perf hists browser: Fix segfault when showing callchain
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When perf report on TUI shows callchain it checks first node has
siblings to determine whether it needs to print percentage value.

But it missed a case that first node is NULL.  So sometimes it segfaults
like below:

  $ perf top -g
  perf: Segmentation fault
  -------- backtrace --------
  perf[0x4fcefb]
  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x33b20)[0x7f2a35839b20]
  perf(rb_next+0x8)[0x47d3d8]
  perf[0x4f6058]

  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d)[0x7f2a358ee5bd]

  $ addr2line -e `which perf` 0x4f6058
  /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:553

I don't know why the backtrace didn't print some symbols..
