Subject: perf_counter tools: Initialize a stack variable before use
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9fbc9dc9214d6a9de7d62627be5414804fd7b9f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

perf_counter tools: Initialize a stack variable before use

the "perf report" utility crashed in some circumstances
because the "sym" stack variable was not initialized before used
(as also proven by valgrind).

With this fix both the crash goes away and valgrind no longer complains.
