Subject: oprofile, s390: Fix uninitialized memory access when writing to
oprofilefs
From: Robert Richter <[email protected]>
commit 81ff3478d9ba7f0b48b0abef740e542fd83adf79 upstream.
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:
913050b oprofile: Fix uninitialized memory access when writing to writing to
oprofilefs
