There are some places that use snprintf() to query the actual length:

tools/perf/util/srcline.c:245: size = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%s:%u", file, line) + 1;
tools/perf/util/values.c:147: width = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%d", values->pid[i]);
tools/perf/util/values.c:150: width = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%d", values->tid[i]);
tools/perf/util/values.c:154: width = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%" PRIu64, values->value[i][j]);
tools/perf/util/values.c:189: width = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%d", values->pid[i]);
tools/perf/util/values.c:192: width = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%d", values->tid[i]);
tools/perf/util/values.c:200: width = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%" PRIx64, values->counterrawid[j]);
tools/perf/util/values.c:206: width = snprintf(NULL, 0, "%" PRIu64, values->value[i][j]);


Thanks,
