Subject: [PATCH v2] perf target: Ignore return value of strerror_r() explicitly
Date: Tue,  3 Jul 2012 10:54:12 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1341280452-18919-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

Since glibc 2.16 added warn_unused_result (wur) attribute
to the function, we should check it or ignore it explicitly.

Also resets @buf not to access to garbages for an invalid
(negative) @errnum.
