Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix segfault due to invalid kernel dso access
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 13:30:28 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1416285028-30572-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

Jiri reported that the commit 96d78059d6d9 ("perf tools: Make vmlinux
short name more like kallsyms short name") segfaults on perf script.

When processing kernel mmap event, it should access the 'kernel'
variable as sometimes it cannot find a matching dso from build-id
table so 'dso' might be invalid.
