From 3178f58b989430fd0721df97bf21cf1c0e8cc419 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:37:14 +0100 Subject: perf tools: Do proper comm override error handling The comm overriding API ignores memory allocation failures by silently keeping the previous and out of date comm. As a result, the user may get buggy events without ever being notified about the problem and its source. Lets start to fix this by propagating the error from the API. Not all callers may be doing proper error handling on comm set yet but this is the first step toward it.
