Subject: perf stat-shadow: In prepare_metric fix guard on reading NULL perf_stat_evsel
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc1~16^2~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=63b320aaac08ba267268ec21a195ce3c82dcb8ab;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

perf stat-shadow: In prepare_metric fix guard on reading NULL perf_stat_evsel

The aggr value is setup to always be non-null creating a redundant
guard for reading from it. Switch to using the perf_stat_evsel (ps)
and narrow the scope of aggr so that it is known valid when used.
