[PATCH 08/13] perf record: Fix segfault with --no-mmap-pages

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Nov 12 2013 - 15:49:46 EST


From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx>

Adrian reported a segfault when using --no-out-pages:

$ tools/perf/perf record -vv --no-out-pages uname
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The same occurs with --no-mmap-pages. Fix by checking that str is
non-NULL before parsing it.
