Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: arm-spe: Fix uninitialized record error
 variable
Message-Id: <20180810174512.52900813e57cbccf18ce99a2@arm.com>
Organization: Arm
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The auxtrace init variable 'err' was not being initialized, leading
perf to abort early in an SPE record command when there was no explicit
error, rather only based whatever memory contents were on the stack.
Initialize it explicitly on getting an SPE successfully, the same way
cs-etm does.
