Subject: perf machine: Guard against NULL in machine__exit()
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4a2233b194c77ae1ea8304cb7c00b551de4313f0;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

perf machine: Guard against NULL in machine__exit()

A recent fix for 'perf trace' introduced a bug where
machine__exit(trace->host) could be called while trace->host was still
NULL, so make this more robust by guarding against NULL, just like
free() does.

The problem happens, for instance, when !root users try to run 'perf
trace':

  [acme@jouet linux]$ trace
  Error:	No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
  Hint:	Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'

  perf: Segmentation fault
