From cc2d86b04d9ac28a6be6cb05da6ea8f014fd5aa0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 18:19:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf evlist: Fix missing event name init for default event When no event is given to perf record, perf top, a default event is initialized (cycles). However, perf_evlist__add_default() was not setting the symbolic name for the event. Perf top worked simply because it was reconstructing the name from the event code. But it should not have to do this. This patch initializes the evsel->name field properly. This second version improves the code flow on the non error path.
