[PATCH] perf probe: check if *ptr2 is zero and not ptr2

From: Colin King
Date: Mon Oct 03 2016 - 06:35:00 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Static anaylsis with cppcheck detected an incorrect comparison:
[tools/perf/util/probe-event.c:216]: (warning) Char literal compared with
pointer 'ptr2'. Did you intend to dereference it?

Dereference ptr2 for the comparison to fix this.

Fixes: 35726d3a4ca9 ("perf probe: Fix to cut off incompatible chars from group name")
