From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2009 02:26:35 +0000 (+0200) Subject: perf_counter: Work around gcc warning by initializing tracepoint record unconditionally X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10b8e3066066708f304e0fc5cfe658e05abf943d;p=linux-beck.git perf_counter: Work around gcc warning by initializing tracepoint record unconditionally Despite that the tracepoint record is always present when the PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD flag is set, gcc raises a warning, thinking it might not be initialized: kernel/perf_counter.c: In function ‘perf_counter_output’: kernel/perf_counter.c:2650: warning: ‘tp’ may be used uninitialized in this function Then, initialize it to NULL and always check if it's not NULL before dereference it.
