perf list: Robustify event printing routine
When a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper") added PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT we ended up with a new entry in the event_symbols_sw array that wasn't initialized, thus set to NULL, fix print_symbol_events() to check for that case so that we don't crash if this happens again. (gdb) bt #0 __match_glob (ignore_space=false, pat=<optimized out>, str=<optimized out>) at util/string.c:198 #1 strglobmatch (str=<optimized out>, pat=pat@entry=0x7fffffffe61d "stall") at util/string.c:252 #2 0x00000000004993a5 in print_symbol_events (type=1, syms=0x872880 <event_symbols_sw+160>, max=11, name_only=false, event_glob=0x7fffffffe61d "stall") at util/parse-events.c:1615 #3 print_events (event_glob=event_glob@entry=0x7fffffffe61d "stall", name_only=false) at util/parse-events.c:1675 #4 0x000000000042c79e in cmd_list (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe390, prefix=<optimized out>) at builtin-list.c:68 #5 0x00000000004788a5 in run_builtin (p=p@entry=0x871758 <commands+120>, argc=argc@entry=2, argv=argv@entry=0x7fffffffe390) at perf.c:370 #6 0x0000000000420ab0 in handle_internal_command (argv=0x7fffffffe390, argc=2) at perf.c:429 #7 run_argv (argv=0x7fffffffe110, argcp=0x7fffffffe11c) at perf.c:473 #8 main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe390) at perf.c:588 (gdb) p event_symbols_sw[PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT] $4 = {symbol = 0x0, alias = 0x0} (gdb) A patch to robustify perf to not segfault when the next counter gets added in the kernel will follow this one.
