From 01ef09d9ffb5ce9f8d62d1e5206da3d5ca612acc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:26:11 +0100 Subject: perf_counter: fix uninitialized usage of event_list Impact: fix boot crash When doing the generic context switch event I ran into some early boot hangs, which were caused by inf func recursion (event, fault, event, fault). I eventually tracked it down to event_list not being initialized at the time of the first event. Fix this.
