Subject: [PATCH] perf pmu: fix alias->snapshot missing initialization bug
Date: Wed,  6 Jan 2016 19:50:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452106201-13073-1-git-send-email-eranian@google.com> (raw)

This patch fixes a bug in __perf_pmu__new_alias() whereby
the alias->snapshot field was not initialized to false. This
led to random alias->snapshot value for an alias and
was breaking some measurements such as:

$ perf stat -a -e uncore_imc/data_reads/ -I 1000 sleep 100

Because the event ended up being treated as snapshot mode, when
it is not.
