Subject: [PATCH][GIT PULL] perf: Fix check at end of event search


Ingo,

I just notice that I had this patch laying around and never pushed it
out. I first had it in my ftrace branches but then realized that it was
a perf change. I moved it there, but got distracted and unfortunately,
forgot about it. I rebased it to the latest tip/perf/core.

The change is within a #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS

Please pull the latest tip/perf/core tree, which can be found at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace.git
tip/perf/core

    perf: Fix check at end of event search
    
    The original code doesn't work because "call" is never NULL there.
