Subject: coresight: perf: deal with error condition properly
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4fd08c7ab6671256b43093c7967f33765963e3d4;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

coresight: perf: deal with error condition properly

Function coresight_build_path() should return -ENOMEM when kzalloc
fails to allocated the requested memory.  That way callers can deal
with the error condition in a similar way.
