Subject[PATCH v1 09/11] perf intel-bts: Smatch: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Date
Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.

tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:898
intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() error: we previously assumed
'session->itrace_synth_opts' could be null (see line 894)

tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:899
intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() warn: variable dereferenced before
check 'session->itrace_synth_opts' (see line 898)

tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c
894 if (session->itrace_synth_opts && session->itrace_synth_opts->set) {
895 bts->synth_opts = *session->itrace_synth_opts;
896 } else {
897 itrace_synth_opts__set_default(&bts->synth_opts,
898 session->itrace_synth_opts->default_no_sample);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
899 if (session->itrace_synth_opts)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
900 bts->synth_opts.thread_stack =
901 session->itrace_synth_opts->thread_stack;
902 }

To dismiss the potential NULL pointer dereference, this patch validates
the pointer 'session->itrace_synth_opts' before access its elements.
