Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: arm-spe: Fix uninitialized record error variable
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2018 17:45:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180810174512.52900813e57cbccf18ce99a2@arm.com> (raw)

The auxtrace init variable 'err' was not being initialized, leading
perf to abort early in an SPE record command when there was no explicit
error, rather only based whatever memory contents were on the stack.
Initialize it explicitly on getting an SPE successfully, the same way
cs-etm does.

Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@arm.com>

Hi Arnaldo, please apply to perf/urgent / stable series if at all
