From: Stephane Eranian Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 15:12:38 +0000 (+0100) Subject: perf tools: cleanup initialization of attr->size X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e1ccd3804281fc0755eb726b654469c40a96d89;p=mv-sheeva.git perf tools: cleanup initialization of attr->size The perf_event_attr size needs to be initialized in all cases because it captures the ABI version. This patch moves the initialization of the field from the perf_event_open() syscall stub to its proper location in the event_attr_init().
