Since clang generates DWARF5 which sets DW_AT_decl_file as 0,
dwarf_decl_file() thinks that is invalid and returns NULL. In that case
'perf probe' SIGSEGVs because it doesn't expect a NULL decl_file.
This adds a dwarf_decl_file() return value check to avoid such SEGV with
clang generated DWARF5 info.
Without this, 'perf probe' crashes:
$ perf probe -k $BIN_PATH/vmlinux -s $SRC_PATH -L vfs_read:10
Segmentation fault
$
With this, it just warns about it:
$ perf probe -k $BIN_PATH/vmlinux -s $SRC_PATH -L vfs_read:10
Debuginfo analysis failed.
Error: Failed to show lines.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
