[PATCH 3/7] perf tools: Fix report -F mispredict for data without branch info

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Thu Oct 16 2014 - 10:07:44 EST


The branch field sorting code assumes hist_entry::branch_info
is allocated, which is wrong and following perf session ends
up with report segfault.

$ perf record ls
$ perf report -F mispredict
perf: Segmentation fault

Checking that hist_entry::branch_info is valid and display
"N/A" string in snprint callback if it's not.
