From f3bda2c9a689b38c059f7cb2d761ff58a2996370 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Richter Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:32:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf evsel: Fix uninitialized memory access to struct perf_sample Memory in struct perf_sample is not fully initialized during parsing. Depending on sampling data some parts may left unchanged. Zero out struct perf_sample first to avoid access to uninitialized memory.
