From ed872d09effd54aa8ecb4ceedbc4dbab9592f337 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 03:14:17 +0100 Subject: hw-breakpoints: Zeroe the breakpoint attrs on initialization The perf attrs used to set up breakpoint parameters are often allocated in the stack and not zeroed out before calling hw_breakpoint_init(). Handle it from this helper to avoid random attributes set by the stack.
