perf machine: Initialize machine->env to address a segfault
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 88a6e2f ]

Its used from trace__run(), for the 'perf trace' live mode, i.e. its
strace-like, non-perf.data file processing mode, the most common one.

The trace__run() function will set trace->host using machine__new_host()
that is supposed to give a machine instance representing the running
machine, and since we'll use perf_env__arch_strerrno() to get the right
errno -> string table, we need to use machine->env, so initialize it in
machine__new_host().

Before the patch:

  (gdb) run trace --errno-summary -a sleep 1
