[PATCH 07/10] perf sort: Check return value of strdup()

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Dec 27 2012 - 04:13:13 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

When setup_sorting() is called, 'str' is passed to strtok_r() but it's
not checked to have a valid pointer. As strtok_r() accepts NULL
pointer on a first argument and use the third argument in that case,
it can cause a trouble since our third argument, tmp, is not
initialized.
