With some CONFIGS it's possible that in ppc_set_hwdebug, brk.len is uninitialised before being used. It has been reported that GCC 4.2 will produce the following error in this case: arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:1479: warning: 'brk.len' is used uninitialized in this function arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:1381: note: 'brk.len' was declared here This patch corrects this.
