Jiri Slaby f3013f7ed4 perf trace: Fix off by ones in memset() after realloc() in arches using libaudit
'perf trace ls' started crashing after commit d21cb73a90 on
!HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT configs (armv7l here) like this:

  0  strlen () at ../sysdeps/arm/armv6t2/strlen.S:126
  1  0xb6800780 in __vfprintf_internal (s=0xbeff9908, s@entry=0xbeff9900, format=0xa27160 "]: %s()", ap=..., mode_flags=<optimized out>) at vfprintf-internal.c:1688
  ...
  5  0x0056ecdc in fprintf (__fmt=0xa27160 "]: %s()", __stream=<optimized out>) at /usr/include/bits/stdio2.h:100
  6  trace__sys_exit (trace=trace@entry=0xbeffc710, evsel=evsel@entry=0xd968d0, event=<optimized out>, sample=sample@entry=0xbeffc3e8) at builtin-trace.c:2475
  7  0x00566d40 in trace__handle_event (sample=0xbeffc3e8, event=<optimized out>, trace=0xbeffc710) at builtin-trace.c:3122
  ...
  15 main (argc=2, argv=0xbefff6e8) at perf.c:538

It is because memset in trace__read_syscall_info zeroes wrong memory:

1) when initializing for the first time, it does not reset the last id.

2) in other cases, it resets the last id of previous buffer.

ad 1) it causes the crash above as sc->name used in the fprintf above
      contains garbage.

ad 2) it sets nonexistent from true back to false for id 11 here. Not
      sure, what the consequences are.

So fix it by introducing a special case for the initial initialization
and do the right +1 in both cases.

Fixes: d21cb73a90 ("perf trace: Grow the syscall table as needed when using libaudit")

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.
