linux-toradex.git/drivers/perf/xgene_pmu.c, branch v4.9.48 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules perf: xgene: Remove bogus IS_ERR() check 2016-10-17T14:50:07+00:00 Tai Nguyen ttnguyen@apm.com 2016-10-13T18:09:16+00:00 9a1a1f404be55b07aea64864f98d7306cc493360 In acpi_get_pmu_hw_inf we pass the address of a local variable to IS_ERR(), which doesn't make sense, as the pointer must be a real, valid pointer. This doesn't cause a functional problem, as IS_ERR() will evaluate as false, but the check is bogus and causes static checkers to complain. Remove the bogus check.

Remove the bogus check.
