[PATCH 2/2] perf metricgroup: Return error code from metricgroup__add_metric_sys_event_iter()

From: John Garry <hidden>
Date: 2021-06-10 14:37:45
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

The error code is not set at all in the sys event iter function.

This may lead to an uninitialized value of "ret" in
metricgroup__add_metric() when no CPU metric is added.

Fix by properly setting the error code.

It is not necessary to init "ret" to 0 in metricgroup__add_metric(), as
if we have no CPU or sys event metric matching, then "has_match" should
be 0 and "ret" is set to -EINVAL.

However gcc cannot detect that it may not have been set after the
map_for_each_metric() loop for CPU metrics, which is strange.

Fixes: be335ec28efa8 ("perf metricgroup: Support adding metrics for system PMUs")
