Subject: [PATCH] perf kvm: fix segfault by initializing file_name to NULL
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:29:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362022197-38929-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)
Dongsoo reported that perf-kvm was segfaulting. The bug was introduced by
commit 3786063 which moved file_name from struct perf_kvm which was
initialized on the stack to an uninitialized stack variable. Fix by
initializing.
Needs to be applied to 3.7 and 3.8 as well.
