When we have a perf.data file with tracepoints, such as:
# perf evlist -f
probe_perf:lzma_decompress_to_file
# Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events
#
We end up segfaulting when using perf built with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 by
trying to find an evsel with a NULL 'event_name' variable:
(gdb) run report --stdio -f
Starting program: /root/bin/perf report --stdio -f
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

So check if we have tracepoint events in add_dynamic_entry() and bail
out instead:
# perf report --stdio -f
This perf binary isn't linked with libtraceevent, can't process probe_perf:lzma_decompress_to_file
Error:
Unknown --sort key: `trace'

Fixes: 378ef0f5d9 ("perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system")

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.
