Pipeline is broken by this commit in your urgent (but not yet pushed) tree:

commit 47832ad3e101e470a90fab9b4915549aaee03662
Author: Dmitry Antipov <dmitry.antipov@linaro.org>

perf report: Fix event name reporting in cross analysis

Use trace_find_event to find event name before looking through /sys
files. This helps 'perf report' to show real event names instead of
'unknown:unknown' when processing perf.data recorded on another
machine.


pevent might be NULL and pevent_find_event dereferences it causing a crash.

David
