[ Upstream commit 96167167b6e17b25c0e05ecc31119b73baeab094 ]

'perf script' crashes currently when printing mixed trace points and
other events because the trace format does not handle events without
trace meta data. Add a simple check to avoid that.

% cat > test.c
main()
{
printf("Hello world\n");
}
^D
% gcc -g -o test test.c
% sudo perf probe -x test 'test.c:3'
% perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_test:main}:S' ./test
% perf script
<segfault>

Committer testing:

Before:

# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.28.so malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on malloc in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

# perf probe -l
probe_libc:malloc (on __libc_malloc@malloc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
# perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_libc:*}:S' sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (40 samples) ]
# perf script
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
^C
#

After:

# perf script | head -6
