perf tools: Correct size given to memset
Memset should be given the size of the structure, not the size of the pointer. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; T *x; expression E; @@ memset(x, E, sizeof( + * x)) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0912092026000.1870@ask.diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
