Subject: perf parse-events: Fix segfault when event parser gets an error
X-Git-Tag: v5.15.73~915
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5958ef867b9d75a66d819114e6a196ed10957097;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

perf parse-events: Fix segfault when event parser gets an error

commit 2e828582b81f5bc76a4fe8e7812df259ab208302 upstream.

parse_events() is often called with parse_events_error set to NULL.
Make parse_events_error__handle() not segfault in that case.

A subsequent patch changes to avoid passing NULL in the first place.

Fixes: 43eb05d066795bdf ("perf tests: Support 'Track with sched_switch' test for hybrid")
