When it fails to open events record__open() returns without setting the
session->evlist. Then it gets a segfault in the function trying to read
lost sample counts. You can easily reproduce it as a normal user like:
$ perf record -p 1 true
...
perf: Segmentation fault
...
Skip the function if it has no evlist. And add more protection for evsels
which are not properly initialized.

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.
