Subject: [PATCH 5/5] perf hists browser: Fix segfault if use symbol filter in cmdline
Date: Mon,  7 Dec 2015 17:06:41 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449518801-18511-6-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1449518801-18511-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

If feed perf a symbol filter in cmdline and the result is empty,
pressing 'Enter' in the hist browser causes crash:

 # ./perf report perf.data   <-- Common mistake for beginners

Then press 'Enter':

 perf: Segmentation fault
 -------- backtrace --------
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x53e578]
 /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7f76bafe045f]
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x539dd4]
 /home/wangnan/perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x96)[0x53d216]
 /home/wangnan/perf(cmd_report+0x1b9f)[0x442c7f]
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x47efa2]
 /home/wangnan/perf(main+0x5f5)[0x432fa5]
 /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7f76bafccbd4]
 /home/wangnan/perf[0x4330d4]

This is because 'perf.data' is interpreted as a symbol filter, and the
result is empty, so selection is empty. However,
hist_browser__toggle_fold() forgets to check it.

This patch simply return false when selection is NULL.
