[PATCH 1/3] trace-cmd: add checks for invalid pointers to fix segfaults

From: Mark Asselstine
Date: Thu Apr 05 2012 - 15:20:27 EST


Running 'trace-cmd report' after running latency tracers will cause a
segfault due to invalid pointers. Adding checks to ensure
pointers/lists are initialized before attempting to use them prevents
these segfaults.
