[PATCH] perf report: Fix a bug on "--call-graph none" option

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Sep 30 2015 - 00:48:20 EST


The patch f9db0d0f1b2c ("perf callchain: Allow disabling call graphs
per event") added an ability to enable/disable callchain recording per
event. But it had a problem when the enablement setting is changed at
'perf report' time using -g/--call-graph option.

For example, the following scenario will get a segfault.

$ perf record -ag sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.500 MB perf.data (2555 samples) ]

$ perf report -g none
perf: Segmentation fault
-------- backtrace --------
perf[0x53a98a]
/usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x335af)[0x7f4e91df95af]

This is because callchain_param.sort() callback was not set but it
tried to call the function as it had the PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN bit.
