[PATCH] perf bench: Fix NULL pointer dereference in "perf bench all"
From: Patrick Palka
Date: Wed Mar 12 2014 - 18:42:26 EST
for_each_bench() must check that the "benchmarks" field of a collection
is not NULL before dereferencing it because the "all" collection in
particular has a NULL "benchmarks" field (signifying that it has no
benchmarks to iterate over).
This fixes a NULL pointer dereference when running "perf bench all".
