From bce34d14428d35d9a06ddc10cd46ecef311764c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:05:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: perf: initialise used_mask for fake PMU during validation When validating an event group, we call pmu->get_event_idx for each group member in order to check that the group can be scheduled as a unit on an empty PMU. As a result of 3fc2c830 ("ARM: perf: remove event limit from pmu_hw_events"), the used_mask member of struct cpu_hw_events must be setup explicitly, something which we don't do for the fake cpu_hw_events used for validation. This patch sets up an empty used_mask for the fake validation cpu_hw_events, preventing NULL deferences when trying to get the event index.
