Subject[PATCH 1/2] perf, tools: Fix crash while reading old perf.data
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

In some cases when reading perf.data generated by much
older perf I got segfaults with dso->long_name being zero.
This patch fixes them for me.

Haven't tracked down the exact cause. I assume it's
some error path that doesn't set it.
