[PATCH] perf hists browser: Fix segfault when showing callchain

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Dec 24 2014 - 01:04:08 EST


When perf report on TUI shows callchain it checks first node has
siblings to determine whether it needs to print percentage value. But
it missed a case that first node is NULL. So sometimes it segfaults
like below:

$ perf top -g
perf: Segmentation fault
-------- backtrace --------
perf[0x4fcefb]
/usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x33b20)[0x7f2a35839b20]

/usr/lib/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d)[0x7f2a358ee5bd]

$ addr2line -e `which perf` 0x4f6058
/home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:553

I don't know why the backtrace didn't print some symbols..

Fixes: 4087d11cd945 ("perf hists browser: Print overhead percent value for first-level callchain")
