[PATCH 4/8] perf session: Fix possible null pointer dereference in session.c

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Mon May 19 2014 - 08:31:19 EST


From: Masanari Iida <standby24x7@xxxxxxxxx>

cppcheck detected following warning:
[tools/perf/util/session.c:1628] -> [tools/perf/util/session.c:1632]:
(warning) Possible null pointer dereference: session - otherwise it
is redundant to check it against null.

In order to avoide null pointer, check the pointer before use.
