Leo Yan e939347056 perf session: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference found by the smatch tool
[ Upstream commit f3c8d90757 ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/util/session.c:1252
  dump_read() error: we previously assumed 'evsel' could be null
  (see line 1249)

  tools/perf/util/session.c
  1240 static void dump_read(struct perf_evsel *evsel, union perf_event *event)
  1241 {
  1242         struct read_event *read_event = &event->read;
  1243         u64 read_format;
  1244
  1245         if (!dump_trace)
  1246                 return;
  1247
  1248         printf(": %d %d %s %" PRIu64 "\n", event->read.pid, event->read.tid,
  1249                evsel ? perf_evsel__name(evsel) : "FAIL",
  1250                event->read.value);
  1251
  1252         read_format = evsel->attr.read_format;
                             ^^^^^^^

'evsel' could be NULL pointer, for this case this patch directly bails
out without dumping read_event.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
