From: Adrian Hunter Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 13:05:44 +0000 (+0300) Subject: perf tools: Fix parse_events_error dereferences X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a6ced2be06c302402c52dedba97d169d22cce99c;p=linux-beck.git perf tools: Fix parse_events_error dereferences Parse errors can be reported in struct parse_events_error but the pointer passed is optional and can be NULL. Ensure it is not NULL before dereferencing it.
