4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 99d86c8b88393e29cf07c020585f2c8afbcdd97d ] Song Liu reported crash in 'perf record': > #0 0x0000000000500055 in ordered_events(float, long double,...)(...) () > #1 0x0000000000500196 in ordered_events.reinit () > #2 0x00000000004fe413 in perf_session.process_events () > #3 0x0000000000440431 in cmd_record () > #4 0x00000000004a439f in run_builtin () > #5 0x000000000042b3e5 in main ()" This can happen when we get out of buffers during event processing. The subsequent ordered_events__free() call assumes oe->buffer != NULL and crashes. Add a check to prevent that.
