Subject: [PATCH 4.7 056/141] MIPS: uprobes: fix use of uninitialised variable
Date: Thu,  6 Oct 2016 10:28:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161006074451.166112842@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161006074448.608056610@linuxfoundation.org>

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com>

commit ca86c9ef2b322ebf24772009fdea037688cbdac1 upstream.

arch_uprobe_pre_xol needs to emulate a branch if a branch instruction
has been replaced with a breakpoint, but in fact an uninitialised local
variable was passed to the emulator routine instead of the original
instruction
