perf top: Skip side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not set
commit 0c5f1acc2a14416bf30023f373558d369afdbfc8 upstream. When I execute 'perf top' without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, there exists the following segmentation fault, skip the side-band event setup to fix it, this is similar with commit 1101c872c8c7 ("perf record: Skip side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not set"). [yangtiezhu@linux perf]$ ./perf top <SNIP> perf: Segmentation fault Obtained 6 stack frames. ./perf(sighandler_dump_stack+0x5c) [0x12011b604] [0xffffffc010] ./perf(perf_mmap__read_init+0x3e) [0x1201feeae] ./perf() [0x1200d715c] /lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0xab9c) [0xffee10ab9c] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x128f4c) [0xffedc08f4c] Segmentation fault [yangtiezhu@linux perf]$ I use git bisect to find commit b38d85ef49cf ("perf bpf: Decouple creating the evlist from adding the SB event") is the first bad commit, so also add the Fixes tag.
