6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Namhyung Kim namhyung@kernel.org
commit 9af2efee41b27a0f386fb5aa95d8d0b4b5d9fede upstream.
The fields in the hist_entry are filled on-demand which means they only have meaningful values when relevant sort keys are used.
So if neither of 'dso' nor 'sym' sort keys are used, the map/symbols in the hist entry can be garbage. So it shouldn't access it unconditionally.
I got a segfault, when I wanted to see cgroup profiles.
$ sudo perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth=cgroup true
$ sudo perf report -s cgroup

As you can see the entry->ms.map was NULL even if he->ms.map has a value. This is because 'sym' sort key is not given, so it cannot assume whether he->ms.sym and entry->ms.sym is the same. I only checked the 'sym' sort key here as it implies 'dso' behavior (so maps are the same).
