Subject: perf ftrace: Fix hashmap__new() error checking
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc4~21^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=be34705aa527872e5ce83927b7bc9307ba8095ca;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

perf ftrace: Fix hashmap__new() error checking

The hashmap__new() function never returns NULL, it returns error
pointers. Fix the error checking to match.

Additionally, set ftrace->profile_hash to NULL on error, and return the
exact error code from hashmap__new().

Fixes: 0f223813edd051a5 ("perf ftrace: Add 'profile' command")
