Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 20:35:37 +1100 From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu> CC: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl> Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perfcounters/powerpc: fix oops with multiple counters in a group Impact: fix oops-causing bug This fixes a bug in the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init where the code didn't initialize ctrs[n] before passing the ctrs array to check_excludes, leading to possible oopses and other incorrect behaviour. This fixes it by initializing ctrs[n] correctly.
