perf test 39 fails with core dump on s390. The root cause
is a NULL pointer reference in function check_cpu_topology()
line 76 (or line 82 without -v).
The session->header.env.cpu variable is NULL because on s390
function process_cpu_topology() returns with error:
socket_id number is too big.
You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
and releases the env.cpu variable via zfree() and sets it to NULL.
Here is the gdb output:
(gdb) n
76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb) n
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000010f4d9e in check_cpu_topology (path=0x3ffffffd6c8
"/tmp/perf-test-J6CHMa", map=0x14a1740) at tests/topology.c:76
76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb)
Make sure the env.cpu variable is not used when its NULL.
Test for NULL pointer and return TEST_SKIP if so.

Ok, but can you please add a comment just before the added lines:
+ if (!session->header.env.cpu)
+ return TEST_SKIP;
+
Informing that this is so due to some bug, i.e. why is that
process_cpu_topology() returns with that "socked_id is too big" message?
This way people interested in auditing the tests to figure out why some
tests are being skipped can validate that comment and possibly come up
with some fix or better warning message after the "Skip" after that
'perf test' entry?

This is failing for me:
tests/topology.c: In function ‘test__session_topology’:
tests/topology.c:101:6: error: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
int ret;

Thanks for the pointer, will provide V2.
