Subject: perf kmem: Fix segfault when invalid sort key is given
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=405f87557da35a03ba4663eca971ffac58b0a818;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

perf kmem: Fix segfault when invalid sort key is given

When it tries to free 'str', it was already updated by strsep() - so it
needs to save the original pointer.

  # perf kmem stat -s xxx,hit
    Error: Unknown --sort key: 'xxx'
  *** Error in `perf': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000e9e7b6 ***
