H A Dperf-hooks.cdiff e3e2cf3d Wed Sep 25 01:59:24 MDT 2019 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> perf tests: Avoid raising SEGV using an obvious NULL dereference

An optimized build such as:

make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O3

will turn the dereference operation into a ud2 instruction, raising a
SIGILL rather than a SIGSEGV. Use raise(..) for correctness and clarity.

Similar issues were addressed in Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo's patch:
