Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Fix s390 random record__auxtrace_init return value
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 16:29:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180423142940.21143-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Command perf record calls
cmd_report
+---> record__auxtrace_init
      +---> auxtrace_record__init()

On s390 function auxtrace_record__init() returns random return
value due to missing initialization.
This sometime causes perf record to exit immediately without
error message and creating a perf.data file.

Fix this by setting error return code to zero before return
from platform specific function which does not set the
error code in call cases.
