[PATCH v1 12/13] perf python: Add thread uninitialized checks

From: Ian Rogers

Date: Tue Jun 23 2026 - 01:39:34 EST


Add CHECK_INITIALIZED checks to the thread attribute getters
(get_pid, get_tid, get_ppid) to prevent crashes if they are accessed
before being properly initialized.

Fixes: 3b96bf7af60d ("perf python: Add python session abstraction wrapping perf's session")
