From 4bd30106ddb26d2304adc5bb7bd269825300440d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Gortmaker Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2020 19:52:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/pt: Drop pointless NULL assignment. Only a few lines below this removed line is this: attrs = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); and since there is no code path where this could be avoided, the NULL assignment is a pointless relic of history and can be removed.
