[PATCH v1] perf pmu: Avoid segv for missing name/alias_name in wildcarding
Posted by Ian Rogers 10 months, 1 week ago 
The pmu name or alias_name fields may be NULL and should be skipped if
so. This is done in all loops of perf_pmu___name_match except the
final wildcard loop which was an oversight.

Fixes: c786468a3585 ("perf pmu: Rename name matching for no suffix or wildcard variants")

Done.

Not sure what put patch off given the small nature of the change.

Thanks,
