perf c2c report: Fix crash for empty browser
'perf c2c' scans read/write accesses and tries to find false sharing cases, so when the events it wants were not asked for or ended up not taking place, we get no histograms. So do not try to display entry details if there's not any. Currently this ends up in crash: $ perf c2c report # then press 'd' perf: Segmentation fault $ Committer testing: Before: Record a perf.data file without events of interest to 'perf c2c report', then call it and press 'd': # perf record sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (6 samples) ] # perf c2c report perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x5b1d2a] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x346df)[0x7fcb566e36df] perf[0x46fcae] perf[0x4a9f1e] perf[0x4aa220] perf(main+0x301)[0x42c561] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe9)[0x7fcb566cff29] perf(_start+0x29)[0x42c999] # After the patch the segfault doesn't take place, a follow up patch to tell the user why nothing changes when 'd' is pressed would be good.
