From 86028598de16538f02519141756ccf4accfc29a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2009 14:05:57 +1100 Subject: 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.
