Boring notabug report, but..

(Dr. Dr., perf acts all dainbramaged when you shoot it in the head)

reproducer: perf record -a -g& sleep 1;whatever;killall perf

Discovered because AIM7 needs input, and does not run properly when
profiled via the more conventional perf record -a -g -- ./multitask -nl
-f.  Ergo, start perf record, run AIM7, kill perf.  Say SIGINT instead,
and it works as expected.  SIGTERM leaves perf.data in a bad state that
report can't deal with, but it'll happily keep trying forever.

Only mentioned because some other user might try to workaround input
nogo thingy and meet the same.
