commit 0c5f1acc2a14416bf30023f373558d369afdbfc8 upstream.
When I execute 'perf top' without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, there exists the
following segmentation fault, skip the side-band event setup to fix it,
this is similar with commit 1101c872c8c7 ("perf record: Skip side-band
event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not set").
[yangtiezhu@linux perf]$ ./perf top
<SNIP>
perf: Segmentation fault
Obtained 6 stack frames.

[yangtiezhu@linux perf]$
I use git bisect to find commit b38d85ef49cf ("perf bpf: Decouple
creating the evlist from adding the SB event") is the first bad commit,
so also add the Fixes tag.
Committer testing:
First build perf explicitely disabling libbpf:
$ make NO_LIBBPF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin && perf test python
Now make sure it isn't linked:
$ perf -vv | grep -w bpf
bpf: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
$
$ nm ~/bin/perf | grep libbpf
$
And now try to run 'perf top':
# perf top
perf: Segmentation fault

Applying this patch fixes the issue.

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.
