Either one may be null, meaning it has no elements. But when elements are added, the hash is allocated. Throughout the code, a check needs to be made to see if a hash exists or the hash has elements, but the check if the hash exists is usually missing causing the possible "NULL pointer dereference bug". Add a helper routine called "ftrace_hash_empty()" that returns true if the hash doesn't exist or its count is zero. As they mean the same thing.
