From 7e1ccd3804281fc0755eb726b654469c40a96d89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 16:12:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: cleanup initialization of attr->size The perf_event_attr size needs to be initialized in all cases because it captures the ABI version. This patch moves the initialization of the field from the perf_event_open() syscall stub to its proper location in the event_attr_init().
