Subject: [PATCH 0/1] perf report: fix missing references to maps and map in thread__find_map

We found a segfault when run perf report on raw perf_data from perf record.
Basically with 0dd5041c9a0e ("perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions"),
thread__find_map() would return with al->maps being NULL when cpumode is 3
(macro PERF_RECORD_MISC_HYPERVISOR). Later dereferencing maps->machine would crash.

The fix is to add back references to struct maps/map in thread__find_map(),
please see 0001-perf-probe-fix-missing-references-to-maps-and-map-in.patch,
which is made and tested on afcd48134c58 ("Merge tag
'mm-hotfixes-stable-2024-06-26-17-28' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm")

Debug diffs made on 0dd5041c9a0e is attached as
0002-debug-patch-for-perf-report-segfault.patch

Steps to reproduce and what are observed:
1. Run 'gdb ./perf'
2. Initial gdb output. cpumode is 3 and address of node->ms is 0x55555684aee8.

(gdb) run report --stdio -v -i ~/perf_data
...

4. The line of code at fault. We can see that deferencing maps->machine caused segfault.
