From 114067b69e7b2c691faace0e33db2f04096f668d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 14:43:27 +0900 Subject: perf tools: Check if callchain is corrupted We faced segmentation fault on perf top -G at very high sampling rate due to a corrupted callchain. While the root cause was not revealed (I failed to figure it out), this patch tries to protect us from the segfault on such cases.
