Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix initialization bug in parse_single_tracepoint_event()
Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:06:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4bcf232b.698fd80a.6fbe.ffffb737@mx.google.com> (raw)


  The parse_single_tracepoint_event() was setting some attributes
  before it validated the event was indeed a tracepoint event. This
  caused problems with other initialization routines like in the
  builtin-top.c module whereby sample_period is not set if not 0.
