perf top: Fix a segfault when kernel map is restricted.
Perf top raise a warning if a kernel sample is collected but kernel map is restricted. The warning message needs to dereference al.map->dso... However, previous perf_event__preprocess_sample() doesn't always guarantee al.map != NULL, for example, when kernel map is restricted. This patch validates al.map before dereferencing, avoid the segfault. Before this patch: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 1 $ perf top -p 120183 perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- /path/to/perf[0x509868] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7f9a1540045f] /path/to/perf[0x448820] /path/to/perf(cmd_top+0xe3c)[0x44a5dc] /path/to/perf[0x4766a2] /path/to/perf(main+0x5f5)[0x42e545] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7f9a153ecbd4] /path/to/perf[0x42e674] And gdb call trace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. perf_event__process_sample (machine=0xa44030, sample=0x7fffffffa4c0, evsel=0xa43b00, event=0x7ffff41c3000, tool=0x7fffffffa8a0) at builtin-top.c:736 736 !RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&al.map->dso->symbols[MAP__FUNCTION]) ?
