From 20914ce5b9e1ef4a35f1f09a2c9c8fb8eb1c4d86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:59:29 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf kvm: Initialize file_name var to fix segfault The 3786063 commit: perf kvm: Rename perf_kvm to perf_kvm_stat Moved the file_name from inside a local struct var that initialized some of its members, thus zero initializing the not explicitely initialized variables, one of which was 'file_name', to a standalone local variable, but forgot to initialize it explicitely to NULL, so it then got some undefined value, causing a segfault in strdup when it wasn't, by luck, zero. Fix it by explicitely initializing it to NULL.
