perf trace: Fix race in signal handling
Since a lot of stuff happens before the SIGINT signal handler is registered (scanning /proc/*, etc.), on bigger systems, such as Cavium Sabre CN99xx, it may happen that first interrupt signal is lost and perf isn't correctly terminated. The reproduction code might look like the following: perf trace -a & PERF_PID=$! sleep 4 kill -INT $PERF_PID The issue has been found on a CN99xx machine with RHEL-8 and the patch fixes it by registering the signal handlers earlier in the init stage.
