From fdb6a8f4db813b4e50f4e975efe6be12ba5bf460 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Richter Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 17:13:27 +0100 Subject: oprofile: fix uninitialized use of struct op_entry Impact: fix crash In case of losing samples struct op_entry could have been used uninitialized causing e.g. a wrong preemption count or NULL pointer access. This patch fixes this.
