[PATCH 1/4] perf evlist: Return first evsel for non-sample event on old kernel

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

On old kernels that don't support sample_id_all feature,
perf_evlist__id2evsel() returns NULL for non-sampling events.

This breaks perf top when multiple events are given on command line. Fix
it by using first evsel in the evlist. This will also prevent getting
the same (potential) problem in such new tool/ old kernel combo.
