[PATCH] perf tools: Don't set cmdline_group_boundary if no evsel is collected

Show all headers | View raw

If parse_events__scanner() collects no entry, perf_evlist__last(evlist)
is invalid. Then setting of cmdline_group_boundary touches invalid.

It could happend in currect BPF implementation. See [1]. Although it
can be fixed, for safety reason it whould be better to introduce this
check.
