Series [1/2] perf trace: Use pr_debug() instead of fprintf() for logging | expand

Commit Message

Leo Yan June 17, 2019, 9:11 a.m. UTC 
trace__init_bpf_map_syscall_args() invokes trace__syscall_info() to
retrieve system calls information, it always passes NULL for 'evsel'
argument; when id is an invalid value then the logging will try to
output event name, this triggers NULL pointer dereference.

This patch directly uses string "unknown" for event name when 'evsel'
is NULL pointer.
