Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf tools: Fix uninitialized memory access to struct perf_sample
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:32:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323966762-8574-2-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1323966762-8574-1-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com>

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.
