Veronika Molnarova 37e2a19c98 perf test pmu: Set uninitialized PMU alias to null
Commit 3e0bf9fde2 ("perf pmu: Restore full PMU name wildcard
support") adds a test case "PMU cmdline match" that covers PMU name
wildcard support provided by function perf_pmu__match().

The test works with a wide range of supported combinations of PMU name
matching but omits the case that if the perf_pmu__match() cannot match
the PMU name to the wildcard, it tries to match its alias. However, this
variable is not set up, causing the test case to fail when run with
subprocesses or to segfault if run as a single process.

  ./perf test -vv 9

  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Initialize the PMU alias to null for all tests of perf_pmu__match()
as this functionality is not being tested and the alias matching works
exactly the same as the matching of the PMU name.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
