__cmd_diff() sets result of perf_session__new() to d->session.
In case of failure, it's errno and perf-diff may crash with:
failed to open perf.data: Permission denied
Failed to open perf.data
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
From the coredump:
0 0x00005569a62b5955 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff)
at util/auxtrace.c:2681
1 0x00005569a626b37d in perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff)
at util/session.c:295
2 perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:291
3 0x00005569a618008a in __cmd_diff () at builtin-diff.c:1239
4 cmd_diff (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at builtin-diff.c:2011
[..]
Funny enough, it won't always crash. For me it crashes only if failed
file is second in cmd-line: the reason is that cmd_diff() check files for
branch-stacks [in check_file_brstack()] and if the first file doesn't
have brstacks, it doesn't proceed to try open other files from cmd-line.
Check d->session before calling perf_session__delete().
Another solution would be assigning to temporary variable, checking it,
but I find it easier to follow with IS_ERR() check in the same function.
After some time it's still obvious why the check is needed, and with
temp variable it's possible to make the same mistake.

Reviewer Notes:
Looks good to me. Some more context:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wstring-compare
The spec says:
J.1 Unspecified behavior
The following are unspecified:
.. Whether two string literals result in distinct arrays (6.4.5).

We have already implemented some block-info related functions.
Now it's time to do some cleanup, refactoring and move the
functions and structures to new block-info.h/block-info.c.
v4:
---
Move code for skipping column length calculation to patch:
'perf diff: Don't use hack to skip column length calculation'
v3:
---
1. Rename the patch title
2. Rename from block.h/block.c to block-info.h/block-info.c
3. Move more common part to block-info, such as
block_info__process_sym.
4. Remove the nasty hack for skipping calculation of column
length
