From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>
When there is a parse error on adding an alias the parser
segfaults. It thinks data is a parse_events_evlist and tries
to reference the error member. But it's really a parse_events_terms
for this call path through parse_events_terms.
Add the error member at the same location in parse_events_terms
as in *_evlist and set up a error structure to report errors correctly.
This can be only reproduced by adding errors to JSON aliases.
Segfault:
