From 93b0ba3c60da89043ce2b9f601cd2b3da408903b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2015 02:25:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Clear struct machine during machine__init() There are so many test cases use stack allocated 'struct machine'. Including: test__hists_link test__hists_filter test__mmap_thread_lookup test__thread_mg_share test__hists_output test__hists_cumulate Also, in non-test code (for example, machine__new_host()) there are code use 'malloc()' to alloc struct machine. These are dangerous operations, cause some tests fail or hung in machines__exit(). For example, in machines__exit -> machine__destroy_kernel_maps -> map_groups__remove -> maps__remove -> pthread_rwlock_wrlock a incorrectly initialized lock causes unintended behavior. This patch memset(0) that structure in machine__init() to ensure all fields in 'struct machine' are initialized to zero.
