From: Robert Richter Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:32:39 +0000 (+0100) Subject: perf evsel: Fix uninitialized memory access to struct perf_sample X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f3bda2c;p=linux-beck.git perf evsel: Fix uninitialized memory access to struct perf_sample Memory in struct perf_sample is not fully initialized during parsing. Depending on sampling data some parts may left unchanged. Zero out struct perf_sample first to avoid access to uninitialized memory.
