds time elapsed
$ perf script -i /tmp/perf.data -s scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The issue is that since 1fcd03946b perf_stat__update_shadow_stats now calls
update_runtime_stat passing rt_stat rather than calling update_stats but
perf_stat__init_shadow_stats has never been called to initialize rt_stat in
the script path processing recorded stat data.
Since I can't see any reason why perf_stat__init_shadow_stats() is presently
initialized like it is in builtin-script.c::perf_sample__fprint_metric()
[4bd1bef8bb] I'm proposing it instead be initialized once in __cmd_script
Committer testing:
After applying the patch:
# perf script -i /tmp/perf.data -s tools/perf/scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
0.001970: cpu -1, thread -1 -> cpi 1.709079 (1075684/629394)
#
No segfault.

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.
