Subject: perf scripting: Avoid leaking the scripting_context variable
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ef6a3c0136b2005ff887e777f51200938ac3214;p=linux-beck.git

perf scripting: Avoid leaking the scripting_context variable

commit cf346d5bd4b9d61656df2f72565c9b354ef3ca0d upstream.

Both register_perl_scripting() and register_python_scripting() allocate
this variable, fix it by checking if it already was.
