From 10b8e3066066708f304e0fc5cfe658e05abf943d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2009 04:26:35 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: Work around gcc warning by initializing tracepoint record unconditionally MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Despite that the tracepoint record is always present when the PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD flag is set, gcc raises a warning, thinking it might not be initialized: kernel/perf_counter.c: In function ‘perf_counter_output’: kernel/perf_counter.c:2650: warning: ‘tp’ may be used uninitialized in this function Then, initialize it to NULL and always check if it's not NULL before dereference it.
