[PATCH] perf callchain: Fix segfault in thread__resolve_callchain_sample()

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Nov 14 2019 - 09:26:38 EST


Do not dereference 'chain' when it is NULL.

$ perf record -e intel_pt//u -e branch-misses:u uname
$ perf report --itrace=l --branch-history
perf: Segmentation fault

Fixes: e9024d519d89 ("perf callchain: Honour the ordering of PERF_CONTEXT_{USER,KERNEL,etc}")
