Stephane Eranian 117ceeb1f4 perf/x86/utils: Fix uninitialized var in get_branch_type()
offset is passed as a pointer and on certain call path is not set by the
function. If the caller does not re-initialize offset between calls, value
could be inherited between calls. Prevent this by initializing offset on each
call.

This impacts the code in amd_pmu_lbr_filter() which does:

   for(i=0; ...) {
       ret = get_branch_type_fused(..., &offset);
       if (offset)
          lbr_entries[i].from += offset;
   }

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 Restructured Text 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.
