[PATCH v2] perf tools: perf_event_paranoid and kptr_restrict may crash on 'perf top'
From: Jackie Liu
Date: Thu Feb 25 2021 - 01:28:10 EST
After install the libelf-dev package and compiling perf, kptr_restrict=2
and perf_event_paranoid=3 will cause perf top to crash, because the
value of /proc/kallsyms cannot be obtained, which leads to
info->jited_ksyms == NULL. In order to solve this problem, Add a
judgment before use.
