Subject: [PATCH v13 23/32] perf lock: Avoid segv if event is missing a callchain
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:29:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512223001.2952848-24-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512223001.2952848-1-irogers@google.com>

Sashiko recognized a potential segv if a sample is missing a
callchain. Return NULL for this case just as a memory allocation
failure does. In the verbose pr_debug output describe the error and
rather than fail the entire file just skip the event (return 0 rather
than -ENOMEM).
