[PATCH 1/2] oprofile, s390: Fix uninitialized memory access when writing to oprofilefs

From: Robert Richter
Date: Fri Aug 24 2012 - 14:54:33 EST


If oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() is called with count equals zero, *val
remains unchanged. Depending on the implementation it might be
uninitialized. Fixing users of oprofilefs_ulong_ from_user().

We missed these s390 changes with:
