Subject: [PATCH] tools perf: set vmlinux_path__nr_entries to 0 in vmlinux_path__exit.
Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 12:22:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1431606150-163436-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> (raw)
Original vmlinux_path__exit() doesn't revert vmlinux_path__nr_entries
to its original state. After the while loop vmlinux_path__nr_entries
becomes -1 instead of 0. This makes a problem that, if runs twice,
during the second run vmlinux_path__init() will set vmlinux_path[-1]
to strdup("vmlinux"), corrupts random memory.
This patch reset vmlinux_path__nr_entries to 0 after the while loop.
