When packaging the perf userland application into an AppImage, the wait() call in perf stat returned too early. It turned out that some other child process exited, but not the one perf stat launched:
~~~~~ $ sudo strace -e fork,execve,clone,wait4 -f ./perf-x86_64.AppImage stat sleep 1 execve("./perf-git.3a73b7f9-x86_64.AppImage", ["./perf-git.3a73b7f9-x86_64.AppIm"..., "stat", "sleep", "1"], 0x7ffec1bbf050 /* 18 vars */) = 0 clone(child_stack=NULL, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f6a6e7efe50) = 3912 strace: Process 3912 attached [pid 3912] clone(child_stack=NULL, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f6a6e7efe50) = 3914 strace: Process 3914 attached [pid 3912] +++ exited with 0 +++ [pid 3911] --- SIGCHLD {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_EXITED, si_pid=3912, si_uid=0, si_status=0, si_utime=0, si_stime=0} --- [pid 3914] clone(strace: Process 3915 attached child_stack=0x7f6a6d9fefb0, flags=CLONE_VM|CLONE_FS|CLONE_FILES|CLONE_SIGHAND|CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_SETTLS|CLONE_PARENT_SETTID|CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID, parent_tidptr=0x7f6a6d9ff9d0, tls=0x7f6a6d9ff700, child_tidptr=0x7f6a6d9ff9d0) = 3915 [pid 3911] execve("/tmp/.mount_perf-g6VYMpl/AppRun", ["./perf-git.3a73b7f9-x86_64.AppIm"..., "stat", "sleep", "1"], 0x14aab70 /* 21 vars */) = 0 [pid 3911] clone(child_stack=NULL, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f4ae113c4d0) = 3916 strace: Process 3916 attached [pid 3911] wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 3912 [pid 3916] execve("/usr/libexec/perf-core/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/tmp/./sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/home/milian/.bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/usr/lib/icecream/libexec/icecc/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/ssd2/milian/projects/compiled/other/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/home/milian/.bin/kf5/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/ssd2/milian/projects/compiled/kf5/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/home/milian/projects/compiled/other/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/home/milian/projects/compiled/kf5/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/usr/local/sbin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/usr/local/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 3916] execve("/usr/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], 0x27d3650 /* 22 vars */ Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

This patch uses waitpid instead to ensure the call waits for the debuggee application launched by perf stat. This fixes perf stat when launched from an AppImage:
~~~~~ $ ./perf-x86_64.AppImage stat sleep 1
