Making it a bit more robust, this took place here when a sample appeared
right after:
ffffffff8a925000 D __nosave_end
And before the next considered symbol, which, using kallsyms make us
over guess the size of __nosave_end, and then the sequence:
hist_entry__inc_addr_samples ->
symbol__inc_addr_samples ->
symbol__hists ->
annotated_source__alloc_histograms
Ends up not liking to allocate gigabytes of ram for annotation...
This will be alleviated by considering BSS symbols, which we should but
don't so far, and then we should investigate those samples further.
The testcase was to have:
perf top -e cycles/call-graph=fp/,cache-misses/call-graph=dwarf/,instructions
Running for a while till it segfaulted trying to access NULL notes->src->histograms.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
